Amazon's Kindle Update Introduces Double-Tap Page Turning and Series Recaps

The 5.18.1 software update enhances Kindle navigation and adds book series summaries, now rolling out to compatible devices.

The new double-tap feature allows Kindle users to turn pages or scroll by tapping the sides or back of the device, utilizing the accelerometer rather than the touchscreen.
Currently, the double-tap functionality is limited to forward navigation, with no option for going backward or scrolling up.
The update is compatible with a wide range of Kindle models, including newer devices like the Kindle Colorsoft and older models such as the 10th generation Kindle and Kindle Oasis.
A new 'Recaps for Books in Series' feature provides summaries for thousands of bestselling book series, streamlining content review for readers.
The update is being rolled out over-the-air but can also be manually downloaded from Amazon's website for immediate installation.
