Guardian/Observer launches Kindle edition

Another format for the new media mad UK newspaper group.

The Guardian and Observer Kindle edition is now available for download seven days a week in the UK, US and more than 100 other countries.

Pricing is as follows:

UK: £9.99/month, £0.99/issue
US: $9.99/month, $0.75/issue
Rest of world: $17.99/month, $1.99/issue

Of course, the Guardian is already live on smartphones and iPad in some form. Its m.guardian.co.uk mobile site now accounts for ten per cent of digital traffic and its iPhone and iPad Eyewitness apps have been downloaded over 400,000 and 500,000 times respectively.

It says the new Kindle and imminent iPad versions have provided an opportunity to redesign the newspaper in tablet form.

The Guardian is also close to working on an official Android app for an autumn launch, and a new product for the HP TouchPad, called Guardian Zeitgeist.
