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 love the Kindle app. One improvement they could make is to the Brightness adjustment. I can't dim the screen enough in low light conditions to avoid lighting up half the room - and blurring the letters. Even when I turn the brightness all the way down, my screen is very bright. Turning on Auto brightness dims the screen below the lowest amount available through the manual adjustment. Please make it possible to turn the brightness down to zero.

The app lately has not been saving what page I left off. But continually goes back 50-100 from the page I was actually reading. Maybe its because I'm switching from my phone to my tablet a lot. But I feel as though that should not complicate this save page feature. Other than that's the app is good, the dictionary function is nice and the ability to highlight and make notes is also favorable.

Updates have made it so you can't truly close a book, rather it minimizes to a bar at the bottom of the screen. It takes up a decent amount of real estate and has a ticker that's extremely distracting when you are trying to review your library or want to browse the store. I have no idea the point of keeping the last read book as a marquee overlay. It makes me avoid browsing for my next read.
