About this app

READ ANYTIME, ANYWHERE
On the bus, on your break, in your bedā€”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, childrenā€™s books, self-help, religion, nonfiction, and moreā€”and try any book with a sample in the app before you buy on Amazon.com

- Kindle Unlimited members can enjoy unlimited reading and listening, with the freedom to explore over 1 million titles, thousands of audiobooks, and current magazines.

- Thousands of books, magazines, comics, and more included with Amazon Prime.

GO BEYOND PAPER
Turn your phone or tablet into a book with the Kindle appā€”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)ā€”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 donā€™t know and characters you canā€™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 youā€™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 birdā€™s-eye view of your book with Page Flipā€”donā€™t worry, weā€™ll save your place.

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

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

- When you canā€™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.

This app is mostly pretty good but it has some problems. If you leave the app open too long in the background, then the progress bar disappears and you have to restart the app. Also, translations are a real mixed bag. Many languages can't have one way dictionaries to English, like Italian or Norwegian. Also, the translate that uses bing often chooses the wrong language or doesn't translate at all.

The minimum brightness is way too bright. It seems like it just completely ignores the phone's brightness setting and uses its own instead. But it's minimum is significantly higher than the actual minimum then phone is capable of. Not sure why they'd intentionally ignore user preferences. It also has way too mamy distracting features that I have to dig through menus to find out how to turn off, like popular highlights. I just want to read the book without distraction and without hurting my eyes.

Loved the app until the last update around 5/8/24. Since then I've been having problems with the app not opening or periodically giving me a message that it's not compatible with my phone and I have to close it and reopen it. Other than that, it's been great to download and read books. It's nice that I can scale the text for whatever size I want. I don't really use too many of the other features available. Great that I can download books for plane rides and traveling.
