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.

Ratings and reviews

This new update changed one very important feature, which now makes finding borrowable audio books super inconvenient. The "borrow" button used to say, "read and listen now" or, "read now". This let you know if the audible version came with the borrowed book. Now, you have to download the book to see if the audible comes with it, so you end up downloading 20 books before finding one you can listen to. It makes me want to cancel my subscription. I wish they would change it back!

Loving the Kindle app. Able to get a good selection of books with my Prime membership and with the Libby app. Love that I can go from light to dark mode so easily. light mode during the day and dark for night so it isn't so bright that it bothers my husband if he is asleep. Love that I can easily increase and decrease the font size in case I do or don't have my glasses on. All around I just find it so easy to use. Love having it!!

Edited to update: It still doesn't always open to the bookmark, and now, since the last update, I have to close the app and reopen to see the progress. The app seems to be getting worse with each update. With the last 2 updates, the book does not open to the bookmark. I have to scroll ahead to find it. It's very annoying. The bookmark is there for a reason. I shouldn't have to look for it every time I open the app.
