Amazon's Kindle is probably the most popular ebook reader. This PC application helps them stay on top. One of the best features is synchronization between devices, so the reader is always on the correct page when you go from your Kindle to reading on your PC and then to your iPhone. I've been using the excellent MobiPocket reader for both my PC and my Palm Centro, but the Kindle may be a better choice for many.
Kindle for PC Ships, Hints At Future Color Kindle | Gadget Lab | Wired.com:
"Kindle fans now have one more place they can read their e-books: A PC. Kindle for PC joins the equally well-named Kindle for iPhone and, er, Kindle for Kindle in the list of ways to read Amazon’s DRM’ed content. A Mac version is “coming soon”.
The application does pretty much what the iPhone version does: your place is synced with other devices by Whispersync, and there is support for your bookmarks and annotations. You can browse and buy from the Kindle Store, but you can’t access blogs, newspapers or magazines. This isn’t a problem, we guess, as you’re sat at a computer with a web browser anyway."
FYI - DRM = Digital Rights Management
