Kindle app for iPhone updated
Amazon's Kindle app for iPhone [App Store link] was updated this week to include, among other things, landscape mode! Hooray! Additionally, you can change the color of both the text and the background. I like the "Sepia" option; it's similar to the way Classics looks. Finally, you can turn pages by tapping on either side of the screen (I still prefer to swipe). You'll remember that the Kindle store for iPhone is still only accessible via Mobile Safari, and was optimized a few weeks ago.
Kindle for iPhone was introduced in March of this year and has been popular since.

Great! Now if they would only allow international users to get the app or even purchase books like eReader or Stanza.

May 20 2009 at 7:46 PM Report abuse Permalink rate up rate down ReplyI am glad the app has been updated for those that wanted new features, and in that, I am very glad that there is an option to lock the orientation. I won't ever use landscape mode, and I don't want my screen switching back and forth if I am laying down at a weird angle.
However, I have submitted feedback because this lock option is not persistent, and I would really like an option to turn off the new tap to turn pages option.
Apparently it's "similar to the way Classics looks," but no mention of the fact that Amazon bought a whole company in order to gain those new features.
Huh.

(I'm aware you wrote itâ¦I just found it odd that you didn't tie it together)
I love the new version, especially with the Stanza stuff added. The one thing I was really hoping for was the swipe up/down to change the brightness, and that didn't make it, but the rest of the features came over nicely. Hopefully they'll bring in the swipe for brightness in the next version.
