Remember, Kindle will sync these notes and highlights to all of your computers or devices via WhisperSync, which is very handy! If you choose to add a note, the Notes & Marks sidebar will open so you can enter anything you want. Highlighting looks just like you would expect (though maybe they should make the highlight less straight to look more like my real-world highlighting!). To make a note or highlight text, just select the text and a context menu automatically pops up. First off, Kindle tells us that we can now add notes and highlights directly from Kindle for PC! This is the biggest features Kindle for PC was missing up till now, so it is a very nice addition. Here I’ve opened Linchpin by Seth Godin, the latest ebook I’ve been reading (very good reading/ideas, by the way!). So let’s dive into a book to see the new features. On the front screen, most of the menu items are grayed out since they’re book-related features (another reason why modern, context-centric menus would be nicer … but I digress). Hopefully they’ll adopt a more modern UI instead of the File menu with future versions, but one thing we can be excited about is that they expanded the menu to contain more features. This is an unfortunate design decision previously Kindle had a consolidated menu on the right of the top toolbar similar to IE8. Most noticeable is the old-style File menu at the top of the window. The latest version of Kindle for PC has several changes, so let’s explore them quickly. Welcome to your updated Kindle for PC! Notice the changes? Next time you open Kindle, it will automatically install the update without requiring you to click or select anything.Īfter the update installs, you’ll be asked to accept the license agreement. Just open Kindle for PC while you’re connected to the internet, though, and the latest version should automatically download. Kindle for PC was released as a beta shortly after Windows 7’s launch last fall, so if you installed it when it first came out you may still be running the older version. Kindle by default automatically downloads updates and installs them, so you’ll usually have the latest version of Kindle for PC installed. Here’s what the newest update brings to Kindle for PC I use my netbook as an ebook reader, and with all the ebook programs I’ve tried I still prefer the Kindle app. The Kindle Store offers more new ebooks than most other ebook stores, and the terms usually allow you to keep books on up to 5 computers and devices. Kindle for PC is one of my favorite new programs for Windows, and a recent update made it even better. Make Your PC a (nicer) Kindle | Techinch tech, simplified.
