Goodreads vs Kindle in our news:
2020. Kindle for Android now allows permanently delete ebooks
Amazon has added function to delete Kindle books right from your Android smartphone and tablet. This will allow you to completely delete ebooks that you no longer want on your device, or sampes you downloaded years ago. All you need to do is visit your library and long press on the cover art and it will give you a confirmation if you want to remove it or not. The update also allows you to filter your books by Family Library titles, as well as sync your reading across devices in both Page Flip View and Continuous Scrolling.
2014. Kindle app allows instantly upgrade text book to audiobook
Sometimes you want to read and sometimes you want to listen. Amazon Kindle apps now allow you to switch to the Audible version with a single tap, provided you’ve paid for the audio upgrade of the book you’re reading. The audio upgrades start at $0.99 per title, but can go up to around $3.99 or more for popular titles like “The Hunger Games.” Keep in mind that you’ve already bought the Kindle versions of these books, so it’s possible you’ll effectively be paying twice for the same content, although in most cases the Audible upgrade is considerably cheaper. It’s a clever way for Amazon to generate additional revenue from existing purchases, but it’s also genuinely useful for individuals with a mixed commute or busy schedules who want to continue “reading” even when they can’t physically do so.
