- Typography — Drop caps, hyphenation, smoother word spacing, kerning and ligatures.
- Layout features — Higher-quality images, font alignment and table formatting.
- Reading experience — Page-Flip to navigate within a book while reading and progressive download, so customers can start reading a book while it is still downloading.
Amazon also added the ability to return ebooks from Kindle Unlimited and Prime reading. A book can be returned by long pressing on a book cover from the bookshelf interface and choosing the “Return book” option.
