SEE ALSO: Check your Amazon account for free e-book credits from Apple As its name indicates, the new feature allows you to more easily flip through the pages of an e-book by the presenting the book in a grid layout format.- The new feature also automatically pins the page you're currently reading to a smaller area on the side of the screen when you decide to quickly browse (via swipe) other pages in the book. When you're ready to return to the page you were reading you simply tap on the tiny pinned page icon. Although the new feature, which is available via over-the-air software update, is a fairly small one, the difference in the e-book reading experience is significant. However, while Amazon says "millions" of books on its site are currently Page Flip-enabled, not all e-books on the Amazon website have the Page Flip feature enabled. Only books using Enhanced Typesetting have the feature available. - To check if a book has Page Flip, just visit the book's Amazon page and check for the "Page Flip: Enabled" notice, which is listed right under the book's price and page length fields. The free update is available today for Kindle e-readers, Fire tablets and iOS and Android versions of the Kindle app.
