Kindle e-book reader available on BlackBerries

Nice to hear that Amazon tries to grow up and make kindle a mature publishing platform. It has more to go but at leas they realized that "if we stay closed we day". Until now the reader is available on iPhone, BlackBerrie and of course Kindle ... and will be available in the near future on iPad and common Apple computers. I suspect a version for Windows Mobile and netbooks will follow. It's just a matter of marketing calculated delays like "we have to keep something for the next month too".
The next question is "Is the Kindle (software) reader a good reading platform of this century?".
Well I doubt, and this is not Amazon fault. It's the way we think about reading devices (and by "reading devices" I uderstand everything starting from the carved stone to the ultimate ebook).
I'll come back on this in the near future.
