Amazon on February 7 released a preview version of a Kindle software update that puts electronic book readers on the same page with friends still clinging to ink and paper works. Page numbers in tens of thousands of Kindle digital books, including best-sellers, have been matched with those in real-world copies of the titles.
The update will also allow for more conceptual versions of being on the same page by letting readers share book notes or thoughts about titles online with select circles or the overall "Kindle community."
Amazon is also upgrading the Kindle layout for digital magazines and newspapers. An "early preview release" of the Kindle software was available on Monday at Amazon.com. A final version will be sent as an automatic update to Kindles when it is available.
