Page numbers will also be available on our free "Buy Once, Read Everywhere" Kindle apps in the coming months.Īs part of the Kindle update, Amazon will be adding a few other new features to the latest-generation Kindle and Kindle 3G (owners of the older Kindle 1 and 2 or Kindle DX aren't eligible to get the update): We've already added real page numbers to tens of thousands of Kindle books, including the top 100 bestselling books in the Kindle Store that have matching print editions and thousands more of the most popular books. Rather than add page numbers that don't correspond to print books, which is how page numbers have been added to e-books in the past, we're adding real page numbers that correspond directly to a book's print edition. Our customers have told us they want real page numbers that match the page numbers in print books so they can easily reference and cite passages, and read alongside others in a book club or class. In a blog post previewing the update (version 3.1), Amazon writes: The Kindle app in iOS has a number of different ways that you can get a better sense of where you are at. For instance 17 of the way through a 356 page book doesn’t mean a lot to me right away. Well, now Amazon has made a change.Īs part of an upcoming update to the Kindle, Amazon is adding "real" page numbers to its e-books. Kindle is great at showing the percentage of where you are at in a book but that doesn’t always translate well. Last week, we wrote a story asking whether Amazon should change how the Kindle's pages are numbered and close to half of CNET readers who responded said it should. Amazon's page-numbering scheme will now include a corresponding 'real' element to it.
