Software numbered 5.7.2 goes to Kindle readers 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 home page, which was rebuilt in such a way as to display a more content associated with a shop and a social platform Goodreads.
And it is not necessarily good news … unfortunately. Now, after updating the section “My Library” on the main screen is approx. One third of the space. Let’s see here three covers: large relating to the last reading and two smaller ones. The rest are recommendations from the shop Amazon (were here earlier), as well as our list of items to read from Goodreads. If intensive use of the site, and while we do regularly shopping on Amazon.com and read English books, the new 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 enter the personalization section, and from there jump to the “Advanced Options” and tick “Home Screen View”. Phew …
this change is not the end. News also introduced 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 nothing. The difference does however list format, which disappeared mark with a length of the data item. This is a big minus. Instead, it appeared the icon causing the screen settings for the books. Other news is mostly 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 backlighting (this applies, of course, the models not equipped). Light bulb on the top bar was replaced with sunshine. After touching see 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 and disable WiFi or force synchronization. Here, the change must be assessed definitely a plus.
Amazon also improved other sections. When customizing the appearance of text now see another window in which the options were divided into several tabs. Here disposal we also get a new font opendyslexic mainly dedicated to people suffering from dyslexia. Added a simpler panel sharing quotes from books on social networking sites and slightly refreshed the remaining sections (mainly lifting).
The update should be available to your readers. If you still have not received it, you can look at the official website Amazon, 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 am your Paperwhite’a I treated this way – everything went perfectly.
