Amazon and Microsoft have teamed up and will release an application called “Kindle for PC” in November. It will let you buy, download and read Kindle books on a Windows-based PC, regardless of whether you own a Kindle.
If you also own a Kindle, you can see any notes or highlights made on the e-reader. Amazon will also keep track of where you are in a book, so you can stop reading on your PC and pick up at the same place on your Kindle.
Windows 7 includes touch-screen functionality that will also come into play with the Kindle app, with users able to navigate through pages by swiping the screen, as well as zoom in and out with a finger-pinching motion.
