Amazon has introduced a tremendous new feature for people who read many books on their Kindle e-reader. Kindle Recaps are reminiscent of television shows that summarize what transpired in a previous episode. However, Recap primarily focuses on book series, with numerous published books.
The Recaps feature adds a new level of convenience to series reading. It enables readers to dive deeper into complex worlds and characters without losing the joy of discovery, all while ensuring an uninterrupted reading experience across every genre. From epic fantasy series to mystery thrillers, Amazon’s digital book series offer something for every reader, including trending titles and longtime favorites.
Customers can begin accessing Recaps by downloading the latest software. Otherwise, they will receive the latest software via over-the-air update within several weeks. To determine whether a series has Recaps available, look for the “View Recaps” button on the series page in your Kindle Library or the “View Recaps” item within the series grouping three-dot menu.
We use technology, including GenAI and Amazon moderators, to create short recaps of books that accurately reflect book content,” Amazon spokesperson Ale Iraheta told the publication. Iraheta assured TechCrunch that Amazon’s recaps are accurate, but of course, use it at your own risk.
