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

Writing over an old review. Those issues have been... corrected. Not really, but app still usable. Back now and still leaving ot at 2 *. New issue, it's cutting off the bottom of the screen. I can see only the top 25% of: 1 min left in chapter. 63% Yeah I'm on read-along/narration. Do I have to ditch that before it loads properly? Formatting problem?

This used to be a great app. I used to love being able to switch between reading and listening easily. New updates took away the ability to skip/rewind 30 seconds without unlocking the phone. Now skipping without unlocking the phone skips two chapters ahead, stops audio, and gives a pop-up error saying "professional narration is not available on this page". They also took the ability to highlight any word and start playing audio from there. Now play can only start at the beginning of a page.

This app is abysmal for reading comics. I have a ton of books from the Comixology days and am now required to use this app. The "padlock" for rotation vanishes randomly, your downloads will sometimes fail but it won't tell you, you'll just have blank pages while reading. There seem to be no clear answers to these issues, they've been here since the switch over. It really is just a bad experience if you like to read comics on your phone. Negative 5 stars.
