With Amazon having recently announced the sale of the Kindle Fire and Kindle Fire HD tablets in Japan, they're complimenting their launch by updating the Kindle for Android app. The new version now supports manga books, as well as right-to-left vertical text. Those aren't the only changes within the app though, as noted in the change log --
- Improved support for Android 4.1 (Jelly Bean) and the Nexus 7 tablet.
- Send PDF, DOC, DOCX, and image files to your Kindle using the share buttons in popular Android apps like Adobe Reader, Documents to Go, ES File Explorer, and many others.
- Several bug fixes.
If you frequent using the Kindle for Android app, you'll find the update available now in the Google Play Store.
