Amazon’s ingeniously named Kindle for iPhone hit the AppStore Tuesday, a free download that synchs with Kindle owners’ web store accounts on Amazon, allowing them to read their Kindle e-books on Apple’s smaller iPhone and iPod Touch devices.

Amazon’s Whispersync bookmarking technology interacts with the iPhone app to allow readers to start reading on one device and pick up where they left off at a later time on the other device.

The app allows users to buy a Kindle ebook through the Amazon web store and wirelessly transfer it to the iPhone. First chapters of all books in the Kindle web store catalog may also be read for free in the iPhone app.
