Nokia Reading updated to sport 'News Stream' and importing ebooks from SkyDrive

Reports are coming in that Nokia has released an update for its Reading app, which was made available for Lumia Windows Phone owners earlier this year. The app is unfortunately not available in the US, but for those who are able to download and make use of the service it's a worthy reading companion.

Should you not be able to access the likes of Amazon's Kindle service, Nokia Reading offers a variety of books available to purchase and / or download. With the latest update, which we've not yet been able to apply ourselves, users will be able to import DRM-free books (EPUB and PDF formats supported) from SkyDrive.

As well as the ability to import own content from the cloud, Nokia Reading also sports an RSS-like feature titled 'News Stream' enabling users to receive news from a number of categories and collected sources.

You can download Nokia Reader from the Nokia Collection (not available in the US). via: Plaffo; thanks, Dario, for the tip!
