Kindle Mobile App Update
The Kindle mobile app is getting an update. This is mostly for Android running 7 and up.
iOS users have already seen this update, though the split screen feature is only for certain iPad models--probably the latest ones.
Android has had this split-screen feature now on their phones for a bit, and Samsung (which had this feature even before Google put it out) Note phones had it forever until it came to the S line.
Amazon is adding notifications to the Kindle app. I've had this on mine for a bit, so don't know if this will be a new-and-improved notification system, but could be nice if you're favorite author puts out new work you may want to read, or if there is a flash sale you may want to jump on.
I purchased a Joe Hill book this way one time, so it could be useful.
Who is excited for this split-screen feature, or the notifications?
Do you have them already on your device?
I do feel it can be useful to look up info while reading, but you can sort of do that already by using Android's card system and opening up a search page.
Also, there is already a dictionary in the app. So most of the times that's enough for me.
It's nice to have any extra feature, though. Even if all of us won't use it.
Now I wonder, will they be giving the vertical scroll like iOS has? That might be a nifty feature for those who don't want to swipe left and right and just scroll up and down like a news article in a mobile browser.
The Kindle update is coming soon.
