Amazon’s Kindle e-book reader is now available for Microsoft Windows Phone 7 users, spreading the e-book reading joy across even more platforms. By adding the Windows Phone 7 to the already expansive list of Kindle apps available on iPhone, Android, iPad and Blackberry more people can read with their hand-held devices than ever.

The Kindle App rapidly became the most popular download for Windows Phone 7 users and has features not previously available. The new features allow users to take full advantage of the Amazon Buy Once, Read Everywhere approach to Kindle applications. This includes a nifty bookmark feature, which uses Whispersync across Kindle platforms that keeps your place, any highlights and notes, regardless of the Kindle e-book device you use.

With the ability to read in landscape and portrait mode, the Kindle app for Windows Phone 7 is user-friendly and adaptable. There are three different colored backgrounds and five fonts the user can choose from, allowing for a personalized reading experience.

Kindle also now comes with a personalized recommendations feature that is integrated into the home screen and even lets the user recommend their favorite Kindle e-books to their friends. The social component of reading has been introduced to the Kindle world with the ability to lend favorite books to friends for loan times of up to 14 days. Risk-free lending at its digital best!

The ability to re-download a Kindle purchase from Amazon is reassuring with the new Worry-Free Archive, so if you ever lose or damage your Windows Phone 7, any Kindle e-books will always be available to you.

The stellar rise in popularity of e-book readers and apps such as the Kindle has taken the literary world by storm. With Amazon earlier announcing the development of Kindle apps for both Android and Windows based LCD tablets the interest generated in multi-use devices utilized as e-readers will continue.

Despite the increase in popularity of LCD tablets and smartphones as e-book readers using Kindle apps, people have appeared to embrace both multi-platform and e-readers to ensure all their reading needs are met. This has allowed Amazon to cover the market effectively by offering Kindle e-readers and cross-platform Kindle Apps to ensure the technically savvy can keep their favorite reading material at the tips, or brush of their fingers.
