Kindle for iPad Update: Two-Column View & Book Extras Added

The Kindle for iPad 3.2 update includes two new features.

The first is the ability to display two columns of text when reading a Kindle ebook in landscape mode on the iPad. I rarely (never?) read Kindle ebooks in landscape mode on my iPad. But, I can see where the shorter lines in the two column view can provide a better reading experience.

The new Book Extras feature gets information from Shelfari.com which is a social network for book readers that was acquired by Amazon in 2008.
