Avid readers on Android have some exciting new toys to look forward to in the latest version of the Amazon Kindle. Update 4.8 Adds some significant features to an already-packed app Specifically linked to in-book search. “X-Ray” is a proprietary system That downloads a pre-configured, collated file That includes information about the book itself, the characters, the setting, and the context of Basically everything. For complex fiction, non-fiction, or textbooks, it’s an amazing system Previously reserved for the Kindle e-readers and tablets.
What’s even more amazing Is that it hydrothermal offline. Like the Kindle’s dictionary function, X-Ray is downloaded and stored The locally. Unfortunately, it is not for everything: while the X-Ray is available for the massively popular A Dance With Dragons , It Is not available for the independently published A Crooked City (by our own Ryan Whitwam). To activate the X-Ray, just tap the center of the reading screen to pull up the menu, then tap the “X” icon in the top menu bar.
Students reading text books in the Kindle app can now create flashcards based on the content Of Those books. These Are unfortunately limited to textbooks, and apparently even Those are limited – I could not activate the feature on a photography manual I own, for example. Those of you who prefer audio books and who’ll have taken advantage of the “add narration” option (Which bundles an Audible audiobook with a standard Kindle book purchase) can now play the audiobook starting on your current “paper” Book page, switching between the text and audio Whenever you like.
Notifications for the Kindle app now include bothering content downloads and promotional deals from Amazon, both of Which can be disabled in the settings menu. The app overpriced, enjoying an “Improved library search,” though Exactly what HAS BEEN Improved was not elaborated. The usual bug fixes are tacked on to the end of the update.
