Amazon has updated Kindles with a new way of navigating books. While nothing will resume the touch pleasure of the physical page shooting buttons, anyone with a Kindle in progress Version 5.18.1 Amazon software will now be able to double the side or back of their electronic reader to turn the pages.
"Double press the Tourne page" Can be activated in the settings menu under device options. Amazon says it works for more than turning the pages. You can also use double taps to scroll through your home and library pages. Interestingly, the option does not use the touch screen at all. Good e-misery speculation Amazon relies on the accelerometer inside the Kindles to detect the taps.
With the update, Amazon also adds a feature he calls "Recaps for books in series." These are short summaries "For thousands of Kindle Successful Kindle books in series, you have bought or borrowed." The company already does things like group books in the same series to make them easier to find, but that should avoid you consult a summary of A dance with dragons Before diving into Winter winds – Assuming that he was never released.
Update 5.18.1 now deploys more recent Kindles, such as Kindle Colordeft, and devices as old as the Kindle and Kindle Paperwhite of 10th generation. It will also be available on the last of Amazon electronic readers to have physical buttons, the Kindle Oasis. If you don’t see it on your device now, you can manually download the update of the Amazon website And install it yourself.
