Amazon will make 5,000 more books available for its Kindle e-reader device.
The new titles are available thanks to a deal struck with publisher Simon & Schuster. Amazon already has 120,000 downloadable titles available.
The Kindle was launched last November and now accounts for over six per cent of sales of books that are available in paper and Kindle versions.
Amazon claims the Kindle can hold up to 170 complete books, together with electronic versions of the day's newspapers. There are no plans to launch outside the US at present.
