Kindle for Android App is Equipped with PDF Capability
The Android Market posted an update to the Kindle for Android app that many tablet users rely on for their digital reading. Oddly enough, the update came with very little fanfare, despite the fact that the major highlight of it is the app’s ability to allow PDF reading on Android powered devices through the Kindle app.
The-Digital-Reader.com posted a piece on the new PDF capability of the Kindle for Android app, allowing mobile devices to be PDF readers. According to Nate Hoffelder’s article, there didn’t seem to be a lot of fanfare about the update to the app.

While the PDF capability could go a little further towards enabling more features that users should be able to expect, this does open up the possibility of reading PDF formatted ebooks(pdf tips:How to Edit PDF files in MS Word document flexibly on Mac). With the wealth of ebook distribution platforms available to self-published authors, this would conceivably allow greater access to at least the reading of more authors’ files, if not all of the bells and whistles that come from reading on a dedicated e-reader device.
