Here are the latest news about Kindle:
20.04.26. Amazon to discontinue Kindle for PC
Amazon will officially discontinue support for the current Kindle desktop app on June 30th, but will release a "new and improved" Kindle app for Windows 11 later this month, available in the Microsoft Store. This will allow you to still access your Kindle library from Windows computers. For most users, this will be a minor inconvenience, requiring the installation and setup of a different app. If you still have unsaved Kindle ebooks, now is the time to do so before Kindle desktop app is discontinued. The new version will likely include security improvements that will block existing DRM removal methods.
2026. Send to Kindle disappeared from Microsoft Word
Microsoft will remove the ability to send documents directly from Microsoft Word to Kindle devices after February 9, 2026. This feature was introduced less than three years ago and was heavily advertised by Amazon, but now Microsoft has decided to discontinue it, likely because it is rarely used. Now, Microsoft Word users will have to revert to sending Word documents to Kindle the old way—via the Amazon website, the Send to Kindle app or email.
2025. Kindle app gets AI that answers questions about a book you are reading
Amazon has added a new AI-powered feature "Ask This Book" to Kindle app for iOS. It lets you ask questions about the book you're currently reading. To try it out, simply highlight a word or phrase to open the on-screen menu and select "Ask a Question." By default, answers will only be provided up to the point you're reading, so they won't contain spoilers, but you can switch to provide answers for the entire book. You can also view a chat history of all the questions you've asked. It's expected to launch on Kindle e-readers and Kindle app for Android in 2026.
