GO BEYOND PAPER
Turn your iPhone or iPad into a book with the free 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 use the Google and Wikipedia links 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.

Awesome instructions
It won’t open on my MacBook, immediately displays “Kindle Quit Unexpectedly”
It’s not immediately obvious how to get Kindle to read aloud anymore. Is this because Amazon has monetized this feature on its Audible app? Too bad that moneys not flowing into my pocket!
I’m a kindle scribe user and the notebook feature is far behind when compared to competitors. I can’t see PDF annotations (this should be a basic feature), cannot export PDFs or even upload content. I understand I can side load and/or use send to kindle, however that isn’t user friendly.
I love reading.
👍
SUPER BUENO LO RECOMIENDO
I do love this app, but asking me for a review all the time is annoying. I’ll update this to keep removing stars every time I get asked.
UPDATE
Still annoying request for reviews. Still losing stars.

Still annoying request for reviews. Still losing stars.
Sync between MacBook and iPhone only works occasonally, and vise versa.
Sometimes the book doesn’t like to download the audio and I have to log out and back in. Sometimes I have to uninstall the kindle app to get the download to work so it gets four stars not 5
This update gives me an error message and prevents me from opening my kindle app on my MacBook air. I have uninstalled it and reinstalled it a few times with no sucess. What is the problem. Some of us can't afford to buy a new laptop just because your upddate stop working on our 2018 laptops. That is bad, please fix it.
I am currently reading Rattler’s law book 1, it has been a very good book, and has kept me interested all the way to 24%, got a wats to go, then I will start on book 2.
I’ve tried so many times and so many different ways to make this app even work but whenever I click on the app it’s just a plain white screen I can’t do anything on it. I’ve seen all of the five star ratings and I wanted this to work so badly and I was looking forward to this but it doesn’t freaking work!!
Great app. Very convenient.
