Amazon Kindle App - Day 2

In the past 24 hours I've had a chance to dive a little deeper into the Amazon Kindle app on the HP TouchPad.  Clearly no "wow" factor here... not that there actually needs to be one.  Its just a reader ap combined with the ability to download and synch books purchased from Amazon.

Animated Page Turns

I get the idea that some people feel the need to have the visual metaphor of turning a page on an e-reader -- or they just think its "cool"-- but its a loser in the present incarnation... slow, clunky and cheap-looking.

  1. I'm trying to get the Kindle app for my Touchpad but can't seem to find it. Where do you get it? I'm on WebOS 3.0 and thought there is a later update.

  2. If the Kindle icon on your TouchPad does not work, or is missing, download the Kindle app via the HP App Catalog icon on the Downloads tab on your Launcher.
