I have very good news for owners of Kindle readers Paperwhite 2 upwards – new update makes it even better. For owners of older readers, unfortunately I have some bad news – you will not get the latest update.
Update Amazon Kindle Update 5.7.2 is available to readers Paperwhite Kindle 2, the Kindle Paperwhite 3, Kindle and Kindle Voyage Basic. Typically, software updates readers are not something that should devote a lot of attention – just a new font and some minor improvements. However, the most recent amendment of Amazon is the biggest change in the reader the Kindle for years, let us look, therefore, what has changed.
Update Kindle completely changes the appearance of the main screen.
The thing that strikes the eye most after installing the update, is completely refreshed UI main screen and the upper beam. The latter is much more slender, the logo Goodreads finally a bit shrunk, and where it was previously adjust the backlight, now find menu for quick access to basic settings (airplane mode, synchronization, all settings) and changed visually adjustment bar backlight.
Home Screen to now display a list of books owned by us, and below recommendations and bestsellers from Amazon store. These are still present at the bottom (although you can turn them off in the settings), but now the main part of the screen cover 3 recently read a book on the left, and a list of the books “to read” based on our list at Goodreads.
To date recommendations, which the reader show us at the bottom of the main screen are based on our previous purchases. Amazon now introduces a highly personalized recommendation system that “learns” our liking. The more we read and evaluate books, the more accurate the recommendations will appear on the reader.
Going to the library you will see that it has changed very little, basically the only significant change is the change “Cover view” on the “Grid View “. The rest of segregation and display options remained the same.
Curious, very modern addition is waiting for us while reading books – now in a simple way we can share quote on Twitter, Goodreads, or Facebook, making it available directly from Kindle. However, from what I can see, this option will display correctly only in the case of e-books bought directly from Amazon.
The other changes are purely cosmetic, and one very important facility.
The Kindle is finally becoming They are friendly to people diagnosed with dyslexia, through the new font – opendyslexic, which also supports Polish characters and will certainly make people dyslexic reading books on an e-reader. The following comparison of font Bookerly of opendyslexic:
In addition, only changed the selection menu layout. However, these are purely cosmetic changes, and all this, most importantly, it basically changes to the main screen and add a new typeface.
Compared to update that serve us producers of smartphones, this update Kindle It may seem small, but in practice it’s very big change. Large enough that Amazon has prepared a separate sub, which can be closer to familiarize yourself with all the changes.
It is a pity that so few readers załapało to update. But I’m not surprised. E-book reader is a device that is aging very slowly, so users do not feel the need for frequent replacement.
And even though we, consumers may not like it, that Amazon must somehow encourage owners of old Kindli for migrating to the new model. So rich update reserved only for newer models is as good a way as any.
