Yesterday, Amazon released a brand new version of its Kindle for Android app with some very cool new features!
If you are like me, sometimes you might not have your Kindle with you when an unexpected opportunity to read comes along – in traffic, at work on a break, etc. This is when I love having a Kindle app on my phone.
As an Android user as well, I am happy to see Amazon taking their Android app seriously! Here are some of the cool new features -
- Voice Search
- In-text Search
- Ability to add notes
- Ability to sync notes between devices
- Text highlighting to bring up results from wikipedia and dictionary.com
- Content from Shelfari – Amazon’s book related social network
- Screen lock to avoid unwanted screen rotation
These features make the new Kindle for Android app a fully functional Kindle app, with many of the features found on the iPad/iPhone Kindle app. It still doesn’t replace my Kindle, but it is nice to have when my Kindle isn’t with me! Android owners rejoice!
