What else launched recently for Kindle readers?

For fans of book series, recalling plots and characters after a long reading break or a wait between new releases can be a challenge. Kindle's "Recaps" feature works much like the "Previously on…" segment before a TV show. Available on both Kindle devices and the Kindle app for iOS in the U.S., Recaps makes it easier for you to dive into the next book in your favorite series by providing a quick refresher on storylines and character arcs in Kindle books you own or have borrowed.

Amazon introduces Kindle Translate, an AI-powered translation service for authors to reach global readers

The service translates between English and Spanish, and from German to English, expanding opportunities for Kindle Direct Publishing authors.

To access a full book recap for supported Kindle books in series, look for the "View Recaps" button in the series page in your Kindle Library. On Kindle devices, you can select "View Recaps" from the three-dot menu within the series grouping, while on the Kindle iOS app, this same option appears when you press and hold the series grouping.
