About this app

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.

• Sample Books Before You Buy — You can read the first chapter of a book before you decide to buy on Amazon.co.uk

• Customize Your Reading — Choose your preferred font size, screen brightness, background color, and orientation (portrait or landscape) for reading your books.

* Selection of e-books and e-periodicals varies by country.

App was just fine until it updated an hour ago. The resume reading icon (the cover of the book, tap it to go back to reading) was in the perfect spot, bottom middle, the most comfortable spot for my thumb. Now its been moved to the bottom left. I now have to physically strain my thumb to go back to what I was reading. It actually hurts my hand. They also got rid of the discover tab. Please change it back, or make the navigation bar customizable.

My favorite feature of the app is ....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. I have been very disappointed as this feature has been cut off at the bottom of the screen. It will work for a few minutes after opening the app and then it cuts off the words.

Recently, my app has issues if I scroll away to another app and come back to it. It totally re-opens, but doesn't fit the screen properly so I have to close it manually and re-open it again. That coupled with the ridiculous "unable to buy from the app" thing has made the experience a little bit less enjoyable. Still wouldn't live without it, just annoying.
