It's a great experience. I kinda suffer from ADD so the smaller screen and limited text per page actually make me read faster with much higher comprehension. Thus far, my favorite app. I don’t have a Kindle but do use my iPod Touch to read Kindle books. It’s a great experience.

In my brief tests, the iPhone app synchronized rapidly and perfectly with my purchased library of Kindle books on Amazon’s servers, and allowed me to retrieve a previously purchased e-book, without paying again, just as my hardware Kindle does. It also synchronized to the furthest page I had read in that book on my Kindle. After reading for awhile on the iPhone, I performed that process in reverse, and my Kindle took me to the same spot where I had quit reading on the iPhone.

Does syncing work only with books purchased after the App installed? I tried the app and I can’t get it to sync with my Kindle. Does syncing work only with books purchased after the App installed?
