Remember those book things? They were sort of like scrunched together paper products bound by spines. Remember?

Okay now do you remember ebooks? They were sort of like scanned versions of the paper products that you could access with an ebook reader. Such as Kindle, which was developed by Amazon and subsidiary Lab126.

Today Amazon released a Kindle ebook reader for your home computer. While it seems much nicer to us to be able to read in bed (or on the can) with an actual book, if you feel so inclined, you can download this beta release of PC Kindle and read novels and such from your display. Kindle PC works with Windows 7, Vista, XP -- and a Mac version is "coming soon."

Kindle's e-book repository is upwards of 400,000, and with this reader, you can also get magazines and newspapers and stuff like that. While reading a novel on a PC display doesn't seem that awesome to us, perhaps having a Kindle ebook going on a notebook wouldn't be so bad. You'll also be able to use the app on an iPhone and iPod Touch.

Planned features include being able to turn the page with hand movements .

Oh just wait, are you Canadian? Then no luck buddy. If you are from the Great White North you will not be able to download the program.
