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

I love having my books with me wherever I go. I have had the app reset itself a couple of times where I had to re-add my books to my phone. Edit 3/3/2025.- I don't know what they have messed up on the app that has made their audible whisper sync so glitchy. I just bought a book yesterday with the audiobook (because I listen while I'm at work) I went to read it today and it is on chapter 1 saying it has 0 minutes left on the book. This isn’t the only book that has done this with.

This seems the only way to show how disappointing it is that Amazon is now refusing to allow digital content downloads. I know I'm only a drop in the bucket, but I will no longer purchase any book for Kindle again and my hope, is to avoid with all possibility, purchasing anything through Amazon. When we pay for a product, even a digital one, we should have the right to read in whatever format we choose. This is greed, plain and simple. And it's wrong.

I absolutely love the Kindle app! The continuous scrolling feature is a game-changer—it makes reading so smooth and effortless. I also love how easy it is to highlight text, add notes, and bookmark pages, which makes it perfect for studying or just saving my favorite quotes. Plus, the ability to import books from other apps is super convenient, so I can keep all my reads in one place. Whether I’m reading for fun or learning something new, this app makes it all so easy. Highly recommend!
