The Kindle Fire has been the best-selling tablet in Amazon’s history, and the company is planning to keep that trend going with a new interface that will be available on all devices. Called Kindle Direct Publishing, this new system will allow authors to create and publish their books directly to Kindle readers without having to go through traditional publishers. The new interface is designed for quick and easy reading, and it will also include features like bookmarks, notes, and highlights so you can keep track of your reading progress. It’s an exciting development for eBooks, and it looks like the Kindle Fire will continue to be one of the most popular tablets on the market.
What’s New on Kindle eReaders?
The new Kindle eReaders interface isn’t exactly rewriting the book on navigation. However, it looks a bit more streamlined and modern than the previous interface, which was released in 2016.
The Home and Library sections are getting a refresh with new filter and sort menus, a new collections view, and an interactive scroll bar. There’s also an option to swipe to the left to get access to 20 recently read books.
The update is coming to 8th Gen and above Kindle eReaders, 7th Gen and above Kindle Paperwhite devices, and Kindle Oasis hardware. If you own an older Kindle, you’ll have to stick with the previous interface.
How to Update Your Kindle
