Kindle for iOS updated Amazon has just released a new version of Kindle, their popular eBook reader/store app for iOS. New features of the app include: real page numbers for thousands of books so you can make proper citations in the classroom or follow along with people reading print books in a book club (no more feeling left out just because you have an eBook and everyone around you doesn’t), a progress meter to let you know how far you are in the book that you are currently reading, the homescreen also shows your current progress on your books on the iPhone (list view for the iPad), and you can look up words on Google or Wikipedia without having to leave the app – a much needed solution for those books with archaic phrases and flowery words, now knowing their true meanings is only a tap away. Head over to the iTunes App Store to download the latest version of Kindle for iOS now.

Amazon: Amazon.com is an American multinational e-commerce company with headquarters in Seattle, Washington, United States. It is the world's largest online retailer. The company also produces its own consumer electronics, notably the Amazon Kindle e-book reader, and is a major provider of cloud computing services with its Amazon AWS service.

iOS: was once upon a time called iPhone OS, or "operating system", which is the software that provides all the basic device functionality and is the interface between the hardware and applications. iOS was introduced with the iPhone on January 9 2007, and it was originally not intended to be programmable by third parties. Steve Jobs had envisioned that developers could create Web Apps that would run in the browser. This changed less than one year after when the iPhone SDK (software development kit) was introduced in October 2007. Today, hundreds of thousands of apps have been created for this platform. iPhone OS became iOS on June 2010. Interestingly, both iPhone and iOS were former trademarks of Cisco, that Apple now uses under a license.

iPhone: iPhone: The iPhone is Apple's line of smartphones. That was also the original name of the first iPhone, which was announced on January 9th 2007 by Steve Jobs during the Macworld Keynote. The iPhone was released to the public in June of the same year. The development of the iPhone started in 2004, was internally called "project purple" and was the fruit of a collaboration between Apple and AT&T. Since then, Apple has released new iPhone models every year, with the iPhone 3G in July 2008, the iPhone 3GS in June 2009, the iPhone 4 in June 2010, the iPhone 4S in October 2011 and the iPhone 5 in September 2012. The iPhone represented more than half of Apple's revenues in 2012.
