Amazon has announced the launch of Kindle Lite for Android in India.
The app size is less than 2MB and is targeted at readers using smartphones with limited storage and on poor mobile networks. It is an India-first product and is available as a free download on Google Play Store.
Amazon said the app provides several Kindle features, including personalised recommendations, Whispersync as well as free eBook samples and titles in English, Hindi, Tamil, Marathi, Gujarati and Malayalam languages.
“As part of our continued focus on India, we are always working to improve the reading experience for our customers. Apps constantly compete for space on a mobile phone and Kindle Lite solves this problem for our readers,” Rajiv Mehta, Country Manager, Kindle, said in a statement.
“Kindle Lite is less than 2MB and built to provide a great reading experience even on 2G/3G networks,” Mehta said.
