About this app

READ ANYTIME, ANYWHERE
On the bus, on your break, in your bed—never be without something to read. The Kindle app puts millions of books, magazines, newspapers, comics, and manga at your fingertips.

FIND YOUR NEXT GREAT READ
- Find your next great read with Kindle. Choose from millions of Kindle books (including books with Audible narration), magazines, audiobooks, and comics. Explore new releases, Amazon Charts best sellers, and titles across genres like romance, science fiction, children’s books, self-help, religion, nonfiction, and more—and try any book with a sample in the app before you buy on Amazon.com

- Thousands of books, magazines, comics, and more included with Amazon Prime.

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.

the new floating menu displayed when selecting text is deeply flawed in two ways. first, if I just want to translate or copy text, now it is automatically highlighted which is terrible. second, to remove a highlight now there's a very cumbersome three touch process. highlight should NOT be automatic (or at least configurable). removing a highlight should be much simpler. when I just want a translation now the app makes an undesired highlight, and removing the highlight is a cumbersome.

the app itself has a really nice charcoal background dark mode, but the only dark mode to actually read with is pitch black which is way too hard on my eyes. as I read at night, the lighter color modes are way too bright for me. why is there not a charcoal dark mode?? or the ability to customize background and text colors altogether?? it basically makes this app unusable for me. frustrating.

So I wasn't much of a reader until last year February. Facebook ad caught my attention with a billionaire romance book and was hooked every since. I wasn't paying for Kindle at the time I started reading so I did purchase a few books that didn't cost much and noticed I was reading everyday and flying through books that it was in my best interest(& my pocket interest) hahaha to get the Kindle app & pay the monthly fee. I've had no issues with the app since Ive been using it and I love it!
