Amazon unveiled a new HTML5 Kindle Web app on Wednesday. Kindle Cloud Reader, which is already up and running, provides access to books offline and online via a Web browser with no download or installation needed. Currently the service works with Google Chrome and Safari, both on PCs and the iPad. As with all Kindle apps, the cloud reader synchronizes with the user’s Amazon Kindle Library. Without leaving the app, customers can start shopping in the Kindle store, giving Amazon a way to circumvent Apple’s stiff commission policy for in-app purchases.
