07.08.25. Amazon added and then removed Assistive Reader from Kindle eReaders
Amazon has released a new software update for its 11th and 12th generation Kindle e-readers, which introduced Assistive Reader - function which helps visually impaired people listen to books instead of reading them. It was previously released in Kindle app for iOS and used standard AI-powered voice in English, Spanish, French, German and Italian. Along with reading aloud, each word is highlighted on the screen. For users with low vision, Kindle also had a new way to zoom in on all UI elements, including menus and text. Of course, to listen to the voice on the eInc Kindle, you need to connect Bluetooth headphones. However, it was only available only for a couple of days before Amazon removed it. They disabled the feature remotely from Amazon's servers. Perhaps they found some bugs.
2025. Kindle now sorts by author first and last name
Amazon has launched the 5.18.2 firmware update for most modern Kindle e-readers (for the 12th and 11th generation). The main update is in the users’ library, where all their e-books are stored.

You can also save your customization preferences for quick access.
2025. Kindle’s new AI feature generates recaps for books in a series
Amazon has introduced a new “Recaps” feature for Kindle users. This marvelous innovation allows forgetful bibliophiles to refresh their memory on crucial plot points and character arcs before diving into the next book in a series—because who has time for rereading when there’s so much more to forget? Currently available to Kindle users in the United States, the feature delivers bite-sized summaries for thousands of best-selling English-language series, ensuring that you no longer have to pretend you remember who that one guy was and why he had a mysterious tattoo. Plans are underway to bring this groundbreaking service to Kindle app for iOS, just as soon as Amazon is sure that iOS users also have memory issues. To access these handy recaps, one must be running the latest Kindle software, locate the elusive “View Recaps” button in their Kindle Library, and—before being granted the sacred knowledge—bravely acknowledge that, yes, spoilers lie ahead. Once past this solemn warning, enlightenment is but a click away.
