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

In the history of reading books, nobody EVER opened to their bookmark and went back two pages to start reading again. Please stop rewinding pages. I'll pick up where I left off. No need to back up a page or two every single time I close the app. At least let me shut the stupid option off. You make me waste so much time on busy days where I can only read a page or three here and there. Makes sense (maybe?) in an audiobook or podcast. Completely terrible in actual reading. Cut. It. Out.

Sucks now that I can't buy a book through this app. Love the new assistive reader feature. This makes it so much easier for my disabled son to be able to hear books read to him. But freezes and stops playing after about 9 mins. When my son changes the page and has to go back doesn't reread the last page starts from that page that he was already on.

Settings change at random, and has to be reset regularly. Very irritating. I am so tired of having to check the settings (font, rotation, line spacing etc) virtually every time I turn a page. The person who wrote this app tried to show how clever he is, without any regard to the ergonomics. If a reader changes a setting, that setting should stay like that unless the reader deliberately goes to the setup menu and changes it. With all the updates, why has this issue not been addressed?
