Any plans for allowing Kindle books to be read on a PC?

Does Amazon have any plans for a PC based Kindle book reader?I love the idea of the kindle. I’m a programmer and a PC technician. I love the idea of having all of my technical references loaded onto a reading pad along with my favorite fiction, and news. That would be awesome. But, in programmer/technician mode I frequently work on one monitor while referencing documentation on another monitor. At times it’s tremendously useful to be able to copy text from the documentation and paste it into my work. If my only option for viewing my docs is on the Kindle then I lose the convenience of my current work flow process. I want the best of both worlds. I want to be able to conveniently carry everything I want to read around on a Kindle, but also be able pull up any of my docs on PC. So, I think I’m going to hold off on buying a Kindle until there is a companion PC based reader as well. Anyway that’s my two cents.John
