Online books retailer Amazon.com, Inc., US, has announced that it has expanded its Kindle for the Web service to enable anyone with access to a web browser to buy and read full Kindle books - no download or installation required. Bookstores, other retailers, authors, bloggers and other website owners will now be able to offer Kindle books from their own sites, let their readers start enjoying the full text of these books instantly, and earn referral fees through the Amazon Associates Program for sales made through their sites.
Website owners can embed the Kindle for the Web widget and start offering Kindle books. The update to Kindle for the Web, demonstrated on-stage at a recent Google Chrome event, will support Chrome OS devices, including the new Chrome OS Notebook, as well as the Chrome browser and other web browsers.
Kindle for the Web joins Amazon's wide selection of free reading apps for iPad, iPod touch, iPhone, Mac, PC, BlackBerry and Android-based devices that let customers read and sync their reading library, bookmarks, notes, and highlights with the device or platform of their choice.
