Blackberry users in the US who have been feeling left out of the e-book frenzy can now join the fray. Amazon has introduced a Beta version of Kindle for Blackberry.

At the Amazon site, you can either have an email sent to your Blackberry smart phone with a link to download, or simply go to amazon.com/kindlebb in your Blackberry’s browser to begin a download.

The Beta version does not yet have search capabilities, or notes and highlights, but these features are to be added in the near future.
