Kindle books

Amazon's electronic library

Kindle books are digital books formatted for Amazon's Kindle e-reader devices and apps.

The term often appears in contexts distinguishing electronic from physical editions: The Kindle book is cheaper than the hardcover.

Though Amazon dominates the e-book market, Kindle books use a proprietary format that doesn't work on competing readers.
