About this app

The Kindle app puts over 1.5 million books at your fingertips. It’s the app for every reader, whether you’re a book reader, magazine reader, comics reader or newspaper reader—and you don’t need to own a Kindle to use the app. Choose from over a million Kindle books or enjoy popular magazines and newspapers, such as The Economist, The Spectator, The Guardian and The Daily Mail, with high-resolution colour images.*

• Read Books — Choose from more than one million e-books including bestsellers such as Pride & Prejudice or Treasure Island and new releases and over 200,000 Kindle-exclusive titles that you won’t find anywhere else, including books by bestselling authors such as Phil Rickman.

• Use the Built-In Dictionary, Google, and Wikipedia — The Kindle app has a built-in dictionary that allows you to look up words instantly while you’re reading your e-books. Simply press and hold a word to view its definition or use the Google and Wikipedia links to get more information.

• Sync Your E-Books — The Kindle app lets you read the same book across devices and syncs automatically, so you can start reading on one device and pick up where you left off on another device. The app syncs your furthest page read, bookmarks, notes and highlights between Android, PC, Mac, iPad, iPhone, iPod touch and any of our Kindle devices using our Whispersync technology.

• Sample Books Before You Buy — You can read the first chapter of a book before you decide to buy on Amazon.co.uk

• Customize Your Reading — Choose your preferred font size, screen brightness, background color, and orientation (portrait or landscape) for reading your books.

* Selection of e-books and e-periodicals varies by country.

Average to poor, While the presentation of material itself is excellent, the app itself is clunky with little to no intuitive UI elements, over-reliance on a minimalist UI design that is entirely negated by having no actual UI at all without special gestures that are NOT intuitive for first time users is massively detrimental. I'll continue with working on my own software and using this app for whispernet and little more.

I prefer reading a print copy of books; however, using the Kindle app while traveling makes sense. What I do love about Kindle is the ease of searching throughout the book for the mention of characters (to keep track of who characters are, their traits, and their contributions to the storyline), as well as the ease of using the dictionary built within the app. I also like how you can adjust the theme (colors) to best fit your eyes.

I've used this app on my phones & tablets for years! I've loved it! I choose to use my Home page to manage my content, but with the last update that's not possible. When I click on Home it first provides recommendations. This isn't new. The issue is that it's stuck. No recommendations pop up, the Home page won't come up. It just sits, spinning, draining my battery when I tried to wait for it to do something. I really hope it gets fixed. It's enough to make me consider canceling my account.
