Amazon has again released an update for its devices. In this case we are talking about update 5.8.2 for all Amazon eReaders. This update notably improves the tables of contents of the ebooks and the management by the eReaders.
In recent months and in the near future, the tables of contents They will play a very important role in the Amazon ebook market, so it is not surprising that in this or future updates we are aware of changes in the tables of contents.
With the 5.8.2 update, Amazon inserts optimized tables of contents, with more optimized rows and improved column spacing for viewing and managing the eReader. But tables of contents play a bigger role As I have said before, since Amazon's interest currently goes through paying the authors based on the pages that the reader has read and for this, the tables of contents that serve as a control are needed to indicate to Amazon if it has been read not the eReader, if we have turned the pages to turn or have simply read the ebook in question carefully, and then pay the author accordingly.
But you also have to be honest and I recognize that improving the tables of contents in an ebook is something very practical for the reader, especially to return to the ebook and go to a specific text or a specific part of the ebook. And on this, Amazon is working hard or so it seems. The 5.8.2 update will appear in all Amazon eReaders and will gradually appear in eReaders although in the Amazon website the update package is now available to do it in a manual way.
Usually I recommend updating the eReader to its latest version, but if the only news is the table of contents, it may be best to wait for the next update Do not you think?
