		<description>Hi Kizito, thanks for your comments and welcome to my blog.

i. Before the Kindle, Amazon distributed e-books in the secured PDF format. I had a couple of those and I didn&#039;t think it was a big hassle reading off the PC screen. When the Kindle came out, they stopped PDF distribution and went into their proprietary Kindle format. Making the Kindle e-books now readable on the PC is a plus and you&#039;re not restricted to reading the books only from a Kindle.

ii. I doubt the software will be anything other than just an e-book reader for the PC - best that can be done will be to improve the user experience but it wouldn&#039;t turn your PC into a Kindle :)

iii. Well I like to think of it this way - what&#039;s the size of the distribution of iSilo and other e-book readers in comparison with the Kindle? Obviously as it stands today, Amazon probably has the largest collection of titles in the ebook format than any other. So I say sign up with the Kindle (at least for now).</description>

		<description>Yes I like Kindle Tim! What I do not understand/comprehend is on the Kindle app;

i- Why would I need another app for reading e-books on a PC while Amazon already told us on how awful reading on a PC can be and so introduced Kindle to us?

ii- Will that app be somewhat capable of reducing or adding something on the PC screen to make it as cool as Kindle&#039;s.

iii- Should I trust amazon on PC e-book readers than I should trust iSilo or all other vendors?

Good update though, greetings from Arusha!</description>
