Lickety-split, Amazon has released an improved Kindle iPhone app to steal a little thunder from B&N’s just-unveiled Nook, which offers synching capabilities with other devices.
A message in Kindle for iPhone 1.2, also for Apple’s iPod Touch, says:
“With Kindle for iPhone 1.2, you can now tap and hold a word to create a note or highlight. Whispersync will back up and synchronize annotations with your Kindle device.”
The update also will recall, from session to session, whether you last used the iPhone app in landscape or portrait mode.
Is this the new Kindle 2 that just came out or new one that is coming out?
And still not available on the Australian iTunes store – which doesn’t make sense given that the Kindle is now international. Except for Canada, which we all know is part of the US :-).
Hi,Euna–the syncing should work with all existing Kindles and any new one coming out. The iPhone app of course lets iPhones and Touches read Kindle books.
Thanks,
David
