Amazon’sfree Kindle for iOS apphas received a refresh this morning. Bumped to version 4.7, it lets students access Kindle eTextbooks from their iPhone and filter their notes by chapter for easy studying, thanks to an enhanced Notebook feature.
Book Browser, another new feature created with iPhone owners in mind, lets you tap on a book cover to reveal additional information like the book description and customer reviews.
And if you’re a comics fan, browsing your favorite comic book is now a lot easier thanks to the new table of contents, accessible from the left panel navigation menu.
The table of contents lists chapter headings and page numbers. Amazon cautions that “most”, but not all, comic books have table of contents implemented in the Kindle app.
