Amazon Announces All-new Kindle App
After launching e-book reader Kindle Oasis, Amazon on Tuesday (24 October) announced an all-new Kindle app that is designed for book lovers and makes it easier to turn your phone or tablet into a book—so you can read anytime, anywhere.
The new Kindle app is now available in the App Store and Google Play for free.
The Kindle app features a new look and feel inspired by books. Details include larger book covers, new fonts, a new app icon, and new light and dark background themes to choose from.
Its new bottom bar navigation automatically shows you an icon of the book you’re currently reading. The bottom bar also provides quick ‘one-tap’ access to Kindle’s other features allowing you to switch between the pages of your book, your library, your personal bookstore, and more.
With the search bar now always available throughout the app so you can easily find books from your library or from the Kindle Store.
“We’ve built the new Kindle app from the ground up for book lovers, giving readers easy access to everything they might want to do with their books, all in one place,” said Chuck Moore, Vice President, Kindle. “It’s now easier than ever to turn your phone or tablet into a book and immerse yourself in an author’s world at any time.”
