The Kindle for iPhone (also for iPod Touch and iPad) app has been updated with version 2.6 with the following new features:
- Real page numbers for thousands of books in the Kindle Store. Now you can make proper citations in the classroom or follow along with people reading print books in a book club.
- View your percentage completed while reading [new for iPhone/iPod Touch].
- Home screen now shows your progress through books in list view.
- Look up words on Google and Wikipedia without leaving the app.
- Instant word lookup on included dictionary with 250,000 entries and definitions
You can see full details and download the new update by clicking the top image at the Kindle for iPhone/iPod Touch app page. You'll get the same info at the Kindle for iPad app page except that it doesn't include "View your percentage completed while reading" as a new feature for the iPad (it may have been included before).
