eBooks Can Now Be Read on Any Computer or Tablet

Amazon and Barnes & Noble have been quietly expanding the number of free apps available to read Kindle and Nook eBooks on any tablet, smart phone or computer. Free Kindle and Nook apps are now available for PC, Mac, iPad, iPhone and Android devices. Kindle also has a free app for the BlackBerry, as well as a Cloud Reader that makes it possible to read a Kindle eBook in any browser on any computer, tablet or smart phone.

Until this week, one had to go to separate Amazon and Barnes & Noble websites to find all those free eBook reading apps. Now one website provides links to all those free apps in one place.

LifeWithSiri.com has been completely redesigned and was relaunched today with links to all the free eBook reading apps on its home page. The new website also provides comprehensive information about how to use Siri, the voice-recognizing "personal assistant" on the iPhone 4S. Its home page has been redesigned to include links to 9 eBooks about Siri, and more than 40 articles and 20 videos.

While nearly all other eBooks are mainly text-based, "Life With Siri" primarily uses iPhone screenshots to demonstrate how to most effectively utilize it. In its new 2nd Edition, there are more than 100 screenshots.

The "Life With Siri" eBooks range in price from $.99 to $1.99 and are available from both Amazon and Barnes & Noble.
