Kindle Touch Update: A Feature That Changes Everything

Amazon has rolled out a Kindle Touch update that introduces a simple yet revolutionary feature: ETA to finish a chapter or book. Curious? Let’s break it down.


Why This Feature is a Big Deal

  1. Motivation: Knowing you only have 5 minutes left in a chapter can push you to finish it.
  2. Planning: Perfect for scheduling your reading time.
  3. Satisfaction: Real-time progress tracking is oddly satisfying.

The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly

  • The Good: The ETA feature is practical and motivational.
  • The Bad: It’s not always accurate, especially for fast or slow readers.
  • The Ugly: Only available on updated Kindles. Older models are left out.

Why You Should Update Your Kindle

If you own a Kindle Touch or a newer model, this update is a must-have. The ETA feature, combined with interface improvements, makes reading more enjoyable.
