And iDevice, too, as far as the syncing goes. I've gotten quite used to reading Kindle books on my iPhone with the colors reversed, which is to say white letters on a black background. It's much easier on the eyes than the default, and I tell myself it extends the battery time, though that's just a guess. I actually use my iPhone over the actual Kindle when reading in a really dim room. The LED light attachment thingy I have for the Kindle is too blue, and doesn't light the reading area uniformly enough for my liking.
