Amazon will soon be launching an application for their PC customers, which would be to read your Kindle purchased books on your PC. Steve Balmer also hinted at the launch ceremony of Windows 7 that this OS natively supports Multi-touch input, so the book reading experience on such devices would be great, and Kindle is now following a path, which currently seems quite right.

But they should keep in mind that the moment they shift the digital books from Kindle to PC, they’ll be copied and illegally distributed at a very rapid pace, which would result in a huge loss for the company. Until now, there hasn’t been any solid word about piracy of Kindle books, but the moment they hit Windows Platform, everything is possible.

Kindle for PC Features

• Purchase, download as well as read hundreds of thousands of books available in Kindle Store
• Access entire library of previously purchased/downloaded Kindle books stored on Amazon’s servers for free
• Select from more than 10 different font sizes and adjust words displayed per line
• Amazo’s Whispersync technology automatically saves and synchronizes bookmarks and last page read for added convenience
• View notes and highlights marked on Kindle and Kindle DX Turn pages with finger swipe (Windows 7 users only)
• Zoom in and out of text with a pinch of the fingers thanks to the Windows Touch technology (Windows 7)

The application is expected to be released very soon and will be free of charge.
