(BUSINESS WIRE) --
(NASDAQ: AMZN)—Amazon announced the launch of Kindle Lite, the lightest
reading app for Android smartphones in Kenya. Designed specifically for
smartphones with limited storage that run on slower networks, the app
is only 2 MB and provides you with a great reading experience even over
2G/3G networks. The Kindle Lite app is free and includes features
readers love, like an integrated dictionary so you can easily look up
the definition of a word. The app also makes it easier to browse and
read from a collection of over 5 million eBooks, including thousands of
free eBooks. Kindle Lite is available today and can be downloaded for
free in the Google Play Store.
“The
ability to get lost in reading a great story should not be limited by
the speed of your network or storage size of your phone,” said Sherif
Yacoub, Vice President, Kindle. “We designed the Kindle Lite app to
improve the reading experience for all our Kenyan customers - offering
faster downloads, instant reading, and a lighter app.”
