Samsung and Amazon have unveiled a new Kindle app developed specifically for Samsung smartphone and tablet users.
Kindle for Samsung
The app will be available for download from Samsung Apps, and should support all Samsung devices running Android 4.0 or later.
Every month users will be able to download a free eBook from a choice of 4 titles.
Aside from the Samsung Book Deals, the Kindle for Samsung app acts a lot like Amazon’s app for other platforms. Users can browse the Kindle store for over a million eBooks, download titles to read and keep bookmarks and last-read pages synchronized between devices (such as smartphones, tablets, and Kindle eReaders).
I doubt a few free eBooks per year will encourage anyone to choose a Samsung phone or tablet over the competition. But it’s certainly a nice perk for existing Samsung device owners — and it means Amazon Kindle owners aren’t the only ones who get extra perks from the Kindle Store (Kindle and Kindle Fire user can access Amazon’s Kindle Owners’ Lending Library and “borrow” up to one eBook per month).

just noticed a posting on this web blog. I thought this site was dead. It has been almost a year since the last posting. Am I browsing this site incorrectly?
I wanted to test WordPress 3.9 before updating Liliputing, and figured I could take it for a spin here… :)
For the most part the sort of articles I used to post here are now published at Liliputing where they get wider exposure so I’ve largely retired this blog.
Good to know there’s someone still paying attention though!
