Amazon adds audio and video support to iOS Kindle app

We’re sure that some will say this is basically Amazon admitting its own eBook hardware doesn’t have what it takes to stay competitive halfway into 2010, but for everyone else, the announcement that the Kindle app for iOS has been updated to support audio and video files is great news. So far we can only find nine titles that take advantage of the new A/V capabilities, but if you’ve been dying for instructional videos go to along with titles like Knitting for Dummies and Rose’s Heavenly Cakes, prepare yourself for obscene levels of excitement.

    It stinks that you have to login to use the App (The one time I launched it on my iPod touch 1G) Didn’t they buy out Stanza?

    As an avid reader I feel that features like this take away from one of the greatest aspects about reading. You know… Like using your imagination.

      Well, some of the titles look like they benefit from videos. It isn’t like you’re going to have the film version of Sherlock Holmes thrown into your Sir Arthur Conan Doyle novel. In things like textbooks, instructional guides, they’re beneficial.
