“Kindle for the Web” is featured on the online retail giant’s website, Amazon.com, and book samples can be embedded on other websites or shared through Facebook and Twitter.<\/p>\n

Users can click on a “Read First Chapter Free” button on selected Amazon books and a browser window opens featuring the sample chapter. The book can also be purchased directly from the browser.<\/p>\n

“With Kindle for the Web, it’s easier than ever for customers to sample Kindle books — there’s no downloading or installation required,” Amazon Kindle director Dorothy Nicholls said in a statement.<\/p>\n

“Kindle for the Web is also a great way for bloggers and authors to promote books on their websites by letting visitors read a chapter without leaving their site.”<\/p>\n

Bloggers or website owners who sign on to “Kindle for the Web” can earn referral fees from Amazon when customers buy books using the links on their websites, Amazon said.<\/p>\n

Amazon has already made Kindle books accessible on a host of devices beyond the company’s own Kindle e-reader.<\/p>\n

On Monday, Amazon announced a Kindle application for an upcoming tablet computer from Blackberry maker Research in Motion.<\/p>\n
