Amazon終於發表支援Kindle Touch橫向閱讀的更新了!

在看過594079兄的"Kindle Touch 相關介紹總整理 2012"一文後,入手了Kindle Touch,整體使用起來真的蠻不錯的,可惜的是官方一直沒有支援橫向閱讀的功能,今天無意間在Amazon上逛了一下,發現最新的5.1.0版有支援橫向閱讀,這樣一來就不需要再JB就可以使用我最想要的功能了.以下是此次更新的內容,擷錄於"Kindle Touch Software Update Version 5.1.0":
New features in this update include:

Language Support: Customize your Kindle Touch with the language you prefer: English (US and UK), German, French, Spanish, Italian, or Brazilian Portuguese.
Landscape Mode: Switch between portrait and landscape orientation in books and PDFs to read maps, graphs, and tables more easily.
Instant Translations: Tap any word or highlight a section to instantly translate into other languages, including Spanish, Japanese, and more. Translations by Bing Translator.
Kindle Format 8: Formatting and layout improvements make Kindle books look even better.
Wi-Fi Enhancements: Connect your Kindle Touch to Wi-Fi with WPS and select WPA2 Enterprise networks.
Read-to-Me With Text-to-Speech: Have your Kindle Touch read English-language content out loud to you, now including summaries of newspaper and magazine articles when available from the publisher.
More Sharing Options: Tell others what you're reading on Facebook or Twitter from anywhere within a book — just tap to share a link along with your comments.
Onscreen Keyboard Suggestions: Search and shop faster with automatic word suggestions as you type.



橫向閱讀可於閱讀書籍時叫出Menu,有Landscape mode/Portrait Mode,可供選擇,而一但設定之後為直接套用到所有的書籍上,不需針對單一書籍進行設定.除此之外,我還發現更新完後系統的反應速度似乎更快了,希望Amazon能持續更新,讓Kindle越來越好,以下是我個人的function wish list:
1.Font replace
2.Chinese language support

希望升級時維持之前JB的狀態,
其實JB後最重要的是換了好看的中文字,
像廣告並沒有想要換, 字典又不用JB就可以換了.

橫向閱讀可能別人需要, 我自己沒有用到這種功能~
如果系統反應速度變快, 是值得更新...

我自己的wish list反而只有1個:
amazon應該要解決"溫度變高時機子每一頁都要refresh"的bug!
有kindle touch的人可以去試試,
把機子放陽光下幾分鐘, 不管你如何開啟/關閉"每一page refresh"的設定,
它就是會每一頁都自動refresh =.=
只要機子溫度降低到室溫, 這個設定又正常了@@
