In almost every single audiobook series I listen to, they always try and make one unavailable on the phone app for Kindle, but available on the audible app. Pretty disgusting attempt to make you sign up for Audible. Recently, it seems things have gotten worse. I have to start and restart the app and refresh multiple times simply to let it show the audiobooks I currently have, and have been listening to. It is beyond frustrating to not have access to the things I have purchased.

I like how much there is to choose from the store. But the navigation is clunky and cluttered. Saving to a collection and saving to a list are in different places. I like saving a list of books I've read before I return them but it's a multi step process. As for the actual reading experience, for some reason every other time I open the app, the footer that shows the page numbers is cut off. I have to force close and then reopen the app to get the footer back. It's very annoying.

For quite some time now, I've had an issue; when I go to a different app for a brief period and then back into Kindle, it'll reload the book, change the page, and push the line with the page numbers and percentage down so only the top of the digits show on screen. It's been like this for multiple updates. In order to fix the appearance, I must close out of the app and reopen it.
