Okay, but it can be better

It would be great if the Kindle app adds a feature and make an improvement. 1. Enable the Apple Pencil and Kindle to annotate in the books we read. Typing a sticky note and highlighting statements isnt enough for some of us. 2. There are glitches sometimes to be able to read where I left off, especially if Im switching from my iPhone to my iPad.

Worthless

They purposely prevent then app from working in split screen. Like really? Your stupid app doesnt require full screen. What a waste of space on my iPad Pro.

Money

I thought that it was free but you have to pay for it The samples are also bad also since I got this app the battery has been going down a lot

Great App

Solid reading experience. The store is good. Simply the best ereader out there.

Text is blank after switching back to app.

I have to kill the app after every time I switch back to it or the text is blank. Unusable as a reference tool.

Highly Recommend

Convenient reading and easy download of purchases. Im able to send books to my 90 year old mother, and she can download them herself!

Its great, but

This app is great, and because of it I have a lot books. I wish there was a section for read and unread. Also a love, hate indicator so I dont have to go back and scan the book before re-reading them. Little color coordinated flags on the covers.

Im Hooked

I have Kindle on both my iPhone and iPad. As an avid reader and lifelong book reader I resisted the idea of reading on an electronic device. Kindle changed all that. Once I tried it I was hooked. If I want to read at night I dont need a lamp or clip light. If I find myself with an unexpected wait while Im out, if I have my iPhone, I have my book with me. The book stays synced so I can switch from iPad to iPhone without loosing my place.

Kindle is the best!

Ive been using Kindle for several years across all my devices (Apple OS X and Windows 10). I can read any book on any device and having ebooks on my screen next to my IDE makes hands-on, interactive learning, a breeze. Kindle monitors your reading progress across multiple devices so you can start a book on one device and pick up where you left off on another. I highly recommend Kindle and it is my eBook app of choice. The library of books is extensive and the money saved purchasing ebooks vs hard copy is significant. It is also possible to send other documents to Kindle as well. Youre not limited to Amazon only purchases. That I can use Kindle across all my devices is very appealing. That I dont have to lug books around between work and home is great and I never have to worry about misplacing them! Working with the app is easy and very intuitive. I did discover one of my books has a quantity restriction that requires removing the content and assigning the book to a different device or purchase another copy. Aside from that minor setback, the kindle is environment friendly and makes accessing and reading my books a breeze. I highly recommend this app and endorse using it whenever I can.

Update

The app keeps randomly closing.

My very friend

Kindle is so great and excelsius and my very friend in anytime, anyoplace I need.

Issue with deleted books

A few hours back, I tried with Customer Support on Amazon via chat to look for help in order to permanently remove the deleted books from the App, but they found out like me, that its not possible. Only the book content is removed, but the cover of the book stays in the books library, which makes confusing the searching on the library items. I wish it would only displays the actual books and not all, including the deleted ones. Hope Technical support fix this issue, I will be very grateful.

Outstanding, feature request...

The Kindle reader on iPhone and iPad is a remarkable achievement of coordinating and synchronizing reading between devices… Just love it! Would love to see a night mode with orange text on a dark background which is much more pleasing to the eye in dark settings than the currently available white on black...please? This would be similar to the setting available in the Tomes reader. Perhaps a broader selection of text and background options would be a good thing to add to the reader in general? Cheers, Tom

All I need

I love reading and I find the sample feature to be a great way to decide which book to read next. I rarely ever turn to paper copies anymore. Love it!

Love my Paperwhite Kindle!

I use it every day at the pool and enjoy the fact that I can use the x-ray features to remember characters and love that Im enhancing my vocabulary by using the dictionary! The screen is so easy to see. I wish my iPhone was just as readable!

Read from anywhere

This app makes it convenient to read your Kindle purchases from any device

Love the app

I love the easy of one touch buying and reading. I have to select one book at a time to put it in a particular group. So it would make it much easier if there was a multi function where as one could select more books to group them in categories.

Crashing

Latest version is crashing on new iPad when trying to open any books in the library. Ugh.

Heres an idea

Why dont you add barcode scanning for books people already own that they bought before amazon existed?

Great reading app

This app really is amazing I have loved using it! I love the ability to read some of a book on my phone and then on my kindle. There are only two problems with the app; one is that it is not available for multitasking on the iPad, and the second is that there is not scrolling mode.
