Kindle iOS App Gets iPad-Heavy Update

[Maura]

AppleInsider reports that Amazon’s universal Kindle iOS app has been updated with lots of new features for the iPad in particular, such as a Newsstand feature with access to more than 400 magazines and newspapers that can also be downloaded to the Kindle Fire, including the likes of Martha Stewart Living, Cosmopolitan, Men’s Health, and Popular Science. AppleInsider says that both single issues and subscriptions are available. Another feature introduced to the iPad version by the update is access to print replica textbooks, which enables students to purchase or rent a wide variety of said textbooks. These special textbooks keep the same formatting as the print editions, but also have added notes, highlights, zooming, panning, linked Contents tables, and Whispersyncing of notes with other Kindles.

The iPhone and iPod touch hasn’t been entirely forgotten in the update, you’ll be pleased to know, which also brings with it integration of personal documents, such as Word Docs, to iPhone, iPad and iPod touch, which means that you can use your Send-to-Kindle email address to move your documents around your devices. PDFs are also now readable via the newly integrated PDF reader.

The Amazon Kindle Fire Review The Amazon Kindle Fire runs on a customized version of Android 2.3 OS, whereas, the Apple iPad 2 runs Apple's iOS 4.3.1. Without getting too technical, these two operating systems are comparable, with a few differences. However, with the combination of the new cloud-accelerated split browser, Amazon Silk, the web experience on the Kindle is expected to have an advantage in terms of speed and performance. Amazon Silk Browser: as briefly mentioned above, Silk is a cloud-accelerated internet browser that is exclusive to Amazon's Kindle Fire. In simple terms, this innovative web browser does all the heavy lifting through Amazon's remote servers, thereby using less resources of the Kindle Fire device. This not only helps in the tablets speed and performance, but also conserves battery life. For more information on kindle just read here >>>>>>.... ***Moderation Notice: Deleted Outside Link***
