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.

I have the Kindle Unlimited Membership where I can download, and some of the books have the Read or Listen for Free option. So on my clean the house days, I prefer to listen. But, ever since the last couple of updates, I have had to navigate to Sync to get the audio. It never used to be this way. I would open a book, and the audio would be ready to go. And most recently, it will only read through halfway. Frustrating. I thought updates were to make it easier, not harder to use.

When it works, it works great, but if you every face an issue, the solutions you are given are less than useless. One reoccurring issue is if you leave kindle and go back to the app for whatever reason. The page will shift down just a little. Anytime I press on the screen again it will shift up and then shift down again. You have to force close the app and open it again for it to back to normal. It's very annoying. Audiobook whisper sync is also terrible. The audiobooks won't load sometimes.

All the escape I could possibly need, in whichever size font I need, in the day or night, glaring sun or blackout dark, in a device lighter than my phone but equally as portable. I use it more than my phone, or any device, including the TV! It's a brilliant concept and I don't know what I'd do without it now. The app is quite intuitive, but I don't use all the functions available - I do particularly like the series being grouped, the read from unread and pre-orders appearing automatically.
