Amazon, the world's largest online retailer, said it is launching a free Kindle application to give BlackBerry users access to over 420,000 books on their handsets.
The new program, called "Kindle for Blackberry", will let customers buy and read Kindle books, most for $10 or less, directly from their device -- including the Bold 9000 and 9700, Curve 8520 and 8900, Storm 9530 and 9550, and Tour 9630.
"Since the launch of our popular Kindle for iPhone app last year, customers have been asking us to bring a similar experience to the BlackBerry," said Ian Freed, Amazon's vice president for Kindle work.
Since launching its Kindle e-reader in late 2007, Amazon has come under heavy pressure from publishing houses over the low prices it charges for e-books to stir up demand for its e-reader before rival Apple joins the fray with its iPad tablet device.
