Amazon Kindle for Android lets users filter libraries to just show samples.

Amazon Kindle brings over a million books to your Android devices for your reading pleasure. One of my favorite features that the online bookstore offers is the ability to download and read free samples before actually buying the book. A unique feature when it comes to online shopping.

Today the app was updated with a nice and simple feature. Users can now filter their libraries to just see downloaded samples. Like I said, a minor but helpful update.

The update is live for download in Google Play Store.

Amazon Kindle for Android updated with new navigation experience called Page Flip.

Amazon is offering a new navigation experience to its Kindle app for Android and iOS, including its Kindle family of e-readers. Called Page Flip, the update is already available in Google Play for download. However, I'm am not seeing any of the new features in the app though.

Here's what's new with Page Flip. Besides the obvious flip gesture we're accustomed to thanks to FlipBoard, the updated Amazon Kindle makes it easier to "save your place" and pin your pages.
Say you want to reference a page, a chart or a picture on another page, Page Flip will pin your page to the side of the screen when you swipe away. Tap the pinned page again to get back to where you stopped reading. 

Page Flip also includes a bird's eye view feature that makes looking for a picture or passage easier and quicker to find.

Check out the video below to see Page Flip in action before heading to Google Play store to get the update.

Export your Google Docs to EPUB format.

In an update coming soon to Google Docs, users will be able to export documents to EPUB publications "allowing people to consume long-form content in their preferred apps on a diverse range of screen sizes and devices, including smartphones, tablets, and eReaders." 

EPUB is short for Electronic Publication, an open eBook standard that is widely supported and one of its features is support for reflowable document, which adapts text when a "page" is resized. In comparison, a PDF file page is fixed and cannot be re-sized and is kind of a pain to read. 

Exporting a file as EPUB in Google Docs is very easy. Simply go to File menu > Download as > EPUB Publication (.epub).

Head over to Google Play Store to verify if the update is available for you to download.
