Kindle for iPhone and iPad are great — a decent interface, a passably usable storefront and more books than gawd. That said, whereas some features are catching up with the mobile side, this desktop app is still just — no other way to say it — really ugly.

Kindle for Mac 1.4 is out and it brings much needed features to the table:

• Use the built-in dictionary to seamlessly look up the definitions of English words without interrupting your reading.
• Real page numbers for thousands of books in the Kindle Store.
• If several other readers have highlighted a particular passage, then that passage will be highlighted in your book.
• Choose whether you’d like to browse your library in a tile view or in a list view.

Also, Kindle for Mac 1.4 is also available on the Mac App Store (free).

Again, Kindle for Mac is still butt ugly — come on, guys, what’s up with that?
