Last week, Amazon finally released the long-awaited Kindle application for Mac users. Today, Amazon launched a preview page for the iPad Kindle App.

The Kindle App for the iPad will include numerous features that you already enjoy with the iPhone, Mac or Windows Kindle app and more:

• The ability to adjust the screen brightness right from within the app to reduce eye strain.
• Shown in the image below, turning a page with your finger will replicate a ”Page turn animation” just like the iBooks app.
• “In cover-navigation view, the sky behind the silhouetted figure will change according to what time of day it is.” says TUAW.

The Kindle App and iBooks App will be competing to live on your iPad, since the iBooks app will not be preloaded on the iPad, but rather you’ll have to get it from the App Store like the Kindle app.
