There aren't any iPads in customer hands yet, but that will happen soon, as in April 3. On Monday, Amazon.com made sure everyone knew they were ready, unveiling the Kindle Apps for Tablet Computers (including Kindle for iPad) web page.

Strangely, they put that "(including Kindle for iPad)" in "fine print;" some would say it should be bolded.

As with other Kindle apps on other devices and platforms (PC, Mac, iPhone, iPod touch, Blackberry), the app will sync between your other app versions or a Kindle itself to make sure that you pick up where you left off when you "pick up" another device.

Amazon.com said that at the time of the iPad's launch, more than 450,000 Kindle books will be available, including 101 of 112 New York Times Best Sellers. Additionally, Amazon.com noted the following UI features.

• Get the best reading experience available on your tablet computer including the iPad. No Kindle required
• Tailored to the size, look, and feel of your tablet computer
• Customize background color and font size to ease eye strain
• Adjust screen brightness from within the app to make reading easier
• Page turn animation replicates the look of turning a page in a book. Or choose Basic Reading Mode for a simpler and unadorned reading experience

It's also known that Barnes & Noble will have its own iPad app ready for the device's launch. Meanwhile, however, Android users continue to wonder where the heck an app for their smartphones is.
