Amazon has released an updated version of the Kindle reading app for iPads and iPhones.
The new version is 6.28. It adds a new Aa menu with all the font, layout, and reading settings accessible from one place.
It sounds like a similar layout is coming to Kindles too with the latest 5.12.4 update, but the new Aa menu still hasn’t been activated just yet.
Amazon also added some new features to the iOS app when using the continuous scroll feature.
They’ve added a vertical navigation bar and a new Reading Ruler that helps you keep your place while reading.
The Reading Ruler can be set with various colors, and you can choose how dark or light you want it to appear, and there are two different styles to choose from.
The ruler settings are accessible from the “More” tab on the new Aa menu.
Here’s more from the changelog:
– Easily access all settings related to your reading in the updated Aa menu.
– When reading in continuous scroll, use a vertical navigation bar to explore your book without losing your place.
– Use the new Reading Ruler to gain focus and read more easily. Access it via the more tab in the Aa menu.
I’m liking it so far but they seem to have forgotten to add a margin setting or maybe I can’t find it. Any clue?
It’s still there. The same three worthless settings that Kindles have always had.
I see it in your picture that it’s available but for some reason on my iPhone it’s not coming up. The only options are spacing and alignment. I’ve tried different books as well and no luck. I also tried deleting and reinstalling the app but still nothing.

Perhaps it isn’t available on phones with smaller screens. The screenshot above is from an iPad.
I am unable to turn off continuous scrolling. the button is light blue. unlike others also unable to turn off ruler. the app is virtually useless
I have a severe linguistic disability that has caused my being able to read ( from a young age through schooling) only with the board of Ed recognizing and allowing me the aid of augmentative device is that would turn text into audio format so that I would be able to only pass but actually excel in my school. However as an adult these software are not available on many devices such as iOS Apple products and Kendall has limited devices that offer the text to talk option and I am wondering if this is going to be something that corporations will realize people like we are deprived of reading for pleasure without that means simple technology makes available to put e-books to an audio format without it costing an arm and a leg and end up depriving people with disabilities such as mine which is a large portion of the population the hindrance of not being able to enjoy reading for pleasure… is this something Amazon has considered adding the disabled because iBooks does not allow the feature and I’m wondering if somebody in marketing somewhere could discuss around the word no matter what money they are considered as competition to make this feature available despite it being something we could market because it really makes us suffer if we can’t look at the text and have the audio makes sense of the letters for us.. please somebody hear this and help all of us who just want to read for pleasure without having to spend $50 on an audiobook that might not even be offered in search that so many authors don’t allow their material to be narrated…
I was formally a member of the organization for the blind and dyslexic while getting my education which again is for students and my plea here to corporation to offer devices As a form of entertainment and leisure
I encountered this same problem using the Kindle app on my ipad. The solution I got is deleting the kindle app and download it again from the Apple store, then everything is back to normal.
