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.

This app is pretty cool for 1998. Nothing wrong with it. It presents text in a text format just fine. But...all it does is present text. You'd think if that was your app's only job, you'd absolutely nail it, but instead it's just....fine. There are still bugs and annoyances that are in the app from 5 years ago. There's no innovation, no passion, no attention to detail. it's just a text reader. It doesn't crash very often. so I guess that's a plus.

Updates have made it so you can't truly close a book, rather it minimizes to a bar at the bottom of the screen. It takes up a decent amount of real estate and has a ticker that's extremely distracting when you are trying to review your library or want to browse the store. I have no idea the point of keeping the last read book as a marquee overlay. I unsubscribed from kindle unlimited and no longer use the app.

Works fine for a month or 2, then goes right back to books not downloading(gets stuck on "OPENING IS TAKING A LITTLE LONGER THAN USUAL-HANG TIGHT"🙄),search option doesn't work,and books already downloaded are not syncing with Kindle. App just won't work consistently. Troubleshooting fixes issues temporarily(sometimes) then back to the same issues. Very frustrating.
