Having a bold font option is a major improvement for me.
Though Hyphen is still my favorite iOS ereading app, with MapleRead coming in second. |

They're not really competitors, though. The overwhelming majority of people use the Kindle app to read Kindle books. Hyphen and MapleRead are ePub reading apps.

It was in the previous release, but the Send To Kindle feature is nice to have, and seems to work well when I've used it.

I have yet to be able to download this version on my Air 2. It constantly errors (since May 2) with the message can not be downloaded at this time, try later. It works ok on my iPhone 7.

You might need to uninstall/delete the older app, then reinstall it. Sometimes that fixes unexplainable issues. However, 5.10 doesn't have much new in it except the new font.

Well, I finally checked the app itself instead of the update screen and it was hung up completely. Rebooting the iPad cleared the hang and I was able to do the upgrade. I should have found it sooner.

These things happen from time to time. I had a similar issue with an update to "Numbers" recently. It wouldn't update for several days, and then one day it suddenly worked. Every other app updated fine in the mean time.

I find that when updating Numbers, Keynote, or Pages, that it is best to update each of them solo. They sometimes pop up in the update list with other apps, but if I select Update All it often gets stuck on one of these big apps from Apple. Then it takes forever, or so it seems, to install anything. When I select each of these three apps separately and update it solo, it tends to update much better/faster. I'm not sure why this is, but it just seems to be one of those quirks that occurs.
