Amazon was always reluctant releasing any desktop software to read kindle books. Now after B&N’s announcement of nook Amazon has taken some steps to make kindle more competitive and friendly by cutting the price of international kindle and announcing kindle for PC very soon. Here is the list what you can do with kindle for PC:
Get the best reading experience available on your PC. No kindle required
Access your kindle books even if you don’t have your kindle with you
Automatically synchronizes your last page read and annotations between devices with Whispersync
Create bookmarks and view the annotations you created on your kindle
Search and browse more than 360,000 books, including 101 of 112 New York TimesĀ® Best Sellers. If you are a non-U.S. customer, book availability may vary
Find New York TimesĀ® Best Sellers and new releases for $9.99, unless marked otherwise
Get free book samples – read the first chapter for free before you decide to buy
Books you purchase can also be read on a kindle
kindle newspapers, magazines, and blogs are not currently available for kindle for PC

At least 128MB of RAM
