Amazon is set to launch a web-based Kindle reader that will work on PC, iPad and presumably smartphones too. You’ll be able to read your Kindle stuff from any device without downloading any software. And you should also be able to read books while offline.

In the short term this is being discussed as a way of working around Apple’s restrictive terms. However as an ecommerce platform on the web this is also powerful: readers will be able to buy Kindle books on Amazon.com and start reading them right there in the web browser without downloading anything or switching device. http://techcrunch.com/2011/08/09/kindle-cloud-reader
