With Apple iPad coming to stores on 3rd April, Amazon is trying hard to get back in the competition by launching the much awaited Kindle app for Mac OS X. Kindle for Mac allow users to read Kindle books on their Mac OS X. Users can browse through a massive library of 450k books available for download.

Jay Marine, Amazon Kindle Director said,

Kindle for Mac is the perfect companion application for customers who own a Kindle or Kindle DX. For those customers around the world who don’t yet have a Kindle, Kindle for Mac is a great way to instantly access and read the most popular new releases as well as their old favorites.

Some features of Amazon Kindle are:

• Get the best reading experience available on your Mac. No Kindle required
• Access your Kindle books even if you don't have your Kindle with you
• Automatically synchronizes your last page read and annotations between devices with Whispersync
• Create bookmarks and view the annotations you created on your Kindle

Looks like Amazon Kindle is ready to give its rival, iPad,  some tough competition. The only thing we have to do is wait and watch which one of these wins.
