To improve accessibility, Amazon has added the ability to let users select a higher maximum font size. The app has also received some bug fixes and stability improvements.

One of the earlier updates to the iOS app improved the social aspect, in addition to adding other features. The app can now automatically prompt users to share their views on a particular book when they finish reading it on the app. The Kindle Fire has had this ability for quite a while now, along with a host of other post-reading options.
