Most people think of Amazon.com Inc.’s Kindle as a slim piece of hardware the size of a very thin paperback book.
In fact, Kindle is also software that displays digital books on any device Amazon chooses. On Thursday, the Seattle online retailing giant unveiled a Kindle version for computers.
Dubbed Kindle for PC, the free software will enable readers to view full-color photos and use touch screens to browse books, turn pages and adjust font sizes for digital books purchased at Amazon’s online bookstore.
