Kindle for the iphone but as with the entire kindle ebook format, that is what is not accessible.  In other words, you can use the reader, you just can't read with it.

Hello,

Kendle for iPhone is not accessible. As far as I have heard, it is also not accessible for the PC.

That said, there is a book reader for the iPhone called Kobo Which is accessible. People have reported that this company sells a couple million books.
