Introducing Page Flip for Kindle
Page Flip is a re-imagined Kindle navigation experience that makes it easy to explore books while always saving your place. With Page Flip, readers can easily flip back and forth between pages to reference different parts of a book while they read.
Page Flip automatically saves the page you're reading in a book, pinning it to the side of your screen for easy navigation. Flip back and forth in a book with confidence, knowing you can instantly jump back to reading with a simple tap of your pinned page.
Zoom out to get a bird's eye view of the book and quickly find what you're looking for. At a glance, easily recognize specific pages as you jump around. Pictures, charts, your highlights, and the layout of each page are easy to see with Page Flip's pixel-accurate thumbnails that automatically adjust as you change your font and margin settings.
"As an author, I love knowing that my work is presented with fluid clarity, freeing my readers from the page shuffling that can cloud and spoil the narrative," said Laura Hillenbrand, best-selling author of Unbroken. "With Page Flip, books become vastly more accessible, navigable, interactive, and enthralling."
"Page Flip gives me even more control over my eBooks," says KDP author Hugh Howey. "I read a lot of non-fiction, and features like these are making my Kindle not just a substitute for physical books, but something even more powerful. All my notes and highlights are saved for future reference, and I can now find them easier than before."
Page Flip works with Kindle books that have Enhanced Typesetting enabled. The feature was delivered as part of a free, over-the-air update to Kindle E-readers and the free Kindle app for iOS, Android, and Fire OS.

Featured blog: It's still about original content
By Richard Ridley
In 1994, a new form of media began. It was ignored at first, reaching only a select few readers, but over the years that followed it grew and soon became an alternate source of information to the established media outlets. This new media was called blogging, and while it's grown from sites that were nothing but basic text to sites that incorporate media-rich content, there is one constant that was true in 1994 and that is still true today: original content is king.
If you want to build viewership for your blog and have it grow consistently over time, you must create original content for the blog on a regular basis. It is the surest way to build not just a following, but a loyal following, and that is the key to brand success. When you are a source of information, you grow your brand through blogging on several fronts.
