Kindle for iOS Updated With iPad Pro, Digital Magazine Support
Summary
Amazon today updated its iOS reading app, Kindle, adding support for the iPad Pro and for interactive magazines for first time. This isn’t some new giant step towards interactive magazines for Kindle generally, that has existed for a while now, but this adds this for the iPad. The update is a bit of an admission that with the demise of the Newsstand, and Apple’s continue lack of support for publishers within the new Magazines & Newspapers category (where the subcategories are even more broken in 2016 than they were in 2015), many magazine readers may shift from buying their periodicals from Apple and more to the other digital newsstands. With this move Amazon may be able to legitimately argue that magazine publishers would be better off thinking Amazon first, then Apple second or third (depending what Google does in the future to boost the fortunes of digital magazine publishers). Here is the update information for the iOS Kindle app: Interactive Magazines for iPad Interactive magazines on iPad support rich content controls such as slideshows, audio and videos for select US titles.iPad Pro Support Support for native scale resolution on iPad Pro.Flashcards, notebook export, and improved notebook filtering available on more textbooks Flashcards, Notebook Export to email, and richer notebook filtering (including chapter-based filtering) have been expanded to nearly all textbooks (and many non-textbooks as well).
