Kindle for iPhone version 1.1 released
The free Kindle app for iPhone and iPod Touch has been upgraded to Version 1.1, and offers some significant improvements.
As before, the app lets you read Kindle books on iPhone or iPod Touch. If you have one of these devices as well as a Kindle, the Whispersync feature keeps track of your last page read as you switch from one device to another.
New with Version 1.1:
- Rotate the device to read from either landscape mode or in portrait.
- Switch from three color schemes (white on black, black on white, and sepia – shown below).
- Turn pages by tapping near the edge of the screen.
- Zoom in on images with the multi-touch motion of stretching or squeezing the images.
Also, you can now buy new Kindle ebooks from your iPhone or iPod Touch – the “Get Books” button opens up a Safari window with Amazon’s Kindle Store.
