Amazon has rolled out new features for the Kindle, changing how highlights, notes, and dictionary definitions work on 11th- and 12th-generation devices.
* **Highlighting:** A new "A" button appears when highlighting text, directly highlighting the selection. The note function is now accessed immediately after highlighting, opening the keyboard for input.
* **Dictionary:** The dictionary lookup is now initiated by a "LOOKUP" button next to the highlight "A" button. Dictionary options (dictionary, Wikipedia, Translate, Search) are adaptive and positioned at the bottom of the screen to avoid covering text.
* **Figures in Non-Fiction/Textbooks:** Clicking on references like "fig-21" now displays the corresponding figure in a box on the screen.
* **Bookmarks:** Bookmarking now requires a *hold* on the top right of the screen instead of a single tap, preventing accidental bookmarks.
