Verizon Wireless and Amazon have announced that Android users can now experience the Kindle reading experience on Verizon Android devices currently released, and more to come. Although this news isn’t exactly groundbreaking, it does have its benefits. Verizon Android users will have access to over 700,000 e-books on the Kindle store, and will allow convenient features such as Amazon’s Whispersync technology, which syncs your bookmark in any particular novel across all of your devices, so missing where you left off will never become an issue. Also every book you buy from the Kindle Store will automatically be backed up online, where they can be re-downloaded at any time. Needless to say, anyone who is a bookworm and owns an Android on Verizon… you need this application.
