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.

Used Kindle for over 10 years! I really can't get along without it as I read wherever I go and have the chance. I read from either a Samsung tablet or my android phone. My only complaint is that Even though I sync my devices, the display on my phone does not mirror the display on my tablet; the home page does not show the book that I'm most currently reading and it sometimes shows books which I've already removed from the home page. That is annoying.

This app is mostly pretty good but it has some problems. If you leave the app open too long in the background, then the progress bar disappears and you have to restart the app. Also, translations are a real mixed bag. Many languages can't have one way dictionaries to English, like Italian or Norwegian. Also, the translate that uses bing often chooses the wrong language or doesn't translate at all.

FIX IT, AND FIX IT NOW PLEASE! All the recent comments about the app bugs track and are ruining the experience of a once cool app. WTH is going on!? Basic features like timers, bookmarking, audio downloads, synchronization, the app not randomly shutting down, etc for AMAZON and all its tech wizardry should not be this complicated...especially since ALL of these features worked before. Get it together, it's extremely frustrating.
