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

Provides a good reading environment and nothing can beat the value of kindle unlimited with all the books. However, the app falls far short of providing a decent user experience for finding new books. The app almost exclusively works by whatever it suggests to you, and you can't edit those suggestions. The built in searches are lacking in the most basic features. You are much better off going to the website and using the search filters if you want to find new books to read.

The most recent update to this app has caused the progress indicators at the bottom of the screen to almost disappear. The top couple of pixels of each are still visible, but I can find no way to make them actually readable. I've tried changing fonts and font sizes, restarting the app and the phone, nothing works. Running on Samsung S22 Ultra.

The app is great, love how it organized the series and let's you sort and filter books easily. The only issue I have is when you pause an audiobook you're listening to for too long and when you press play from a Bluetooth device it starts up from the beginning rather than from where you left off. Otherwise I like this app a lot. For the books that I read here, the available options for reading are really good. Setting the theme to match my phone is great.
