Amazon fairly regularly updates his ebook readers. Yesterday I spent the next version of the software, which is not limited to cosmetics. The changes are visible at almost every step.
Software numbered 5.7.2 goes to the reader the Kindle 7, Paperwhite II and III and Voyage. This time, Amazon has focused primarily on the visual and refined in many places the interface in their devices. This is already visible on the main page, which was rebuilt in such a way as to display a more content related to the store and a social platform Goodreads.
And it is not necessarily good news … unfortunately. Now, after updating the section “My Library” on the main screen it takes approx. One third of the space. Let’s see here three covers: big referring to the last reading and two smaller ones. The rest are recommendations from the shop Amazon (were here before), as well as our list of items to read from Goodreads. If intensive use of the service, and at the same time we shop regularly on Amazon.com and read English books, new home screen should accrue to our taste. Otherwise it will be a real nightmare. Fortunately, we have the ability to disable it in the settings of the reader. Just go to the section personalization, and from there jump to the “Advanced Options” and tick “Home Screen View ‘. Phew …
This change is not the end. New products introduced also on the list screen display books. First of all refined sorting – instead of the “Cloud” and “On Device” we now have “All” and “Downloaded”. It looks more intuitive, but in practice does not change absolutely anything. The difference does however list format, which disappeared marking the length of the positions. This is a big minus. Instead, the icon appeared impressive settings screen on the books. Other innovations include mainly lifting – changed location a few settings modified Selected subtitle menu, etc.
A very practical new feature is the expansion of the panel, which has allowed us only to adjust the backlight (this applies, of course, models not fitted). Light bulb on the top bar was replaced by sunshine. After touching see a slightly modified brightness slider, and just above it three invaluable icons: airplane mode, synchronization and settings. No longer do we have to go to the screen with options to enable or disable WiFi or force synchronization. Here, the change must be assessed definitely a plus.
Amazon has modified other sections. When customizing the appearance of text now see another window with the options divided into several tabs. Here disposal also get a new font opendyslexic mainly dedicated to people suffering from dyslexia. Added a simpler panel of sharing quotes from books on social networking sites and slightly refreshed the other sections (mainly lifting).
The update should be available to your readers. If you still have not received it, you can look at Amazon’s official website, download the file by hand and toss the kabelku to the root of the reader. Then just only force an update in the settings. I Paperwhite’a I treated her that way – everything went perfectly.
