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.

The Assistive Reader would have been a great feature to listen to books on the go, but the Reader turns off if I switch to another tab. The exact same thing happens on Kindle desktop for Mac. No, I'm not making this up. This problem does not exist for Google Play Books on mobile. Honestly, this obvious problem has plagued e-book readers for centuries and NO-ONE has managed to fix such a simple problem! Just awful! Fix it IMMEDIATELY!

Yet another update which is less user friendly than before. So the last update got rid of the store button but although the deals were hidden away you could still find them. They have now completely disappeared. The only reason I use kindle is because incan get book deals that are easily accessible. Without this, I'll be going back to books amazon

I love this app and have been using it for years. The only thing missing for me is the ability to create folders in the app. For years I have been wanting to create folders for 'books by my favourite authors' or 'favourites' etc. I have thousands of books on this app (no exaggeration) and once I've read a few too many books, all of the above get lost so far down that I never find them again when I REALLY want to re read them. PLEASE consider adding folders to a future update 💖
