Amazon Kindle’s latest update is making it easier for its users to socialize with their friends about their favorite books and quotes. This new update will be utilizing mobile messaging apps such as Facebook Messenger, texting, WhatsApp and more.
PRIVATE MESSAGING IS THE PREFERRED WAY OF COMMUNICATION
This change is in response to private messaging and sharing being the most popular way of connecting with friends, in comparison to larger, more public platforms like Twitter and Facebook.
Over the past few months, Kindle has made a huge impact on the e-book industry. It has been widely known as one of the first choices for readers. A lot of this has been credited to Amazon’s investment in the app and its frequent updates.
MAKES FOR BETTER CONVERSATION
This will be the first time that Amazon is allowing readers to share information via messaging apps. The most recent updates include an option for users to converse with their family and friends about their favorite books through a messaging app.
The new ability to share quotes makes sense for a lot of Kindle e-book readers. As book clubs grow, you can take advantage of the private sharing option to get more in-depth conversations going around the current book.
MAKES SUGGESTING BOOKS MORE PERSONAL
Users can also share their book recommendations with their friends by messaging, in contrast to just posting a status on Facebook to everyone. This makes book sharing more personal instead of being so widely seen.
This sharing feature was previously available for quote sharing, conversations and recommendations on the larger social media sites such as Facebook and Twitter only. It has definitely been narrowed down to allowing you to share only with the ones you want to share with. The perfect quote for certain friends isn’t always the perfect quote for everyone on your social network.
If a user receives a recommendation from a Kindle owner, he or she can start reading a preview of the book on their mobile devices or desktop. It is not going to be required that you have Kindle app or Amazon account.
This update will be released on the Kindle app first and then on the Kindle reader, as well as on other devices later this year.
