@Gary lol! I thought I was the only one who always carried around his phone AND ipod touch just to use the kindle app :) I currently use a Blackberry, but my next phone will almost certainly be an Android (maybe the EVO) so I'm really looking forward to Kindle getting on the ball with this. If they don't... maybe Barnes&Noble will. Their ereader app is pretty competitive (I have both and generally buy the ebook from the cheapest offering).

I need the kindle app! I won't buy a kindle because I do not need another device, but I read books everyday. The Droid is the best phone out there and Amazon would be stupid not to invest in this platform

When an Android Kindle app comes out it would be great if it supports dual screen devices like the Alex ereader and B&N Nook. That way we'll have proper ebook readers that support epub, Kindle and PDF. These devices have e-ink displays which is preferable to reading an ebook on an iPad.

I'd like to buy a Nook, but there are more new titles available for Kindle outside the US so having access to Amazon's titles makes the device much more useful. With the Kindle app running on a Nook (which is an Android machine) I get the best of both worlds.

You're right in that this is ridiculously long overdue. I got my iTouch back in March '09 and i've had the Kindle app since then. it was great until i got my Droid in December. Since then i've been forced to either continue to carry two devices everywhere or just stop using the app. Needless to say, i haven't been reading very much since Christmas.

You also have to consider that the Kindle in effect is just a promotion device for Amazon's own bookstore and magazine subscription. They make most of their money through that and not the actual selling of the device itself. Also not everyone wants to carry all their functionality on their phone, some do prefer different devices to handle different programs. Plus the Kindle is a really cool device just by itself

I am with Gary on this. I too prefer my actual Kindle but it is not always with me or if it is, it is not practical to use. An app on my MyTouch Fender would be awesome. Wonder if it will allow you to coordinate page count with actual Kindle?

Personally, I don't know why Amazon has not put out the kindle client yet for Android, but I'm hoping it's coming soon. I would still prefer to read on my actual Kindle, but I've had many occasions where I unexpectedly had some time to read and only had my phone on me.

Fingers crossed!

God I hope they do. I'm still using my iPhone for reading kindle, but I'd rather use my Nexus One. :o

After all this time, I still read it as the Dell Steak. And I'm not even hungry.

I hope that this is true. I've been waiting for them to come out with an app for us Android users. A friend of mine has the iPhone app and says it's great so I'm looking forward to this.
