Besides Enhanced Typesetting, recently added were:

  • Table viewer: Data tables in books can be viewed and magnified independently of the other book content.
  • Kindle Interactive Edition: These are like Print Replica books, but can have additional reader-activated media.
  • Comics: Comics delivered in KFX format support page and panel viewing modes and double-page spreads.
  • Kindle in Motion: These books have images and auto-playing video at fixed locations on pages with the main text flowing around them.

Because these features have been added incrementally, devices running older firmware may only support some of them.

(I may have missed some new features. Please let me know if so.)
  • the new Bookerly font.
  • a new image format with higher compression called JXR
