Amazon wants to make its e-reader app more reader-friendly with this latest update for the iOS version of Kindle. The company has brought its exclusive Kindle font they call Bookerly to Apple devices. It was introduced to Kindle Fire devices last year.

Amazon also adds a new typesetting engine that they claim will let drop caps, images, and text adapt automatically with a “print-like layout dynamically [adjusting] for any combination of screen size and font setting.” Unfortunately, there isn’t any word yet when Amazon plans to bring this custom font to other mobile platforms.
