The universal Kindle App for iOS was updated today with quite a few new features for the iPhone, iPad and iPod touch. Included are adjustable margins when running on the iPad, allowing you to choose from three new layouts. Amazon has also added faster highlights to let you mark important stuff to reference later as well as an improved brightness control, highlighting for images, a notebook feature to gather all the bookmarks, notes, and highlights for studying, and better navigation for print replica textbooks.
The Kindle app from Amazon allows you to access any purchased books from your Amazon account right on your iPhone or iPad as if it were a Kindle itself. When you purchase Kindle-enabled books from the Amazon web site, they will appear immediately for download on your iOS device of choice. The Kindle app lets you read over one million books, as well as hundreds of newspapers, magazines, textbooks, and even PDFs.
The app works with Kindle’s Wispersync service, which synchronizes the last page you read, bookmarkes, notes and highlights from your iPad or iPhone so that even if you own an actual Kindle device, you can pick up where you left off regardless of what device you are reading on.
