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.

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.

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.

    All my books can now be carried with me so very easily on both my laptop and paperwhite. Both offer easy readably adjustments to support good vision in changing lighting. Thank you, Kindle!

  • Convenient

    This app has made reading more convenient. However, I am an annotation queen. I really wish there were more than 4 color highlight options.

  • Good..would like some improvements :)

    I like having Amazon Kindle. It is easy enough to use and convenient to have when traveling or sitting waiting on others. The one feature I would ask for is the ability to Sort My Books By Author Or Title In My Library. It seems senseless to sort through hundreds of books when we have the technology to make it more efficient (the “Search” is lame for finding books in the Library, I dislike using it).

  • The highlighting tool is now excruciatingly painful.

    Sometime recently they have decided to throw several speed bumps in the readers way when we try to highlight something. Once you select the text the program seems to freeze instead of allowing you to select the color like it used to. Now the dictionary pops up and locks the screen. You have to then tap off in the blank space to get the dictionary to disappear so you can continue with highlighting. I can’t find any way to disable the dictionary. Then once the dictionary has disappeared you have to click the color dot to go into the color options to pick the color you want. I can understand the desire to condense the colors so they can squeeze other options in. However why not make the initial unexpanded color option your last color chosen so that a tap will apply it again. Then if a long press on the color option can open up the other color option selections. Or something more usher friendly like that rather than the user painful method they have chosen.

    I’m an avid reader so I love the ability to buy books and read them all in the same place. I really like the prime reads as well. They serve as a way to explore new authors and new genres.

  • Reading again!

  • Great way to read - productively or recreationally

    Many people still prefer the tactile pleasures of hardback books. I am certainly old enough to share that nostalgic sentiment - on occasion. But for so many reasons, a Kindle is usually a better way to go. There is a vast bulk of lists of the relative merits and drawbacks of electronic versus paper media. I’ll toss mine on the pile: 1. I can have with me at all times a massive library - a very large room full of books, in a functionally infinite variety - all in a device that takes up less room than a typical printed novel. 2. Most models of Kindle allow me to read in the dark or on the beach with equal ease and clarity. 3. For my book clubs I like to highlight passages and add my own notes in preparation for the discussions. I can do this on a Kindle without defacing anything. AND… 4. A Kindle allows me to retrieve all of that material easily, and even (ironically) print it if I want paper to riffle through. The Kindle system is far superior to the seriously deficient Nook version of these functions. (Yes, I have a couple hundred Nook books acquired early in my electronic experimentation before I recognized the clear superiority of Kindle. A Nook app allows me to read them on an iPad, and I’ve even managed to get a Nook app on my Fire, which is a Kindle with some of the DNA of a tablet.) 5. I can borrow library books without leaving my easy chair, and renew or return them just as easily. 6. In nonfiction works with footnotes, I can flip back and forth with simple taps. There’s a lot more, but you get the idea. Yes, there’s a disadvantage to electronic reading: you have to charge up the devices. But other than running the fridge to keep the beer cold, I can’t think of a better use of electricity.

    Let us dismiss suggested books. It will help the algorithm grow with more data points and give Amazon more business.
