The Kindle app for tablets and smartphones with Google Android, which is now by far the most widely used mobile operating system has undergone a major update with many new features. In addition to already known from the Kindle reader functions such as Word Wise and Popular Highlights There are also originary. However, apparently found even larger bug collection.
Its discreet version number of 4.11, which supports the shared on Thursday new Kindle for Android version, the largest functional update the app hides this year. Significant improvement is Word Wise: For complicated (English) words short definitions can be shown directly in the text now. Since autumn 2014, Word Wise for the current eBook Reader Kindle family available (Kindle Paperwhite 1 and 2, Kindle Voyage, Kindle (2014)).

Amazon also says in its release notes of bug fixes, but overall, the opposite seems to be the case. Google Play it rained in the last days 1 and 2 star reviews for Kindle for Android, which basically stands actually quite solid (4.1 / 5 stars on 413,000 reviews). A user freezes constantly since the update the screen; another states that it can take up to 20 attempts to even get into the app (which then also constantly crashes), and so on. The new shop integration and push advertising Amazon for its flat-rate service Unlimited come to terms. An update to the update, at least to eliminate the bugs will certainly not be long in coming
