If you own a BlackBerry and are an avid reader, here is some good news for you. The world's largest online retailer Amazon.com has announced "Kindle for BlackBerry", an app for select BlackBerrys. The app will enable users to access over 400,000 Kindle books on their phones. And what's more? This app can be downloaded for free from Amazon.

Just like its online version, this mobile app automatically synchronizes your last page read and annotations between devices with Whispersync. You can also create bookmarks and view the annotations you created on your Kindle, computer, or other Kindle-compatible mobile device.

The BlackBerry models that support this app include Bold 9000, Bold 9700, Curve 8520, Curve 8900, Storm 9530, Storm 9550 and Tour 9630.

However, the sad part is, Kindle for BlackBerry is available to U.S. customers only, at least for now.
