I've installed the Kindle for PC software. To say the least, it needs a little work.
It doesn't appear that what you're reading appears in the Home screen. Instead, everything shows up in the "Archive", and you have to specifically open it (in the PC software) to have it show up on the Home screen. More problematic, the software doesn't contain all the books you've got on your Kindle, unless you've only bought them from Amazon. I've got quite a few Gutenberg titles on my Kindle (in mobi format) and they're not reflected in the software at all. Further, there doesn't appear to be any way to import books into the software. The software only downloads from your Amazon account.
Granted, the limitations I've seen so far aren't exactly surprising, given the fact that Amazon is really using this as book selling software, rather than book management software, but it's still a little disappointing.
