The Kindle app for the iPhone has recently been given an update, and this is one that will either be very nice or no big deal depending on where you live. It seems that the latest update has brought about just one new item, but it has brought that item to over 60 places.

With the release of version 1.3, the Kindle for iPhone app is now available in over 60 countries. And that should be exciting news for any Kindle users outside the US, because previously the app was only available to those in the US. Of course, the Kindle for iPhone app retains the same features that we in the US have come to love, including Whispersync which will allow you to read on both your Kindle and iPhone app and have your pages, bookmarks and notes synced between devices.

With Kindle for iPhone customers in over 60 countries can:

• Purchase, download and read hundreds of thousands of books available in the Kindle Store.
• Read the beginning of books for free before they buy.
• Add and automatically synchronize bookmarks and last page read.
• Access their library of previously purchased Kindle books stored on Amazon’s servers for free.
• Choose from six different font sizes and adjust words per line.
• Add and view notes and highlights marked on Kindle and Kindle DX.
• Read books in full color including children’s books, cookbooks, travel books, textbooks and graphic novels.
