Again, look at the way they are marketed and you will see why it will probably be a long time before Amazon releases a PC/Mac reader for the Amazon Kindle. |
Actually the Kindle is the only product that does not have a version running on a PC. That should tell you something about what everyone else thinks. Most can use a PC to help manage the eBooks and to provide a platform to develop your own books. Some even allow you to sync the books in such a way that you can pick up where you left off in your reading.
Amazon is clearly positioning themselves differently but is this always a good thing?
