@Dyvim

All these new features were in the Stanza reader.

It seems that Amazon is coping the Stanza product and pasting them into Kindle, now that they have purchased Stanza.

So the Kindle UI features you claim to love are actually the Stanza features.

The next step will be the disappearance of Stanza all together, because it offers too many ways to get free or private content onto your phone without going thru Amazon.

@4,@8 No one says you can’t have multiple readers on your phone. Kindle has its place as do the others. I’ve only purchased 1 Kindle book (a recent thriller), the rest are all free classics (search Amazon for Kindle books and do a low-high price sort). Sure I could probably dig up the same classics for Stanza or eReader, but it’s pretty easy to find and download them on Amazon and I’m actually digging the Kindle UI.

Until Amazon allows you to get your personal content into Kindle, I’ll stick with eReader, thank you very much.

This is a great app and I am looking forward to using the newer features on my upcoming trip.

I checked the App Store on my iPhone and it said all apps were up to date even though I checked my version of Kindle and it said 1.0.

You might need to search for it in the App Store and download it again which will prompt the 1.1 changes download. (Weird)

One of my favorite apps! Currently reading DA VINCI CODE and looking to tackle ANGELS AND DEMONS afterwards.

Stanza's a fine app too but I can't seem to find more "current" titles in it's library.

Stanza is pound for pound a way better application than Kindle and it doesn’t require you to download books from Amazon. With Stanza desktop, you can upload any book you want to as long as it’s in txt or pub form! And they had landscaped mode way before Kindle even considered it!

@DYVIM I love the ability to lock it in landscape mode I wish that could be a system wide feature.

Very nice upgrade. Love the white text with black background option. Great for reading in the dark.

And you can lock it in your preferred orientation by tapping on a lock/unlock icon in the lower right corner. It even does upside down portrait mode. All in all, a very nice little update- I certainly appreciate it.
