Nate Hoffelder, of The Digital Reader just sent notice that the Amazon Touch software update 5.1 is here. Thanks, Nate.
Huge. A few long requested features:
The update includes Landscape mode, Text to Speech (newspapers & magazines added), instant language translations by Bing, and onscreen keyboard suggestions as well as other features.
Kindle Touch Software Update, V5.1 is available online, and downloadable at the link, in case the update isn't already on your Kindle Touch when you read this and you decide you want it right away.
So I'll be updating tonight when I get back instead of waiting, although the latter will be easier for most. From their page:
