The main advantage of using the Kindle app is the Locations feature. Since syncing via Whispernet is only available for books on the Kindle store, what can I do with sideloaded books? Well I just take a note of the location of my last read position. This allows me to easily continue reading from PC, Mac, iPhone or my K3. Sure enough iBooks can sync positions between idevices but there isn't a desktop client available.

Plus the Kindle app is great, fast and simple, and maximises screen real estate. Built in dictionary too!

Reminds me that I had better backup the Kindle app in case Amazon block sideloading in future versions!
