Kindle News

Brace yourselves Kindlers...  Looks like our little machines are getting a new update... I get so excited about things like this. My husband says, "simple pleasures for simple minds," and he may be right!

From Amazon Help today:
The 2.5 software update for Kindle and Kindle DX is coming soon. We are rolling out the new software update to a limited group of Kindle users and plan a broad release in late May 2010. Check back here for updates on the release schedule.
Here's a list of the coming enhancements:

  • Collections: Organize your books and documents into one or more collections. 
  • PDF Pan and Zoom: Zoom into PDFs and pan around to easily view small print and detailed tables or graphics. 
  • Password Protection: Password protect your Kindle when you're not using it. 
  • More Fonts & Improved Clarity: Enjoy two new larger font sizes and sharper fonts for an even more comfortable reading experience. 
  • Facebook & Twitter Posts: Share book passages with friends on Facebook and Twitter directly from your Kindle. 
  • Popular Highlights: See what the Kindle community thinks are the most interesting passages in the books you're reading.
