According to Amazon, Kindle owners are eligible for a free Software update from Amazon Kindle. Kindle Software Update Version 3.1 offers changes that mark a new move marketing. Besides page numbering, Kindle users will now have the options to share their notes and highlights to the greater Kindle community (called Public Notes).
Another features long expected is the advertising and promotion at the end of a book. Along with the ability to rate the book you will “get personalized recommendations for what to read next, and see more books by the same author.” These mini-promotions will be at the back of the book, for now.

Real Page Numbers
Many titles in the Kindle Store now include real page numbers, making it easy to reference and cite passages and read alongside someone reading the print book in a book club or class. Page numbers will also be available on our free “Buy Once, Read Everywhere” Kindle apps in the coming months. As with all of Kindle’s features, we want you to lose yourself in the author’s words, so page numbers and locations are only displayed when you press the Menu button.

Public Notes
This feature lets Kindle users choose to make their book notes and highlights available for others to see. Any Kindle user — including authors, their fans, book reviewers, professors and passionate readers everywhere — can opt-in to share their thoughts on book passages and ideas with friends, family members, colleagues, and the greater Kindle community of people who love to read. To review and turn on Public Notes in your own books, view the Public Notes of people you follow, track your reading activities, see Popular Highlights and your annotations, and view your full library of books, go to https://kindle.amazon.com
