Amazon’s “Story So Far” feature is rolling out to Kindle devices and the iOS Kindle app in the United States. The feature is designed to provide a recap when readers return to a book after a long break, aiming to refresh context such as key story elements and characters. Sources describe it as an upgrade to earlier recap-style functionality that has been available on Kindles for some time, including a “Previously…”-like concept.
Amazon introduced a more advanced version of “Story So Far” last year, and this rollout represents the broader availability of that improved implementation. According to reporting, the feature is now available on Kindle hardware and the iPhone app in the US. One source notes that availability is currently limited to those platforms and does not include the Android version at this stage.
Overall, the updates focus on helping readers quickly reorient themselves within a book by presenting an automatically generated story summary when they resume reading.
