Device owners will be especially happy to learn that the page numbers in tens of thousands of e-books now match the page numbers in their respective print editions, a feature that will be especially useful to academics and students who need to quickly reference and cite passages.
Page numbers will be coming to Kindle's mobile apps "in the coming months," a spokesperson said.
Additional features include:
New newspaper and magazine layouts: The layouts of newspapers and magazines have been reformatted for quicker discovery and navigation, Amazon claims. (Note: We have not yet personally tested this feature.)
Public Notes: Users can now opt to automatically share their book notes and highlights with their personal network and other Kindle readers.
Before You Go: At the end of each book, users will be prompted to rate it in the Kindle Store, as well as share their thoughts to their social networks and see recommendations for further reads. It's not a feature that will be particularly useful for users, per se, but should help Amazon sell a few more e-books.
