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.

Re lighting, font size changes etc, a kindle is fab, plus many books in 1 small pack. BUT kindles force you to be Amazon ONLY, so no library books etc and great until Amazon turn against you. I tried multiple new books trying to find a Turkish Audible book, but they were awful, so I returned for refunds, as usual within 10 days, but they decided there were too many so made the refunds v difficult, even though Audible=Amazon. So when this kindle dies, as they do, I'll try Kobo etc and freedom!

it would be nice if you can directly download books from the app like you can with other apps. and adjust the brightness. otherwise this is. an amazing app for reading. I am a teacher and I can store textbooks i use here. the unlimited version allows me to read a comic book when I'm collecting a curry on a friday night!

I would give 4.5 stars, because although it's great, a slight problem is that sometimes you have to change the font size to find the missing lines at the end of the page. It's mostly fine, it probably does it once every 300-400 pages, but it would be nice when you're really drawn into a story not to have to go hunting about for the missing 5-6 lines. The rest is great, easy to use, easy to bookmark, it remembers your page, but you can add multiple bookmarks too. I would definitely recommend.
