Here are the latest news about Kindle:
08.09.25. Amazon added Recaps in Kindle for IOS
For fans of book series, remembering plots and characters after a long break from reading between new releases can be challenging. The new Recaps feature in Kindle works a bit like the “Previously…” section at the start of a new series episode. The feature was previously available on Kindle devices and is now available in Kindle app for iOS. It includes thousands of new bestselling books for now only in English. To see if a series has Recaps, look for the “View Recaps” button on the series page in your Kindle library. On Kindle devices, you can select “View Recaps” from the three-dot menu in the series group.
2025. Kindle app has lost the ability to view shelves on Goodreads
Amazon has updated its Kindle app and creating or viewing (Amazon owned) Goodreads shelves is now unavailable. The only way to view them is to visit the Goodreads website. For now this only affects Kindle app for iOS; Kindle app for Android hasn’t had the shelf feature for a while. Looks like Goodreads wants people to use their official app instead of Kindle app. The main reason for this is to target recommendations for the books you have read; Goodreads earns a commission whenever someone purchases a book from their website. They also can better track users’ activities. Kindle e-reader still has complete Goodreads integration, which will not change for long. You can continue viewing and creating custom shelves on any e-readers.
2025. Amazon is re-making Send to Kindle
Amazon has decided to give its beloved Send to Kindle system a rather stern talking-to. From now on, only fully-dressed, respectable email addresses (like “kindlecustomer@xyz.com”) will be allowed through the door, while scruffy, half-baked addresses (such as “@xyz.com”) will be left shivering outside in the cold digital rain. This, they assure us, is to ensure only pre-approved, non-nefarious and presumably very polite senders can lob documents at your Kindle. Anything from an uninvited sender will vanish into the electronic abyss, accompanied by a sorrowful "send failure" email, which is the internet’s equivalent of a sad trombone noise. Ordinary users, blissfully unaware of the drama, will continue merrily forwarding PDFs to their Kindle Scribes and e-books to their e-readers, none the wiser.
