Amazon announces new features on Kindle for Android app -

Online books retailer Amazon.com, Inc., US, has announced that Kindle for Android is the first Kindle app to receive an update that enables users to buy, read, and sync over 100 Kindle newspapers and magazines. Kindle for Android users can now buy a single issue or subscribe to the most popular newspapers and magazines, have them automatically delivered to their Android-powered device, and enjoy a full colour reading experience optimised for the touch interface of Android-powered devices.

Additional new features include the ability to seamlessly buy and download Kindle books and periodicals within the Kindle for Android app, share reading progress via social networks, and zoom closer to images and other graphics. The addition of an in-app store optimised for the Android interface enables customers to discover, buy, and download over 750,000 Kindle books without leaving the app. Also, a social network integration allows customers to share their progress in a book using Google's built-in Share functionality.

Kindle for Android claims to be the first major e-book app to offer periodicals on the Android platform. While the new Kindle for Android app is available from Android Market, customers who have already downloaded Kindle for Android will receive the update automatically.
