The Kindle app of the mail order giant Amazon since 2010 already provides for an easy access to the rich Bookstore called the Kindle Store with over 1.5 million books, including 140,000 in the German language. The previously rather simply held Reader application some new features and a completely redesigned user interface get missed in the current version fourth
since even Google has gone about his offer PlayBooks in the market with electronic books, Amazon pioneered got it in this segment with a serious and extremely potent competitors do. This could be one of the reasons that the company from founder Jeff Bezos now at its reader app sets into a bit more stuff than before.
The previous versions of the app are limited to basic functions that are simply required to Buy, Order and read e-books. The books in the library being represented arranged in the form of a list or grid and sort by a few criteria such as archive and magazines. Then there was a local search and the ability to sync books you just read through the Amazon account with other hardware or software Kindles.
The most striking novelty of the just-released version 4 is the completely revised user interface, the books and magazines is presented in a chic carousel view. Furthermore, the navigation pane has been adjusted and now allows faster and more sophisticated access to the media stored locally and in the cloud. Also new is the option “Popular excerpts.”
reading area itself has done little, however: The top menu bar can be shown or hidden by tapping the center of the screen now, which makes for a bit more space. Otherwise, you will find exactly the same adjustment possibilities that you have already knew of the app and then find themselves in the physical Kindles.
Some users have been complaining about the update, Force Closes, against the usual procedure is to help: Stop the app manually and clear app data .
