Despite their clear commitment to the hardware version of the Kindle, Amazon continues to make the Kindle apps that run on the iPad and iPhone better. Today, version 2.2 of the app brings a full dictionary with it. This matches the functionality of Apple’s own iBooks app, but the Kindle implementation is even a little better.

I can't see the attraction of trying to read a book on such a small screen.

Sorry, did I miss half of it?  Yes, it's the small LCD screen I meant, Sam.  :)
