Book flogger Amazon has stuck its Kindle book reader software on the PC. The outfit says that its new Kindle Books application will allow Windows PC users to purchase, download and read e-book titles from Amazon's Kindle Store service.

The PC version will support Amazon's Whispersync service, which allows users to automatically sync their bookmarks or current pages across PCs, Kindle tablet devices or iPhone/iPod Touch handsets. According to the outfits press release Kindle for PC is the perfect companion application for folks who own a Kindle or Kindle DX.

We guess it means that they can read two books at once. It said that Kindle for PC is also a great way for people around the world to read the most popular books of today even if they don’t yet have a Kindle.

Unlike the Kindle, which costs an arm and a leg, the PC application will be offered as a free download and will support Windows 7, Vista and XP systems. It is not clear at this point if it comes hobbled for EU users like the Kindle International model.
