About this app

On the bus, on your break, in your bed—never be without something to read. The Kindle app puts millions of books, magazines, newspapers, comics, and manga at your fingertips.

FIND YOUR NEXT GREAT READ
- Find your next great read with Kindle. Choose from millions of Kindle books (including books with Audible narration), magazines, audiobooks, and comics. Explore new releases, Amazon Charts best sellers, and titles across genres like romance, science fiction, children’s books, self-help, religion, nonfiction, and more—and try any book with a sample in the app before you buy on Amazon.com

GO BEYOND PAPER
Turn your phone or tablet into a book with the Kindle app—so you can read anytime, anywhere. Explore these reading features in the Kindle app:

- Read your way. Customize your text size, font type, margins, text alignment, and orientation (portrait or landscape)—and choose whether to turn pages from left to right or continuously scroll. Read comfortably day and night with adjustable brightness and background colors. Go to the Aa menu in your book to get started.

- Look up words, people, and places while you read. Breeze through words you don’t know and characters you can’t remember with the built-in dictionary, X-Ray, Wikipedia lookup, instant translations, and search within your book. Simply tap and hold a word to view its definition, or follow links to Google and Wikipedia to get more information.

- Track your reading progress. See what percent of the book you’ve read, real page numbers (for most top titles), and how much time you have left in the chapter or book based on your actual reading speed.

- Bookmark places you want to revisit, and make highlights and take notes throughout your book. Open My Notebook to see all your notes in the same place.

- Hop, skim, and jump with Page Flip. Flip between pages or get a bird’s-eye view of your book with Page Flip—don’t worry, we’ll save your place.

- Zoom in on high-definition color images in Kindle books, magazines, comics, and manga.

- Sync your books across devices. When you’re reading a book, the Kindle app will automatically sync where you left off—along with any bookmarks, highlights, or notes—so you can start reading on one device and pick up where you left off on another.

- When you can’t read, listen. Switch seamlessly from reading your Kindle book to listening to the Audible book, all within the Kindle app.

- Get notified when authors you love have new releases.

The easiest and best way to read books. You can download many books (Some for free from the library or Amazon) enlarge the font, look up information/ dictionary available, and light weight. You can also watch movies and use the Internet when traveling. I was never big on technology, but ever since I was gifted my first kindle years ago, I realized how convenient it was. There are many different versions of the Kindle e reader, so make sure you choose the one that's right for you.

In general, this application works great. A little while ago, the developers started to include a feature that makes sense in podcasting apps but not in a book reading app. When you close the app, and go back and open it later, a podcast will have rewound the audio about 30 seconds letting you pick back up where you were. Kindle has started doing the same thing, only it's completely unnecessary. When's the last time you opened your book at a bookmark and then went back to pages? Never.

With recent updates, this app is behaving badly on a device in airplane mode, even though it is not in use. It pops up a notification that I should turn off airplane mode, even though the app isn't running, notifications are disabled, and app was force stopped previously due to this annoyance. This isn't to mention the app forcing stats on you. I'm a reader, I don't need kudos on how many weeks in a row I've read. Plus, give us a way to turn off page/time altogether. Too easy to hit accidentally
