  "account": "Amazon has introduced handwriting support to the Kindle app for Android devices, allowing users to annotate books using a stylus. This update enables users to select various pen styles, colors, and sizes, as well as highlight, circle, and underline text within the books. The feature is not limited to large-screen devices, with some standard phones, such as the Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra, also gaining access to the functionality. While primarily available on Android-powered ereaders, it may eventually be extended to iOS devices, as hinted by Amazon's support page. The addition of this feature has been met with positive feedback, with users expressing excitement and praising it as a game-changer.",
  "summary": "You can now use a stylus to annotate Kindle books on select Android devices, with the iPad and iPhone Duo app possibly set to get this feature too.",
