The Kindle app puts over 1.5 million books at your fingertips. It’s the app for every reader, whether you’re a book reader, magazine reader, comics reader or newspaper reader—and you don’t need to own a Kindle to use the app. Choose from over a million Kindle books or enjoy popular magazines and newspapers, such as The Economist, The Spectator, The Guardian and The Daily Mail, with high-resolution colour images.*
• Read Books — Choose from more than one million e-books including bestsellers such as Pride & Prejudice or Treasure Island and new releases and over 200,000 Kindle-exclusive titles that you won’t find anywhere else, including books by bestselling authors such as Phil Rickman.
• Use the Built-In Dictionary, Google, and Wikipedia — The Kindle app has a built-in dictionary that allows you to look up words instantly while you’re reading your e-books. Simply press and hold a word to view its definition or use the Google and Wikipedia links to get more information.
• Sync Your E-Books — The Kindle app lets you read the same book across devices and syncs automatically, so you can start reading on one device and pick up where you left off on another device. The app syncs your furthest page read, bookmarks, notes and highlights between Android, PC, Mac, iPad, iPhone, iPod touch and any of our Kindle devices using our Whispersync technology.

I really dislike the whole achievement game like additions to the app and really wish they'd add a way to completely turn it off. I've also been having a lot of problems with the books in the "Library" not showing up. It'll say I have "x" number of books in the collection but they won't show up without a force stop of the app or a complete uninstall/re-install. One thing I do enjoy is the "reading insights" part of the app. It's nice seeing how much I read in a year.

I like how you can organize your books... much better than audible. I like how it suggests the next book in a series and makes finding the next read easy... much better than audible. it actually suggests things from similar even specific genres I've read before. I like the font and size change as well as the dark background. I do wish the navigation bar was not so difficult to access while in this specific app. but overall I recommend it

I was really excited after a recent update allowed me to see if I had read a book when I clicked on the details. A week later the feature was gone after the next update. The new ticker-tape for the current book takes up too much space and really annoys me. I'd like the option to remove certain genera from the display. I'd really like to quit getting suggestions for books I've already read, unless they were organized in a 'Read Again' section. An un-like option would be nice for authors too.
