Those of you who want the Kindle, but don’t want to invest in the device itself will be happy to know that Amazon will be launching a PC app next month. This app will allow PC users to create a Kindle account and send Kindle e-books and periodicals to a PC via a wired or wireless network. It also allows users to read an e-book on a PC while at home, then send that same e-book to a Kindle iPhone app or actual Kindle to pick up where he or she left off.
