The Store experience too is revamped, and the entire user experience of the app has gone several notches up. The update also introduces collections in library and the ability to use Google account for login.
The app allows you to purchase your favorite eBooks from the extensive catalogue at the Flipkart eBooks store from within the app, and read them on the go through the app, even when you're offline. Like the samples that Amazon Kindle store offers, you can read 10% of the book for free before buying it.
