The Kindle for iPhone (also for iPod Touch and iPad) app has been updated with version 2.6 with the following new features:
- Real page numbers for thousands of books in the Kindle Store. Now you can make proper citations in the classroom or follow along with people reading print books in a book club.
- View your percentage completed while reading [new for iPhone/iPod Touch].
- Home screen now shows your progress through books in list view.
- Look up words on Google and Wikipedia without leaving the app.
- Instant word lookup on included dictionary with 250,000 entries and definitions
You can see full details and download the new update by clicking the top image at the Kindle for iPhone/iPod Touch app page. You'll get the same info at the Kindle for iPad app page except that it doesn't include "View your percentage completed while reading" as a new feature for the iPad (it may have been included before).
Thanks to Golf11 (Randall) again for the alert Sunday.

NOTE: TO AVOID SPAM being posted instantly, this blog uses the blogger.com "DELAY" feature.
Am often away much of the day, and postings won't show up right away. Posts done to use referrer-links may never show up.
Usually, am online enough to release comments within a day though, so the hard-to-read match-text tests for commenting won't be needed this way.
Feedback and questions are welcome. Thanks for participating.
Technical Problems?
If you're having problems leaving a Comment, Google's blogger-help asks that you clear the 'blogger.com' cookies on your browser's Tools or Options menu bar and that will fix the Comment-box problems (until they have a permanent fix).
IF that doesn't work either, then UNcheck the "keep me signed in" box -- Google-help says that should allow your comment to post (it's a workaround to a current bug).
Apologies for the problems.
TIP: There's a size limit. If longer than 3500 characters or so, in a text editor, make two posts out of it.
