I heard that amazon updated the firmware for kindle touch, could this be the solution to the problem in turning the gadget horizontally for larger screen view?
Yes the update made by Amazon to the Kindle touch version 5.1, this new firmware update has a few significant enhancements on which almost everyone is asking for Amazon to do this update because it involves the ability to read in landscape mode.
When amazon first introduce kindle in the market some of the one who bought it are disappointed to know that they cant read the book horizontally which is the Landscape mode, on which you have to pay additional in order to use this feature. But now with the firmware upgrade you don't have to pay more because it is already included in the kindle settings.
Also another features that is included in the latest firmware upgrade is the language support and instant translation feature that allows the reader to just tap the word and translate it to any language that he /she wanted to use.
When you tap the word you will get the dictionary meaning of the word then just scroll down and your have the option to translate the word in any language that you wants. Your kindle will be automatically updated when you connect to your internet or WiFi connections through using your kindle account.
