Online books retailer Amazon.com, Inc., US, has announced that Kindle for Android, the free application that lets readers worldwide enjoy Kindle books on their Android-powered devices, now includes a number of new features.
With the latest update, Kindle for Android now enables customers to search the full text of Kindle books by voice or text, seamlessly look up words and phrases in Wikipedia, lock screen orientation in portrait or landscape mode, and view details about a book on Shelfari, the books-focused social networking site - all without leaving the app.
