READ ANYTIME, ANYWHERE On the bus, on your break, in your bed—never be without a book. Kindle books you have purchased on Amazon will automatically appear in your app. Kindle Unlimited and Amazon Prime members can select and download Kindle books directly in the app. FIND YOUR NEXT GREAT READ • Read the books you buy on Amazon in the Kindle app. Choose from over six million Kindle books (including those with Audible narration), magazines, and comics and start reading in seconds. Explore Amazon Charts best sellers and titles across genres like romance, science fiction, children’s books, self-help, religion, nonfiction, and more—and try any book with a free sample straight from the Kindle app. • Kindle Unlimited members can enjoy unlimited reading and listening, with the freedom to explore over 1 million titles, thousands of audiobooks, and current magazines. • Over 1,000 books, magazines, comics, and more included with Amazon Prime. 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. By using this app, you agree to Amazon’s Conditions of Use (www.amazon.com/conditionsofuse) and Privacy Notice (www.amazon.com/privacy).

  • Return the highlight menu to the last release

    Just wanted to say that the new menu for highlighting is cumbersome. Not a fan.
  • A once great app dies from complications

    I use this app daily. It was wonderfully intuitive and simple to use. Unfortunately, word must have gotten out to the high tech professionals. It used to take two steps to delete a highlight, now it takes six. Translations are no longer automatic, you have to select a language. Looking up or even getting a definition is more cumbersome. I can only conclude the programmers rewrote this for each other to demonstrate their cleverness. They certainly weren’t thinking about the user.
  • Adequate, just

    There’s nothing exceptional about the Kindle Reader. Its popularity is based entirely on the monopoly power of Amazon in the book business. For example, its translation service is sub par, often not having the language needed, not auto detecting the language, or simply not delivering a decent translation. Not having a Latin dictionary given the frequent use of Latin phrases is nuts. The app offers little user control over its Home Screen, which in my view should only display what one is currently reading. And being Amazon, the app is constantly trying to sell you more books, with iffy reader reviews instead of leading with reviews by professionals. Its use as a vehicle for classrooms or book clubs is non existent. It should have a means for fostering groups reads, share notations, and leader moderation. Kindle should also make updated versions of selected texts freely available and/or optionally automatically i you posted with corrections to typos and grammar mistakes, or even additional footnotes. Readers should be able to transport the content to another non-Kindle app. They have purchased the words and included non-text contents such as illustrations and the Kindle file type is irrelevant. Finally, the reader should be enabled to read the text aloud using the latest in AI voice technology. Yes, this may destroy the audiobooks industry, or it may compel them make audiobooks more than just the read words, adding other acoustics to deepen and broaden the listening experience. I buy ebooks exclusive. I prefer them for many reasons over their paper counterparts, but have not desire to stop people who enjoy that format from getting it in bookstores, friends, or libraries. Kindles is a bare bones tool, but could be much more.
  • Reading is fum

    I’ve always enjoyed reading. However, I’ve never been able to stick with it for long because life and storage space. I bought a Fire 10 on an impulse and it came with three months free of the is. That was 10 weeks ago. I can go anywhere with this and not have to worry about lighting or weight. Hardcopy books are still king though.
  • Loss of functionality or reduces usability

    By cgrett33411
    From the Home Screen, under any of the “carousels” of possible books to download, the book title and overview text is in black letters on a dark grey background, and the ability to change the font color is NOT selectable because I am using an older device that cannot run iOS 16. A petty corner of my mind says that this black on dark grey is a petty attempt to force me to update my iOS, which would require me to buy a newer device. As a former programmer, this is a loss of functionality which once existed (either as a more eatable color scheme or as @n ability to change the color scheme).
  • New update is unnecessary and not user friendly

    By SjhKitten
    The new highlight interface is annoying and wastes time. It’s not intuitive for all readers, as evidenced by the many reviews left here by frustrated customers. It’s not explained when you first open the app, either. I didn’t like that my notes and highlights button was moved either. Instead of working better with this update, the app is still slow to highlight and the additional menus I have to go through to do what I want disrupt the reading process. Amazon is a multibillion dollar company and this is the best you can do??

  • Easy to Read, Even in the Middle of the Night

    I love that Amazon gives me a free book once a month, sometimes two. When I am reading it is hands free, no spine to have to deal with and I can make the print as large as I want.
  • Latest Version (7.35.2) brings unwelcome changes

    1
    By allenack
    The new version brings major changes to the process of research (definitions, web articles, etc) that are cumbersome, interruptive to one's reading experience and, overall, diminish the ease-of-use, and therefore the enjoyment of using Kindle to read digitally. Unlike the versions it replaces, 7.35.2 does not facilitate quick, efficient research-and return-to-material. It is not an intelligent design as was its predecessors. Kindly give users the option of selecting their preferred version, or simply restore to those prior to 7.35.2.
