Kindle has a new update for the device & it's really a solid update, with this update it introduced Family Library function, which finally makes e-books from Amazon more like paperbacks in that they can be shared freely between family members.

 

 

 For the first time, you can access not only your own Kindle books, but also books from the Amazon account of a spouse or partner

You’ll get the chance to link two accounts to a device, which can include a spouse or partner, rather than having to share a single account across devices. The two paired accounts can also jointly supervise and control up to four child’s accounts too.

Also other new feature :

 

Word Wise

 

For readers learning English and children learning to read, Word Wise makes it easier to understand more challenging books more quickly. Short and simple definitions automatically appear above difficult words, so you can keep reading without having to stop and look up a word. To see the various meanings the same word can have in different contexts, just tap on the word to quickly bring up a card with definitions, synonyms, and more. You can adjust the number of definitions you see with a slider, dialing them up or down as you learn and grow your vocabulary.

For as little as $2.99 per month, kids get unlimited access to hundreds of hand-picked chapter books and early readers, all curated for age-appropriateness, so parents don’t have to spend time and money guessing what their kids will enjoy.

 

 

 

Expanded X-Ray for Books

 

X-Ray now makes it easier to explore as you read quickly flip through all the images in a book, and use the new timeline view to easily browse the most notable passages.

I'll do my E-Reading with my Reading Mode on my Note 10.1, respectively. 

Never understood the point of a kindle.

@UP
Depends on how much You read. I can't imagine reading for over 2 hours a day on a normal screen, even in "Reading Mode" or anything like that. No fun, just pain to Your eyes.
Maybe try out Kindle, You might change Your mind ;)

Have a nice day,
Karol.
