Kindle introduces 'page flip' tool

Amazon has introduced a new tool for Kindles which will allow readers to flip back and forth between pages easily.

The tool, called Page Flip, is a “reimagined Kindle navigation experience” that “makes it easy to explore books while always saving your place,” Amazon said.

It is designed to help customers reference different parts of a book while they read and will be available to Kindle users as a free over-the-air upgrade on e-readers, tablets and on the Kindle app from today (28th June).

Chuck Moore, vice president of Kindle, said: “With Page Flip, we’ve taken inspiration from how people read print books and improved upon it.”  

The tool follows on the back of other recent Kindle services including Audible narration for audiobooks, enhanced typesetting and allowing customers to share or recommend a book from their device.
