Amazon Kindle: Reading App App Reviews

Great - but. I love the Kindle App for IPad. It make reading several books at a time easy (I used to carry 3 books around with me, a junk novel, a good piece of literature, and a non-fiction). I have two complaints. One is that when you accumulate a large library (as I have) when you delete an item from your device, it remains in the library and there is a downward pointing arrow on the book's icon. Not every book that that is "new" bears a "new" label, and thus it is often a daunting task to determine whether you have already read a particular book. I have started to keep a list of finished books so that I don't open one that I have already read. The other is that it when you open it after reading on a Kindle or another Kindle app it will as you if you want to sync to the "most recent page read" which almost always is NOT the most recent page read. It is also almost not the furthest page you have read. I have started to note the location or page I leave off so that if I open the book on another app or on my Kindle I can go to the correct place in the book.

My Favorite Reading App!. If you’re an iOS user you really should check out All the features that are provided within the Kindle app. There’s so many features that I find very useful. I used to order books and I would highlight, tab and write notes on the pages of my books - but then what to do with the books once read . I mean sure you can give them away, store them, stack them etc but I have none of those issues now because all my books are saved in my virtual library. Which is fabulous for travel!! Getting back to taking notes and tabbing pages (bookmarking) I still do that now but it’s all part of the wonderful features available within Kindle; I can take notes, highlight (assorted colors), I can bookmark, select passages to save or I can easily Share passages with others! There’s also a dictionary feature within the pages so if you’re not familiar with a word you can instantly look it up. There’s many other features as well including whispersync which makes it seamless to pick up the story on Audible at the same point where you left off in Kindle, so you can switch between the two effortlessly!! Oh, I forgot to mention that even if you don’t use Audible, Alexa can read your books to you!! Try Kindle, it’s magic!!

Highlighting. I have been a kindle app user for many years. There have been improvements to the app that have kept me as a loyal user. Here’s one request I have (and I know it’s an atypical request and it may not ever be fixed but it’s worth asking): I browse titles, download samples, read samples, and naturally highlight and make notes as I read, whether the book is a sample or owned by me; if I like a book and want to read the full book, then I proceed to purchase it; the problem for me (and maybe no one else?) is when I purchase a book, my notes and highlights get deleted because the sample book is removed from my library and replaced with a full copy; but how can I transfer the highlights and notes? Is there a way, and if not, then can I keep the sample as well? The only workaround I can think of is to copy and paste to a document or to screen capture my notes and highlights to transfer to maintain a copy of them. These are tedious workarounds, and would love a solution. Yes, someone might ask, But why are you highlighting and making notes on a sample book? To which my response is, if I’m really into a book, I tend to make notes and highlights which means I will in turn want a full copy, which means I’m losing out on my notes and the moment I had going with the sample copy. This isn’t a high priority request, but would love an alternate workaround or solution. Thanks!

Kindle over Overdrive. UPDATE: I have been subscribed to Kindle Unlimited for some time now. I still am frustrated every time I try to simply find the K/U books that I have checked out. Why isn’t it a list like everything else? Very frustrating. It’s also too hard to find the Prime books. A list please? Down to four stars until there is a simple way to list my Kindle Unlimited books. If your library sticks you with Overdrive, I’m sorry. If your library has books in Kindle format always download them. The biggest Kindle advantage (among many) is the Search. Totally necessary in long books to look back for characters and references. How can a library-based app not include Search? What are they afraid you’ll find? Kindle handles the clock very nicely. Kindle allows you to turn the brightness down to a soft glow (on black) for recommended sleepy time reading. Overdrive is always too bright. I love Kindle's page automation. You can always see if you've turned a page or two accidentally. I prefer Kindle's font choices and page layouts. And the "About this Book" feature is wonderful. Try sharing it to Notes on your iPad and it will make a beautiful reading list or wish list. I like Kindle. I recommend the free Kindle app for iOS.

Never thought I’d enjoy reading a Kindle—how little I know myself.. As I grow older, I find my sleeping habits changing. I often wake up around 2:00am and simply take out my Kindle reading myself back to sleep. I could not do this we’re it a book. One would have to use a light which would disturb my husband’s sleep. As I wear glasses I’d be uncomfortable with one of those neck/head lights one can buy and possibly never fall asleep again. Now the best part of the Kindle is when reading any vocabulary one is not familiar with one can tap on it and a definition supplied there and then. If not enough one can simply go online and find the meaning, see the item and thus enrich one’s own vocabulary and knowledge base. The other aspect of Kindle I love is the number of books one can carry, almost weightlessly when traveling. If I feel like reading something serious, I can. Should I become bored I can immediately find something else. No need to try and find an English bookstore in say Romania simply click on one’s saved library and enjoy. I have around 200 books on my Kindle thus my library is in my handbag—what could be better?No bulky, heavy book to burden me, no confinement to that book—talk about freedom.

Phenomenal & yet can always improve. I absolutely love my kindle. I have the older paper & white which doesn’t have the USB -C. Also not sure if the newer version has this function which I believe is what they can improve on… is the ability to save the vocabulary into a file in a cloud and/or on the device. I have a hard time w/ either spelling and/or definition; so it would be great to have that function saved somewhere so the reader can remember certain words. Maybe the newer version kindles already have this. I just know if I look up the words outside of my kindle in a separate dictionary app, I am able to save those words I look up, which helps me test myself so I can learn those words faster. Oh and the pronunciation spoken on the device would be even better. I know it does that on my iPhone when I read kindle on the smartphone, but it would also be great to have that ability on my Paper & White Kindle. I’ll buy a new one if it has those functions! Otherwise, I don’t see a need to ever upgrade unless of course mine breaks down. 😊

Much needed read. This book has changed my life tremendously. I was suffering from severe back pain for six years. I was hospitalized on three separate occasions due to back spasms. I went to doctors, physical therapist amd surgeons with no relief. I found this book after i had a nervous breakdown while recovering from my last back incident. This book showed me about how my pain was a result of years and years of anger and frustration built up inside me. It would show up in the way of severe back pain. Once i started tackling the issues that brought me to this part of my life, i started having stomach pains and headaches. The sensations started jumping around to different areas. This helped me determine that it was truly MBS. This book opened my eyes to self help, compassion and gratitude. These are all needed when dealing with MBS. Please take the time and read. It will change your life. Take your time when doing the work and don't rush through it. Once you complete this you will never regret doing the work. Im still working through issues and occasionally have symptoms or sensations but i am far better off than 6 months ago and plan on continuing this healing process.

Love the app but suggested titles not working properly. I will start by saying I love being able to use this app to read anywhere at any time. Solid collection of books for kindle unlimited. Problem- the function that shows books other customers who have read the title have also read has been erratic for at least a month. This is a big deal to me, because it helps me select my next title. Sometimes it doesn’t load at all, and a spinning circle appears. When the function is working, it only shows the full selection of those recommended titles if it is the first book I have clicked on for info. For all subsequent books, it only shows 3 titles. This is a bummer. I have found that if I close the app entirely, and reopen, I can click a different book and once again, see a full selection of recommendations based on other readers. If I don’t completely close the app out between each book I browse, I am again limited to three suggestions. Mostly, now, I am getting the spinning circle and nothing is loading. Bonus points- when you click to see one of the three kindle chart recommendations at the end of a book’s description, there is now a tab up to that allows the reader to select between top 100, new releases, most wished for, etc. This has broadened the # of selections under a specific topic, which I truly appreciate!

Over 1,000 books in the palm of your hand. I got my first kindle seven years ago, and it changed my reading experience. I can now travel the world, and still have English speaking books with the push of a button. Since I bought the one with 3G incorporated, I don't even need a valid Internet connection. My reference books are always at hand wherever I am. Whether I'm on a Kindle, or using the free Kindle app for iPad, iPhone, or the computer, my notes are always available (on all devices with the Kindle app installed) thanks to Amazon's free cloud service. If I want to revisit a favorite novel, it's right there with me even on a trans-Atlantic flight where sleep might elude me. If I want to add a new book to my collection, it's just a click away. I was on a road trip through France with a group of Italians. The young girl traveling with us was bored so I pulled out my 3G Kindle, did a quick search of Italian books at her reading level, and downloaded a book we could read together. My Italian improved and the time flew by. In short, having a Kindle or Kindle app installed on your device is like holding 1,000 books in the palm of your hand. Plus, I don't have to dust off bookshelves. Or throw out old books to make way for the new.

I absolutely LOVE kindle unlimited!. I’ve always enjoyed reading, but kindle unlimited has made it so much easier to read while being a stay at home mom to an almost two year old. I LOVE paper books, but I’m ocd about my pages/book getting bent up.. 😵‍💫 Kindle unlimited also helped me discover so many new authors and amazing stories I probably would have never read because I’ve never heard of them before. Kindle unlimited also suggests books to you based on books you’ve already read and I have yet to be disappointed (I enjoy horror, the more aggressive/suspenseful, the better). Some little things I enjoy about this app are the customization options as well as streak keeper. Some examples of the customizing options are being able to change the view to white pages, black pages, and even newsprint pages. You can also display the percentage of completion, hours/minutes estimated based off your reading speed for completing both each chapter as well as cover to cover and obviously page number out of total pages. The streak tracker is really cool because it lets you know how many books/which titles you’ve completed each year, tells you how many days/months in a row you’ve been reading, and encourages you to keep reading. For the price of one book a month, what is there to lose..? 😌

Getting rid of mobi. The files I’m sending to my kindle have terrible formatting on the kindle app after sending them any other way besides mobi. I’ll just go back to the books app on my iPhone if mobi is taken away for good. That’s what opens automatically whenever my phone downloads epub files anyway. The pdf files have awful formatting compared to my current mobi files even when I select to have formatting fitted for the kindle device. If it’s not broken why is it being fixed. If I wanted to read files with new updates I’ll send them that way but that doesn’t mean you have to completely get rid of other ways of sending documents. Also the thumbnails for the files show the first page when they’re mobi but they don’t as a PDF so it’s harder to easily look through what’s downloaded. On top of all that there’s a huge delay when sending PDF compared to mobi documents that show up seconds later. -old review 4/5 I have heard you can connect it to good reads but I use my kindle for a lot more than just books and knowing when something was downloaded and when it was finished would be really helpful. Being able to sort by download date would be far more helpful to me than most recently opened. Everything else is great. — mobi is officially gone and it’s saying epub is not compatible

I was a hard core book fan, I am converted.... At 57 years old I seriously resisted the whole Kindle book thing. I wanted that book in my hands. One night I read an intro to a book online (actually it was like two chapters!) I was sucked in I had to read immediately and finish and it said there was a Kindle App for I phone so I took a chance. Stayed up all night reading the book till the end. The kindle version cost much less than a print, it was instant gratification, but more importantly I didn’t have to fiddle with a book light charging it, changing the pages AND my hands/arms were not nearly as tired holding up my phone which came with its own light! Holding up a book, especially the bigger ones can be a drain when you are reading hours and hours. Highly recommend! I’m still a little sorry I don’t have a hard copy in my library but my bookshelves are full anyway, so... I recommend trying the app! Plus you don’t have to remember to grab your book, it’s always with you. Unexpectedly waiting at the doctors office boom there it is.

Saves my Eyes; Satisfies my Soul. I am 89 years old, and I depend on my Kindle for the entertainment, enjoyment, and information that it makes easily available. All kinds of ebooks are available online. Select your favorite biography, mystery novel, biology text, or best selling novel, order it sent to your Kindle, adjust the light and the type size to your personal choice, and you are ready to enjoy reading anywhere. Even if you forget your reading glasses or want to read on a darkened airplane or bus, with Kindle, you can. Most magazines can also be read on Kindle; so you can stay informed with your favorite news magazine or keep up on the latest gardening ideas or recipes from magazine favorites. Kindle has you covered. Reading a book electronically does not mean that you can’t “mark up” the pages with ideas of your own. You can bookmark pages, take notes, underline, and highlight. This makes it easy to find material that you want to include in a review or discussion. I’m too old to enjoy using computers, but I find my Kindle very user-friendly. I would not be without it.

Better Choices -Better Outcomes. Ervin Cobb, the author of The Conscious Citizen: The Tough Questions The Average American Should Be Asking, has nailed the questions that have been on my mind lately. I admit, I never thought about what it means to be a conscious citizen. I like the way Cobb masterfully enlisted the help of the two characters, Paul and Paulette, who, like me, think of themselves as average Americans. As the couple walked through the process for considering their responses to the tough questions, I found myself testing my own assumptions. This book provided me with an approach for sorting out the data and the noise in the context of my own mindset; the approach also gave me room to challenge my thinking when making critical decisions. I was both engaged and interested from start to finish. It's an effortless read, but it is content rich with history and facts. I can see myself turning to this book often, using it as a baseline and reference for discussing sensitive topics with friends. I highly recommend this book for anyone who wants to be a more knowledgeable, engaged and conscious citizen.

Top 10 reasons I like my Kindle(s). I can categorize my library of books already enjoyed and not enjoyed I can also rate the books already read from 1* - 5* Kindle knows my taste in books based on previous purchases or books on my wish list. I use my dictionary all of the time. I enjoy highlighting well written paragraphs and being able to refer to them later. I enjoy writing and reading reviews. Reading in bed is easy; I can read multiple books and pick up where I left off. I don’t take my Kindle everywhere but I can find what I’m reading on my iPhone or iPad. I have three pages of books on my “waiting to be read” list and also on my “wish list “. I can adjust the font and brightness of the screen. I can preview the book’s characters or refer to them to refresh my memory as to who is who. If I am uncertain about a book, I can order a sample and read a few chapters to help make my decision. On my original iPad I can scroll down the pages instead of tapping to turn. Before ordering a book from the kindle store I read reviews submitted by others who have already read the book, helping me to make my decision. I receive advance notice of publication dates of favorite authors & I can preorder. Yes, I am pleased with my Kindle!

Needs improvement. I like reading books on Kindle, but I read A LOT. I mean, A LOT. Over the years I’ve accumulated a ton of books. And even if I’m caught up in a series, if I stumble over a book that I want to read, especially if it’s on sale, I’ll add it to my library. It is hard now to scroll down through the books in my library and find the ones I’ve bought but haven’t read yet. It’d be great if we had the settings option of automatically archiving books once we reach the end. Or at least sort books so the new ones come to the top. I shouldn’t have to suggest this. It seems like common sense. And I even registered a request for it years ago and they still haven’t done it. And also, for some reason my app keeps adding Kindle accounts. I think I’m up to six or so, even though I only use Kindle on two devices. So my iPhone app no longer syncs furthest read with my iPad app. Argh. Why does it do this? I tried emailing for support but they tell me I have to call. Calls for help force me to sit there for ages on hold until someone picks up, and it seems like it takes MUCH longer to get things sorted out than if I could just get some simple written instructions. It’d be great if they valued my time.

Forces one to view disgusting pornographic books on the Home Screen. There is there is no way to turn off the Kindle “Top reads in Prime reading” section which includes many books with unacceptable pictures, and disgusting titles, which I totally disagree with. Yet I am forced to look at them every single time I open the Kindle app and see the Home Screen. This is not acceptable it did not used to be this way I never would have started using Kindle. There needs to be a way to turn off the top reads section for those of us who do not wish to view this objectionable material. Customer support was no help. They kept asking me to change my own recommendations, which does nothing at all to change the Top Reads section. I got the same incorrect reply five different times from customer support. I am totally disgusted. At this point. I’m very upset that Kindle could force me to see things that I do not wish to see after I already purchased so many books. Originally, this was a five star app, but I am changing my review to one star because this issue was completely and totally unacceptable. Kindle needs to fix it immediately.

Need Kindle Immersion Reading at 3.5X and Increment Speeds. I will change my review back to 5 Stars when they get the Kindle Immersion Reading at 3.5X and Increment Speeds fixed for iPhone 15 Pro Max. Right now, it maxes out at 2.0X. That is terrible. I’m not sure when it changed. I’ve had this for years and I always have the most updated version for whatever reason it doesn’t work for me anymore. And when I talked to Kindle Support they said it’s a “known issue” but then said that “never mind, it’s been like this for years since 2020 or so” (which I know for a fact is NOT true) and it’s driving me nuts. I use this 100 times a day and read while listening (Immersion Reading) 100 books or more per year. Also, when you click on a word, used to be able to click the play button and play right back from that word. So if you highlighted a passage or if you clicked on even just a single word, you could then resume playback right from that particular spot. That has now disappeared. I have screenshots for all of this. And I have screenshots for when it all worked as well just a few hours ago today. PLEASE, Please fix my favorite app!!!

Don't like the changes. First let me say I have always loved this app I prefer using it to read my books but I don't like the recent changes to backgrounds. I'm an older reader and these changes have made it very difficult for me to use your app. I read several hours a night and used the black with white option most of the time including during the day. I cannot use this background since the change to blue lettering. I can't see the lettering. Yesterday I had to use Libby to read my book. In past I have only used Libby to read books published only in epub form. With these recent changes I'm sure I will need to use Libby more. Hope you will change this background back or at least give another option that would have the black background with white lettering. Also have found that I can't change the layers option. The color on the background I seem to be locked in doesn't stay the same the longer I read the lighter the background gets. This is not working for me any more. I have always recommended this app but probably won't until becomes more useable for me.

Congratulations you broke it.. OMG! I forgot what all I did but it involved signing out and back on. All I originally wanted to do was to remove all my downloaded books, as I had hundreds. Everything was working fine other than syncing could, understandably, take 20-25 seconds. I came back to the mess below. I tried offloading the app and reloading it. Same mess. It was the latest app version. I started sprinkling power cycling in between steps. I finally signed out, deleted the app, but left it alone in Settings. Redownloaded the app from store directly and then signed back in into Kindle from the app and life is and I gave to say it, ‘finally’ back to normal. I read 99% nonfiction and in a ‘scholarly’ attempt to solve riddles from time. Such disruptions are tormenting revealing just how big of nerd I am. lol —- You brought back an oldie but moldy defeat, the spontaneous crash. Scrolling text is jerky. App hesitates doing everything. Trying to do library searches on my iPhone takes 15-20 seconds for the keyboard to appear but you can’t type anything for maybe another 10-15 seconds. If you put the app in the background, it is constantly unloadied so you have to wait till it loads everything again, while you wait. Pathetic. What you do, hire scab programmers that are nothing but hacks?

If only.... Your app has improved over time. That is good. But one major issue I have is the fact that, when writing notes where sections are highlighted and I have to leave the app for whatever reason, if the “SAVE” button isn’t pushed I loose ALL of the previous entry. What a terrible waste of time and effort!! Why can’t the text entry remain in place and be there right where I left off? Or, if that seems to impossible to do, why isn’t there a simple auto save? That is ultra simple logic. This issue is extremely frustrating! This seems so intuitive that it’s hard to imagine why it wasn’t addressed right from the start of note taking design, or at least why it hasn’t been dealt with yet. So basic that it just doesn’t make any sense!! UPDATED: Quite seriously?!?! While writing another note, I wanted to reference another app in order to more fully expound on a specific thought related to a passage in a book I was reading on Kindle. I switched apps for only a second. ONE SECOND! And a paragraph I had written evaporated just like that! GONE!!!!! Good grief how obnoxious!!!!! This lack of basic, intuitive feature alone deserves 2 STARS!! Fix it and boom! 5 stars!

Been using since Kindle began no problems. I am a long term user of kindle. It was the first truly successful e reader. I had searched for and tried other systems. Electronic publishing seemed inevitable and an excellent use of resources. I had a library full of books and was often on waiting lists at the public library. Our family fought over special books and were always losing them. When I found out one book could be read simultaneously by several family members I was hooked. We bought the special kindle readers for all four of us and then added the apps for phones tablets and computers. I have never had a problem managing my library with both free and purchased content. Kudos. Just hope the authors are getting a fair share. Editing at publishing houses is still important but publishers costs should be very much lower with no printing, no paper, no delivery costs. All ads are media driven. Lower production costs should mean lower prices without penalizing the author, maybe even increasing the payments. In summary, the kindle system has been efficient and bug free for me ever since it began. I still use kindles to read outdoors, and love always having my library with my phone when I am stuck somewhere and need to wait.

Good, but could be better. I like the fact that a section of text can be highlighted no matter how long it is. The entire highlighted text will show up on one page that can then be reviewed. Which means all the important parts of the book can be read right there without having to jump to the page(s) to read the whole highlighted text and then having to jump back. Much more efficient when reviewing the important parts of a book. I also like that the time can be displayed where it can be read while reading. I do wish that there was an option to show how many pages are left in the chapter as the time can be. While occasionally the two pop up’s that happen when text is highlighted are useful, normally they are just a pain and get in the way. I wish those could be turned off or on depending upon one’s preference. Additionally it would be nice to be able to modify the start and stopping points of already highlighted text instead of having to delete and highlight it again. I can’t tell you how many times I think that I have selected just the text I want highlighted only to find extra words suddenly added to it. There seems to be some algorithm at play that thinks it knows better than the reader what needs to be highlighted and constantly adds extra text to the selection.

I see work is being done on library functionality, but. As an avid reader, I’d like to see more improvements for storing, organizing and finding books in my Kindle library in order to make reading Kindle books more enjoyable. 1) There should be a way to bring the categories into the library so I can filter by category and sub-category. For example: category Mystery; subcategory Police Procedural. I can shop for them this way in the Kindle store, I want to be able to view my library the same way. 2). There needs to be a way to quickly see which books have been read, and which have not. 3) There should be a private section in my kindle library that can't be seen by anyone I hand my phone or tablet to. 4) I'd like a way to easily view a series of books in order. It looks like this is being done, but it doesn’t seem to work. Also, I’d like to be able to easily go to the next book in the series. Currently, when I finish a book, a page comes up showing the title and synopsis of the next book in the series. (Thanks for adding that, it has helped a bit to at least see the title of the next book in order). Ideally though, I’d like to be able to select the next book (if in my library) and be able to open it from there. Instead, I have to search my library. Thanks for considering there suggestions.

Reading for Free. Well not exactly for free but almost! I joined the Kindle Unlimited several months back. Let me tell you it is worth every penny, By spending $15 a month reading your favorite books has never been easier. You are able to choose up to 10 titles at a time and after you read one of those 10 books you just exchange it for another title. How easy is that? It’s like having a library card without having to worry about those pesky late fines. And by owning an IPad I can carry all to tiles with me everywhere. My health is not good. I hurt 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. I don’t leave my house so going to a library is out of the question. Reading is a wonderful friend when your have to deal with that. Reading gets my mind off of how horribleI I feel. So I can say that reading has saved my life. If you are dealing with something that has the ability of stealing your sanity, join Kindle Unlimited and let a book take you on a journey into someone else’s life or read those titles that help you deal with your problems. Yes Kindle Unlimited is a life saving fantastic friend.

Kindle is a Must Have for Avid Readers!. I have been using the Kindle app for many years - first on a stand-aloe kindle and now on both a laptop and an i-pad. The seamless experience of purchasing a book is incredibly satisfying - just a few taps and the book I want is available on my device. No more waiting for deliveries nor making trips to the bookstore or waiting for library queues. This saves me time and hassle. One of the standout features for me is the ability to click on a word and instantly get its dictionary meaning. This has been a fantastic tool for improving my vocabulary without interrupting my reading flow. It's these thoughtful features that make the Kindle app not just a reading platform but also a learning companion. Additionally the convenience it offers is incredible. I travel a lot and instead of lugging around heavy books, I can simply bring an iPad wherever I go. Whether traveling, commuting, or just relaxing at home or on the beach or near a pool, I have an entire library at my fingertips,, which is so liberating. Overall, the Kindle app has transformed my reading experience. I highly recommend it - even to those who need that feeling of "turning the actual physical page". You won't be disappointed.

Love reading on a Kindle. Why? I can look up definitions of words by highlighting. I can search for the name of a character I have forgotten. I can bookmark an important page and return easily. If I look something up within a book, the page I left has an icon to return instantly to the original page. If I’m reading in the dark and I don’t want to disturb my partner, I can switch from white to black background. With a paper book, I have to have a light on. With a paper book I have to have a bookmark but with a Kindle it opens automatically to where I left off. I can share books between my other electronic devices and the program asks me if I want to go to the furtherest page. When planning a trip I can load as many books as I think l read and only have to carry the one device. Some books are cheaper, I won’t purchase a Kindle book for more than $10. I read very few magazines or books with lots of pictures because the graphics or pictures are just too small. But that doesn’t matter with so many books to choose from..

Iron Unicorn is amazing. I really loved the depths of him. He’s more than muscles, he has a big heart, brains and the ability to think WAY outside the box. His magic is amazing, the ability to combine several different types and create intricate art mostly for his closest friend is fascinating. Princess Olivia is usually strong mentally and magically. It’s incredible that both lead characters are completely in love, probably for over a decade, yet they are oblivious. All of their friends and family are aware of it and want to wake the 2 of them up. I find that it took Princess Olivia having a seriously necessary nose surgery to correct her deformed nose so she could breathe to accept that she was worthy of love. Even after her surgery she had severe dysmorphia and couldn’t accept that she was now one of the most beautiful Royals in the Royal States. I loved the fact Terry thought her original nose was cute and her new nose was too. People seldom see beneath the surface to someone’s inner beauty. It was great that the author brought back some of my favorite couples from previous books in the series. Excellent book by Susan C./ R.J. Blain!

Love my Kindle. It am a voracious reader. Just like my family I never go anywhere without my Kindle. I love the smell of a new book, however I was very limited on the the number of books that could travel with me. Years ago I even built a small bookcase to hold the books I wanted to take with me whenever we traveled. It could contain maybe 10 books. I knew there had to be a better way and then I discovered Kindle. I now have two Kindles and have downloaded the Kindle App to every electronic device, laptop, desktop computers, and iPads, iPhone, that I own. Kindle syncs seamlessly with them all. With highlighters, and notes features, I can thoroughly study any read, and quickly review all. I now take roughly 200 books with me wherever I go. Not to mention the money I have saved, when comparing the “print” price to the Kindle price of a book. I highly recommend it for young children, and young adults because it actually encourages reading for pleasure, or research on any subject. How else could I carry over 200 books in my pocket(on my iPhone) everywhere I go ?

Overall good but…. Kindle app is a great reader. However, it contains some extra features which would be AMAZING if they would develop them just a bit further so they could be put to more practical and more productive use. Kindle reader app for me, is more than just a reader like a little kindle device. It’s a productivity and learning tool and with a few little enhancements could be amazingly useful for that. Anyway, updated features are long overdue. 1. It would sure be nice if the highlights had major customizability (best) or at the very least, more color choices. As I’ve expanded my use of them, I have developed a system of highlights that act visual cues for myself for future reference. I have more ideas but the extremely limited choice of colors is frustrating that. 2. The flashcards feature works in a confusing and non-logical way. If I wanted to use the already existing ability to have highlights become flashcards, it only fills one side of the flashcard. It would be better if one could do something like allow me to choose to put adjoining highlights as a pair, the first on the front and the second second on the back. Then I could make flashcards from premises and conclusions in a book. I think that would get a lot of use from people like me who teach. 3. It would sure be helpful if I could select text across a page break with one selection rather than two separate selections. 4. Perhaps an option to read by vertically scrolling text would help with #3?

Almost perfect!. I love reading since I was a child and have read thousands of books in my almost 50 years of living. I always have a book and often 2 to 3 that I read at same time. The Kindle app makes it all so easy to pick up exactly where you left off and on my phone or tablet I have access to everything without the weight or bulk of paper or hardcover. I travel for business almost weekly, on Monday, Wednesday and Friday I am pretty much on a plane 36-40 weeks annually and often would read a 10-15 dollar paper back in that one day, no less than 2 a week. Having the Kindle unlimited account (10$ monthly) and app has allowed me access to do much more with nothing but my phone. The only caveat is it doesn't synch well between devices. If you don't manually synch from phone and go to tablet you must synch but it doesn't seem to find the page you last read. I cannot find in settings a Auto Synch that would do on day, opening app, but it's not a big deal and I still think it's a 5 star app, especially coupled with Kindle unlimited reading subscription.

Best for all Books. Unless you are one that needs to show off all the books you’ve read on your shelves to make yourself feel smart, Kindle is the best way to read a book for so many reasons! Such as reading at night: you don’t need a book light—black screen with white lettering is easy to read and doesn’t disturb my husband sleeping next to me. Research and Review: if you want to look up a term or subject, you have a search tool that is built into the book! My only wish is that they have a tool that will read the book to you because Audible doesn’t have everything and I like being interactive with a book, such as writing notes, highlights, and marking pages. And I also like running on my treadmill while listening to books, but Audible is limited in old books. I wish Kindle would also take older books between the 40s and 80s and “Kindlize” them. (My word for books that can be read on Kindle.) Maybe the future will allow us to take our old books to a place that will scan them and Kindlize them—that would be cool!

Mostly good. Definitely the best source for a wide selection of books but since kindle has taken it’s toll on most local book stores, the kindle prices have escalated proportionally. Also, as kindle expands the options available, caution must be exercised to avoid ordering something other than what your looking for, ie you want a book but you end up with audiobook or sample chapter or some other new and improved offering. Question for Kindle: why do you not list books written as a series in numerical order and why do you not list books written with the same lead character by publication date? It’s an ordeal to find the latest release of a Jack Reacher novel if you don’t know the title as it may be anywhere within the twenty or so previously released JR books. If the author of a series of six or more books is also the author of a large number of novels other than the series the books in the series might be scattered indiscriminately among all the releases. These are just inconvenient irritants but one would think they could be easily resolved. This does not prevent Kindle from being the best choice available and their customer service is second to none.

Kindle App. The Kindle app for the iPad is a good stable way to enjoy reading. I like the options for font size and screen color. I can up the font size if I can’t find my reading glasses and tone down the light if I am reading in bed at night. What I don’t like is two things. 1) When I got my iPad last Christmas I had over 400 ebooks already. When I added the app, all of my books came over and I had no way of sorting between the books I had read and the books I hadn’t. 400+ books is a lot to try and sort through to see if I have read them or not. THEN, once I locate them there isn’t a way for me to sort them or keep them separate. I would pay for the app gladly if you gave me a few more choices on sorting and storing my books! 2) I am always buying new books but purchasing them has become a nightmare. It seems like every way I try and buy a book I am not able to. I can’t seem to find the “store.” I get to where I think I can buy and the only choice I have is to download a sample. I don’t want the sample, I want to buy the book! If anyone knows what I am doing wrong or how I can fix this, I would sure appreciate some feedback!

Still needs fixing!. I’m not sure if it was the Kindle App or an IOS Update, but around the turn of the year, either when Kindle was updated, or when the IOS System Update happened, the Accessibility option of turning Text to Speech (TtS) stopped working correctly. It would crash the TtS capability, or just stop working, or skip half a page or more, then continue. With the latest update, they seem to have fixed the crashing/quitting problem, but not the skipping half a page, or more. It will be reading along, correctly, and then skip 4 or 5 paragraphs. It is quite abrupt, and makes the TtS feature unusable, which is very disturbing to those who need that capability, and really inconvenient for those who used that feature of IOS to turn the Kindle App into the next best thing to Audible, and some books just aren’t available on Audible. Besides, it is a Safety Hazard, because you would have to keep an eye out that it hadn’t quit or skipped! But the main reason for fixing it is the commitment they have to the non-sighted community. It is a great disservice to them, from a feature that had been working fine, until the updates that happened early this year! Please return it to functionality!

eReader developers. As time passes, there will be increasing demand from users for the full implementation of HTML5, CSS3, and ePub3 in reflowable-text eReaders. The features that users could be experiencing as they read include video, audio, JavaScript, background images, embedded fonts, and much more. The current requirement that eBooks with embedded media use the fixed-layout format is inappropriate when text-based eBooks have media designed to flow along with the text. That requirement can result in many consecutive pages of fixed-layout text that can’t be resized. Fixed-layout is for magazine-type eBooks. The current implementation of reflowable text is for text-only eBooks, like traditional novels. There should be a third option available that utilizes all the features of ePub3. Currently, the display of media in reflowable-text eReaders is very haphazard, with images or videos halfway off the page or not displayed at all. Scripts in JavaScript are ignored or appear as text in the body text. If a user pays extra for a multimedia eBook, they would like to experience the media they paid for. Please provide users and designers a third option, multimedia-text, in addition to reflowable-text and fixed-layout. Thinking that reflowable-text eBooks don’t need video or audio is like Norma Desmond saying she’d had the eyes of the world but they wanted their ears too. Was she right? Movies don’t need soundtracks? Please allow eReaders to continue evolving.

Kindle Fire vs Kindle app on iPad. I’m fortunate to have both a Kindle Fire and an iPad. Rec’d my old Fire as a gift in 2012, and have gone almost completely to e-readers since then. I thought I’d miss the feel of the book, but my arthritic hands are grateful for the change. My new, 2017 Fire is lighter and easier to hold than the old one. I have books for my granddaughter on it, and I’m comfortable handing it over to her because I don’t have a lot of other ‘stuff’ on it. We do occasionally watch videos on it, and that’s easy. The app I have on my iPad works well - probably equal to the Kindle, itself. I tend to read it from the horizontal position, and enjoy that the font size is so easily adapted. It’s a little more difficult (for me) to use to read in bed - extra weight & bulk - but if my granddaughter & I are both reading, it’s not a big deal. I guess the bottom line is that I’m a confirmed e-reader and doubt I’ll go back. Convenience, ease of book purchasing, better price on books, being able to sync between the two readers... it doesn’t get much better than this.

Works well to read but some problems. PROS: I like that I have some choice in the color of the “paper,” print, how brightly (or not—good at night) lit, size of print, etc. I like that if I dk a word, I can simply tap on it for a definition (although I’d like a better, more encompassing dictionary). Overall, I find it easy to read on the app. CONS: My biggest peeve is that is highly unreliable as to whether I’ve read a book or not. It is supposed to but often doesn’t, which I find quite annoying. Of course, major books stay with me, but I read a lot and don’t always remember, say, whether I’ve read a particular mystery. Similarly, it doesn’t always catch that I’ve already purchased a book. It is supposed to and should. I have paid twice for the same book a number of times. Less important but a matter of convenience, it doesn’t remember your last page read. It says it does, but here’s an example of it not working: I’ve just read something that leads me to wonder when the book was published, so I go to look for the copyright page. If I forget to look at my current page number, the app will take me either to the front or back of the book to see the date. Now Kindle sometimes registers that page (the beginning or end of the book) as my furthest page read.

Balance. I’m a book freak. I will read almost anything and my husband made a good point about all the space my books were taking up especially since I’d read 90% of them and unless they’re a favorite I won’t read again. So I grudgingly started to actually use my kindle and my kindle app on my iPad. First - I love that you can highlight great quotes or see - without it being intrusive - quotes that others had highlighted if there were many. I don’t have to scrawl all over my beloved books to take notes either. I love that my library -via Libby - allows me to read so many books on the kindle app and it’s connected to my account so I can put my iPad down and pick up my actual kindle. If you are a more-than-one-book a month reader I definitely recommend Kindle Unlimited. You can hold up to 10 books so you never have to wait to borrow a book when you’ve finished one. It’s an awesome App and I absolutely love my actual Kindle too. I do still read analog books though bc I’m not ready for a world without the smell of a fantastic old classic and a cup of coffee in my hands. Besides, I’m not ready to obliterate an entire beautiful magical imaginative and instructive industry. ❤️

Updated 8/2 Fixed :) - Need to reinstall & restart. It took over a month but thank you. So far my app is working again. Back to 5 stars! I recommend if you have an IOS device to uninstall and reinstall. I also restarted my device. It didn’t work until I did all that. I can now access without having to use my browser. Kindle has always been my go to with unlimited, prime and magazines right there! My frustration is over. Please don’t let that happen again :) please be more diligent if it doesn’t work for IOS users, I use mine all the time. (Previous) Been patient since last update, App keeps crashing on iPhone when opening. I pay for unlimited and it’s really upsetting that I can’t even open the app. I get that updates aren’t always great but a lot have left reviews about crashing and not being able to open. Take your reviews serious. Normally it’s my go to because I pay for unlimited, need to rethink that if this doesn’t get fixed quickly. I’m paying for books I can’t access. Disappointing, and that’s being rather nice right now.

Greatest Reading Option Ever!!. I have “borrowed” several books using this app and I could not be happier. What a great way to have access to tons of fantastic books without spending a lot of money on books you may not want to read again. Or how about checking out new genres that you think you might like but haven’t had an easy way to do it. Or being able to read books across devices? Load a book on your phone, your iPhone, your tablet, your iPad, your pc; any or all of them. You are usually carrying one of these around with you anyway. Just like the library but right at your fingertips! There is a trial period. So I would say check it out. Got 5 minutes, 30 minutes, an hour? Read anytime, anywhere. Please don’t get me wrong. I love books, actual books: the feel of them in my hands; turning pages; the scent of paper and ink and bindings; the history of time and the people who read the exact book I am holding; the entire tactile act of reading an actual book. This is but an option. And a very good one! So if your life is busy and your time is limited, waiting in a doctor’s office, sitting on a bus, in line picking up the kids at school…anywhere…anytime… Read a Book!

Kindle App for use with iPads. I thoroughly enjoy using the Kindle app with my iPad. I appreciate having the ability to increase the text size and darken and lighten the background lighting. I utilize the dictionary features when I come across a word I’m not familiar with instead of having to look it up in another application. I read on both my iPad and my iPhone and love the fact that I can sync my devices to the farthest page read. I also like the way that many venues utilize the Kindle application as I have been able to check out books from the library using the Kindle app. The only negative is not being able to borrow digital books from other Kindle users like you can with hard copy books. I have actually loaned my Kindle Fire to a friend so she could read from my library, however, this is not really practical as the electronic devices have so much other data which you may not want others to have access to. If there was an option to share electronic books with others, I would give the Kindle app a 5.

So many books so little time!. I enjoy my Kindle app so much! I use it everyday, even for my assigned reading for school. My problem is with the Kindle Vela which is accessible on the app as well. That’s on reason why I didn’t give this app five stars. On Kindle Vella, you can read stories in episodes or chapters. You pay coins for new episodes. Problem is that some authors don’t finish their stories. So here I’ve spend a lot of coins on a story that doesn’t proceed after say 49 episodes and another one that stoped at 360 episodes. It’s ridiculous that these authors can get a way with out finishing their stories after readers have spent coins to read their stories. I also have Kindle Unlimited. That’s where you pay a monthly fee of $5 I think and you can check out books that you return later. I’ve noticed though, after using my sister’s actual Kindle, that books that are only offered to KU on the app are offered for both KU and for purchase in the Kindle. It bothers me because my KU library is usually filled to capacity (20 books I think) but I see a book I want to read immediately but I can’t purchase it on the app but I can if I had an actual Kindle.

I SIMPLY LOVE MY KINDLE. I have owned at least 7 Kindles over the years and they have changed my life. I couldn’t go by a bookstore without buying at least one book. Add to that all the books I had bought throughout my life and suddenly I had a veritable library. I love books. I love the feel of the pages, the look of the binding and most of all I loved to read, mark and enjoy the experience. Then came all my travels. And carrying around books through trains, planes, hotels and invariably loosing one. Not to mention they were taking up every inch of wall space in my home or apartment. I began donating them to allow space for other kinds of art. And then came Kindle. I blame it on Oprah, of course. 😉 I have a serious, progressive eye dis-ease now and I am able to continue reading vociferously, adjusting the fonts and light for ease of use. Can’t do that with a book! And, now my library is in my hands and I have lovely pictures and art on my walls. I still have some precious books that are marked and inwardly digested that will be here to remind me of their presence. But my Kindle is my companion.

Please fix end-of-page highlighting & Notebook font size. Hey Kindle dev team! You guys have done a fantastic job here. Love the app, and have used it to read and highlight hundreds of books. It works nearly flawlessly, except for two things: 1) When you want to highlight text that extends beyond the end of the page, the cursor either sits at the bottom of the page and does nothing, or it jumps ahead and highlights the next page or three. You guys have elegant solutions for this on the Kindle devices (it automatically highlights the rest of the sentence on the next page) and also with hyphenated words (it highlights the rest of the word on the next page). iBooks also just highlights the next word on the next page. Any of these solutions would be preferable to the haphazard way the highligting feature works right now. 2) In the Notebook for highlights, the font is teeny tiny headache-inducingly minuscule. Would it be possible to either make the default font bigger, or to have a font size adjustment feature like in the main text? That would be amazing! Thanks for your attention!

Enhancement suggestions. I really like the kindle app and am an avid reader. With that said there a number of enhancements that I would like to see. I have had 4 different kindles (keyboard, touch, paper white, and oasis) and an early Sony E reader. I read primarily on my iPad. Although the dictionary and highlighting are occasionally helpful. It would be nice to have a user setting to turn this off so I don’t constantly have this show up because my hand slips when holding my tablet. I still think you need a better collection hierarchy. I have 3000+ books in my library and it would be nice to organize by author or genre and then have one or more specific levels. Some authors write romance, mystery, and paranormal. This should not be too hard with the database capabilities available. It would also be nice if there was an easier way to add multiple books to a collection. A setting to automatically remove a downloaded book after completion would also be helpful. Just a few ideas. I have a current big investment in kindle but if somebody else has a good library organization capability I might move on since this is really holding things back. With hard copy books I can organize my shelves how I want, electronic organization should be even easier.

LOVE my Kindle!!! BUT...last upgrade for it changed it!. The last upgrade was again, a group of many improvements which will hopefully improve many users experience with the app. AND, I do realize that mine problem with it is going to be very minute to most. Please do bear with me. I've tried support, but they suggested I try through review. I am VERY hearing impaired! I've been this way my entire life. I've learned to adjust, but this one is a pain! At this point of life, I have HUGE problems hearing typical female voices, because they are typically in the treble range. I only hear base. I'm not the only, since this is typical for hearing loss, so there are more "baby boomers" on the way, who will also have this happening to them. So....what's the deal here, you ask?! Up until this last upgrade, the voice for "translation" of dictionary words has been male. A day doesn't go by that I don't look up at least two to five words. I LOVE learning new or odd vocabulary words, AND how they are pronounced. Now, even if I were to stand on my head, I cannot hear the voice you're using. Is there ANY help here for my problem?

Kindle. I was a holdout, believing that a physical book, with paper and ink, held in the hand along with a whisky neat was the only way to appreciate literature. I eventually realized that keeping to that aesthetic should really lead to audio books since the tradition of storytelling is an oral art. And I can’t do that. I’ve gotten past this, though. Kindle on iPad makes room lighting issues irrelevant. I can adjust text size to accommodate visual weakness, including when I have read too long and either need a break or larger text. And, I can translate the occasional Latin or French phrase, make notes as I go (frequently remembering a book or music referenced within a book), or just follow a thought down a rabbit hole. I get more benefit from Kindle than I lose. And, finally, combine it with the Libby app (yeah, I know this is a Kindle review) to check out books from your library(s) (which I read on Kindle rather than Libby). What’s not to love? Most of the above is just justifying reading classics on any electronic device. But Kindle is intuitive, page turning is comfortable, navigating and keeping track is easy. Very well done.

My Favorite Reading App. I love the Kindle app. I am an avid reader, and have three reading apps. I have iBooks and the Barnes and Noble app called Nook along with Kindle. Of the three apps, I find I like the Kindle app the best because it is the most intuitive. It is the easiest to annotate i.e., highlighting, entering notations (which I frequently do when I look up the definition of a word I’m unfamiliar with), and determining where you are in the book or how much more time it will take to finish a chapter. The new feature of zooming out and flipping through pages is really helpful too as well as the ability to tap the icon that will return you to your previous location. The three things I would consider improving are: 1) when I’m reading with the screen brightness turned down because I’m reading in the dark, when I look up a definition of a word, the print is so small and dim that I can’t see it. I then have to get out of the definition, increase the brightness, and go back and highlight the word and look up the definition again; 2) sometimes the dictionary isn’t available and when I am told to download it, it won’t download, and 3) I really wish it had more colors available for highlighting the text.

I really enjoy my Kindle.. I love my Kindle as this is my only source for reading. I do not read paper books anymore. I read a fair amount everyday and enjoy it immensely. The only thing that rankles me is that your authors are allowed to write series that they do not finish sometimes. If you are reading these, it is nice to read that the characters are safe and sound at the end of the last book. I actually had a discussion with one of your authors about this. She said that the reason for not finishing a series was because it was not being bought and read and that you had software, "big brother is watching" to let you know how long it takes to read a page. Shame on you. This makes me Leary of buying series of books. By the way this author promised to finish the series and never has and I will never buy any of her books again as she has broken faith with me. I like my Kindle and it’s software, but I do not like all the emails and Texts being sent. These texts are for conversation when I am having a problem with the software. I did not authorize the company to use my private cell phone number for there companies marketing plan……..

A great ap especially for the bookshelf challenged. This is a great app. Prior to getting the kindle app I was reduced to getting rid of books as I had exceeded my bookshelf capacity. Now with Kindle I can access a vast library from the cloud acan carry more books on my iPad for when I cannot access the internet. The ability to manage your library by assigning books to multiple categories is very beneficial as is the ability to upload PDFs and other documents using the send to kindle app means you are able to upload manuals and reference material not available through the kindle store. I rate this app as essential

App needs some work. This app is not user friendly. I tried it a while back, but compared to another app I was trying at the same time (Kobo), the Kindle app was just lacking. It downloaded books in full automatically, cluttering up my iPad, & there was no facility to keep a book in my list, yet remove the bulky download. If someone is a voracious reader this is a real issue. I am someone who will sometimes re-read favourites, especially when they are part of a series or from a favourite author. The choice of fonts, font sizes, contrast, & other user tools could do with some updating. There was limited functionality as to grouping books into genres &/or author lists. It just seemed clunky & frustrating to use. I deleted it in the end, & only reinstalled it today because an ebook by a favourite author was not available in other formats. Relying on a monopoly to keep people using a sub-par app is really bad customer service, but with Amazon’s reputation I am not surprised. Will be deleting again as soon as I have read my latest ebook.

Page turn animation. I love my kindle on all devices. However I have two peeves. Whatever happened to the cool page animation? I was mighty impressed with how realistic the page turning was when kindle for iPhone first arrived. I find the page slider more difficult to use. Also Audible and Kindle don’t sync automatically to where you left off on the last online device. Frustrating when it takes you back to a previous spot you’d already read on Audible. It really needs to be automatic rather than having to do something to sync

The Billionaire’s Curvy Librarian.. This story is about Kelsey who works in a library and Eric who is a billionaire real estate tycoon he plans to buy the building because it’s costing the city too much to keep it open. Eric meets the curvy beauty but he’s dressed like a poor person he doesn’t want anyone to know that he is rich, when he see’s Kelsey he’s enamoured by her and he takes her out on a date. Kelsey is interested in the gorgeous man and she notices the things about him like how nice his watch is to being clean shaven and with a body made for sin but dreary clothes she just didn’t know what to make of him, but when Eric asked her on a date Kelsey accepted. Fantastic story I loved it and I highly recommend this book even though it’s a short story.

A return to reading. I have always loved books, Along the way as I got beyond middle age I found it more difficult to read. The font sizes in most books and magazines were too small and I needed a good light to see to read. Eventually it got too hard and I stopped reading. Some years passed before I discovered the iPad and the Kindle app. How fantastic to be able get pretty much any book, set the font to my liking together with the right illumination for me and read again. After years without, I went through 60+ books in my first year back and now have a library of hundreds! They are all always available and I do not need to remember where I left off, the app does that for me. I cannot recommend the Kindle highly enough for anyone who finds the pleasure of reading losing its lure due to the passage of time. Get back to your younger self and rediscover the manic of a great book.

Good but.... I use screen reader to listen to kindle Ebooks but there’s an issue in the software that makes this difficult. Kindle won’t turn the page if the device is turned off. I emailed kindle and was told this is due to a battery saving feature on iPads. I don’t believe this is true as the iBooks app reads fine when my iPad is off. And it’s kind of illogical as wouldn’t keeping my iPad on chew up power? I’m very disappointed by this. I suppose it won’t affect many other users, but it’s significant for me. I listen to a lot of kindle books at night and I can’t do this with my iPad on. It’s a pity as it’s spoiled an otherwise excellent app. My iPhone had the same issue however it wasn’t much of a problem as my phone was small and stayed on when I closed the case.

Next best thing to a real book. I grew up of a diet of paper- and hard-backs, and despite years of using e-devices still like the smell and feel and am sure I feel different reading paper. And yet…Kindle is so very, very handy. Compact, easy to pick up on a different device (mostly! The sync can lag a bit) and I carry my entire library with me! It would be nice to not have to jump out to the browser to buy books, be notified when next in series is out / due to be out and a few other niceties. But what I have is already more than what I had with paper…and these too would be more. So not an app that changed my life…but it behaves very well, is intuitive and not too many adverts/annoyances.

My Quality Of Life!!!!. At the end of 1981 I contracted what I thought was a chronic pain syndrome in my right forearm & by ‘82 both arms, & I was told by various members of the medical fraternity that rest would see it go away. I had to stop playing guitar, my source of income. Oh & I increasingly had trouble doing anything with my arms & hands which of course included holding books & I’ve always been a voracious reader. It has never gone away but fortunately I was a very good singer & made my living singing in bands & as a session singer, recording & backing other singers. Reading remained a problem until I discovered “Kindle” & Ebooks & Ive never looked back as far as reading goes.

A great app!. Kindle is so convenient and useful! You can buy the books and read them and all you need is a device! Buy books with a single click. I can read samples too! I read kindle like 3 hrs a day. I can’t help it though. The books are all so great and it will recommend new books and track how much you have read this year. I have read about 135 books so far. I LOVE READING! Kindle is the best app ever. You can change how big the words are in novels, you can even do page animations which will make it seem like you are actually flipping through the book! I love that experience. You won’t have to worry about losing books. Just keep the I pad safe! Sometimes it glitches though. Like that one time it glitched and I lost all my downloads but it still took up 11gb! I had to delete the app and reinstall it. Annoying.

Add notes is clumsy. I can see that recently there has been a change in the notes pop-up. The new design is not practical. First, there is no quick access to any buttons. As a result, you need to tap on the 3 vertical dots to bring out the menu. Second, it is definitely a TWO hand operation!!! It is painful, really. Third, when you are finished writing or editing a note, the only way to close it is by tapping the ‘X’ button on top right. Again, it forces me to use two hands or two hand gymnastics to close the notes pop-up. Please address this design issues.

Scorching Hawwwwt. When I was surprised with the gift of reading one of Parker S Huntington’s ARCs I was enthralled and totally in awe of how two people come together in essence of such unquestionable grief.. With so much to say and the irrevocable pull that exists between the two characters it’s almost as if the one thing they have in common is unbeknownst to the both of them drawing them together. Like I totally could see the tickle that the Main Character would have gotten with Charlie walking in on his brother mid thrust, mild hair pull… but he would of punched his brother for the things filling his mind’s eye when Charlie stands there not giving an inch.. I love the structure and realness of the indecision each character reveals, and the journey each character takes even in death to grow and become quite the epitome of growth. Five stars for this amazing story born of tragedy but the unequivocal essence of coming together being a family forever.

Love the app but want more features. I love the app but there are so many features I want which are not available. I want the ability to be able to mark books in a series and put in notes and reminders about when the next book in a series is due out. I also want the ability to easily see only unread books, and as a follow up edit the metadata to say that I have read (or have not read) a book, and ideally put the date I read it as well. I would also love a folder which automatically tracks my kindle unlimited so I know how many I have checked out, and what books I have checked out previously. It would also be great if there was something which highlighted a KU book I have read which is now on sale so I could decide if I wanted to buy it. Lots more but that’s a start to moving this fabulous app from just a reader to a book managment system

Worst thing about it is caused by Apple. This has everything I want from an e-reader and more. I love the times when I’ve finished a book from a new author, or started a new series that blows my mind and leaves me wanting the next one - and I can start reading the next one in seconds! It’s great living here in the future. The app has all the benefits of an e-reader. I can adjust the font size, screen brightness, which font the book uses, the number of columns and many other variables. I can annotate the book, highlight passages, report typographical errors, immediately look up dictionary definitions, encyclopaedia articles, translations and pictures. It’s annoying that I have to go to Amazon’s website to by a book rather than buying it through the app, but given the “Apple tax” for doing it that way, it’s worth it.

The Quest. Stella Knight Niall’s Bride Five amazing Stars Nails Bride I was absolutely thrilled to receive book four, A Scottish Time Travel Romance. Written by the amazing Stella Knight. I completely adored this marvellous time-travelling romance. Such a classic Scottish story of true love. Set now in Edinburgh, Scotland We met Niall O’Kean, who’s family were originally time travellers. After suffering recurring bad dreams of a woman who who lived during the 14th century. Niall had a close friend, Scott Chapman who had worked and studied medieval Scotland at the University of Edinburgh. His own sister had time traveled herself had traveled at that same time to marry a Highlander herself. From that time Niall knew he had to rescue her. I simply enjoyed this marvellous and most exciting tale. Such a fantastic and most excellent series too. Such a wonderful and most delightful characters throughout to read and enjoy. I completely loved and enjoyed this book. It was such a illuminating success!! Congratulations Stella Knight! I recommend this book to everyone!!

Easy on the hands. Kindle has been a savior for my love of reading, as weakness in my hands limits the reading I can do with a hardcover book or paperback. You can zoom in easy and determine how you want to read. Best of all, no problems with how many ebooks you buy, as storage is never an issue. I love the convenience of being able to read my ebooks on either my iPad, smartphone or computer and never losing your place in the book you are reading, even when reading the same ebook on different devices. Kindle is very versatile, whereas other ebook readers are not. Kindle is an incentive to read ebooks, as you can do your bit for Mother Nature and the environment, by reducing the need to cut down trees. Love the Kindle app.

Only slightly obsessed (note the sarcasm). I use kindle daily. Pay for unlimited and can’t say I’m disappointed. Love the ease of access and prices to purchase it I decide to buy if I can’t afford my unlimited membership. I read way to much (or maybe not enough lol) and will go through a book at least ever week or two depending on my reading interest through the week. I have kindle on ever device I own. Find it helps me relax enough to get to Sleep on my bad nights. I suggest putting your phone on dark mode and using the black background when reading and turning your brightness down on your device and I promise you it will help when you can’t sleep…. Does with me anyway highly recommend

Freezes a lot since the last update…. The app is generally great, but twice it has updated with problems subsequently occurring that cause the app to freeze, not sync or load the audio part of a book. It’s frustrating to experience when you’ve bought something to listen to and read you’re eager to get on with. The library holds texts as a cover that I’ve returned and deleted, which is annoying and messy. They build up over time. I’ve contacted kindle for help with solution being available- it’s a bug. I love the Discover feature and notifications too. It would be great to be able to sort shelves in my library.

Significant issues with braille rendering app unusable for VoiceOver users who are braille readers. Since the iOS 16.5 update, braille no longer works when reading Kindle books. It is not possible to use the keys on the Brailliant braille display to advance through the page. I enjoy reading. I do not enjoy reading in audio but read in braille for the most part. VoiceOver users who read in braille no longer have the option of a portable reading experience if the iPhone and iPad are their primary devices. If this is your only means of reading books it might be worth managing subscriptions until this issue is fixed.

Great Ap but hard to organize Library and Store Needs to filter books you have already read.. This Ap is a great alternative to buying a second E-book reader to have to carry around. It makes reading on your phone much easier on your eyes because I don’t know about anyone else but there’s just something about Ibooks that hurts. But the Kindle unlimited store is the most frustrating experience, it constantly recommends and pushes books at you that you have already read and there is no way to filter out already read content. That would be a very handy feature. You can’t filter read from unread until it is in your library.

Love love love my kindle!. To be able to buy and read so many books would never have been possible with only paper books! I can take my kindle with me traveling and I don’t need to worry what book I’ll feel like reading, as they’re all there at my fingertips! Best of all the app is available on my iPhone and iPad so I read there too! So convenient! Kindle and kindle app is changing the world of reading! Get rid of your stuck mindset about only loving paper books and open up a whole new world of reading. Also the books are cheaper on kindle and easier to access and download. Better than the competition hands down.

A Lass for the Cursed Highlander. Despite their faults, Fiona has managed to gain a reader’s sympathy for the main characters, including the villains, but it is not until the final crisis that we see a maturity in this tortured young man. The heroine comes across as one would expect, with doubts and suspicions. Her anguish is portrayed as it should be, with her conflicting emotions pulling her in different directions. A well rounded story fairly true to the era. My one criticism would be the battering of the castle. This would only happen under siege when an enemy needs to breech the walls. In this case, the attackers are already in the castle grounds. A curious anomaly in an otherwise well constructed tale.

First time user.. After all these years hearing about Kindle & how good it was, but I never thought of using it, until I come across it by accident. Being from the old school of thought, “I need the book in my hands”, how wrong was I. Yes the feel of a book still excites me, that feeling you get at the end of the final chapter, when the bond of a book is drawing to a close for the last time. However, being able to access my current read from virtually anywhere has excited me also. Ok you don’t have this piece of art in your hands, but if you change your mindset a little and open up to this great technology you will still feel the love and that bond. It’s the story and what’s behind the story is really what you bonding with right. To have that deep connection with your story, it doesn’t really matter how you read it, as long as you still get what’s intended and for me, knowledge, expansion of ones mind, love and compassion of the world, the people and things in it. kindle gives me more opportunity than ever before to experience this this great value of life.

Pathetic app that rarely works, just freezes as soon as you open it. I don’t understand why Apple allows this terrible app to be on its platform. It needs to be removed until it is fixed and made to work properly. Every time I open it, it freezes. I can’t open my folders or search for a book, or scroll down to look through my books, let alone open a book. I have deleted it and re-downloaded it multiple times (after which I then have to go through the tedious process of downloading my books again). On the very rare occasion when it does work, it is brilliant. I love being able to look up words in the dictionary, translate text, look up facts on Wikipedia, add highlights, bookmarks and notes. If only it would work more often than just occasionally, it would be my favourite app. :(

For those who like to hold a real book!. I was given a Kindle some years ago asa gift from my Son. He had included some books written by authors I read, and at the time I was half way through a Clive Cussler. I bit the bullet, moved to the Kindle, and have not read a hard cover or paperback since. I did move to an iPad mini with the Kindle app., and have read hundreds of books, and I have a few hundred I have bought to keep me busy inth3 coming years, along with new releases from my favourite authors. I like the fact that I can just pick up my library in one hand, and have it wherever. Getting used to e-books was not difficult, and I love it!

Game changer. I am totally committed to my kindle app on my iPad mini. I smile incredulously (smugly!!) at the luddites who claim to need the “touch and smell of real books”. Kindle is a major advancement for serious readers. It is: cheap and easy to purchase and receive books in seconds; able to store dozens (hundreds) of books for ready access worldwide; possible to highlight, save and forward cuttings to friends; possible to instantly look up the meaning of words and events or indeed almost anything, in seconds. I love too that I can categorise, organise and rate books for easy retrieval at a future date. It is a true game changer and worth every penny.

Does Everything Right. I love the Kindle app on my iPhone and iPad. It’s always been one of the most flawless, intuitive and elegant apps I’ve used. It makes reading a joy, especially with the dark theme (so easy on the eyes) and with all the little formatting customisations available to personalise your reading experience. I also really appreciate that I can load up both my Kindle store purchased books in the same library with my own extensive library of .mobi formatted brooks that I’ve collected over the years. I tried so many eBook apps that fall short in one way or another. The Kindle app just does everything right. Wouldn’t be without it!

Great app. I read constantly using this app & overall it is fantastic. Unlike some other reviewers I like the constant upgrades and new features - as one other reviewer said, if you don't like it don't use the feature! I like the new(ish) ability to make my own collections, but finding the time to organise my thousands (!Yes, I know...) of books is difficult... There are a few things I would love to see made possible - 1) Viewing the synopsis or blurb without having to open the book; 2) the ability to view the books in my library by genre; and 3) the ability to cross reference the collections from the app to an actual kindle - my Mum has one, and it would be easier if she could access the collections I've already made, rather than having to make new ones... But other than those, a great app - keep up the good work!

My treasure.. My Kindle accompanies me everywhere. Absolutely love it. Light, easy to pop into my handbag and always ready as a place in which to loose myself, even for the odd spare few minutes. Thus no down time in my life. Content accessible on my several devices. The only disadvantage which I think almost impossible to overcome - some books eg art, jewellery, architecture have pictures which would be irreproducible in Kindle format. Could not imagine life without this treasure. Price of Kindle books affordable and immediately available.

Library a go go. Where were you 50 years ago when I started to buy hardcover books- walls now full, and gathering dust , unfortunately. It has been great fun collecting them, and I love looking at the titles and know the story right away. That was now. Supposed to be retired but still working. Doing more travel on public transport , and no boredom! Kindle to the rescue . I can flick through the library easily to pick up in the various stories open and allow time and stations to pass. Finish one. Start another without having to stuff another book into a loaded briefcase. Phone goes into a pocket and is within easy reach if I get stuck in a Reception . Feeling happier than looking a brick walls with incoherent paintings or blank ones. Good for client relationships- smiles come easily even though the late recipient has chewed my day. Very happy with my gift to myself.

Great app. Honestly it’s an awesome app with minimum glitching. The ebook quality is great. My main issue is that the “your reading goal” part of the app is glitchy, I like to use it to keep track of what books I’ve read and also if I want to do a reread which ones are worth rereading. But every now and then it’ll glitch like at the moment it hasn’t recorded the last 5 books I’ve read. Each of which on the Home Screen are showing I’ve read yet the reading goal will not go up! Would love it if you’s could figure out the glitch. But overall awesome app. 🙂

Bug that needs fixing?. I love my kindle for iPad and have been using it for years but since the new version installed a week ago I have a problem. When I have not read my book for a few hours and turn on the iPad to continue reading (particularly first time in the day) my iPad goes straight to cover of book and then will not let me go any further, whereas before it would go to a page of books. Allowing me to chose library. Now I have to reboot my iPad for it to work and then it is ok. Would this be a bug in this version. I have no other issues with the iPad.

Love my kindle. This is the best invention ever as I always have a book to read whenever I want! It helped pass the time on a flight to & from America. It kept me entertained on flight delays. So easy to download new books and return them with a click of a button. Introduced me to amazing new authors. I especially love the authors who write series. There is a huge variety of writers and all genres so you will definitely find something just for you. I find it’s the best value for money and I don’t end up with hundreds of books that I have read. If you don’t enjoy the book just return and head back to “discovery” and search the millions of books. You won’t regret getting Kindle

New To ebooks. I’ve always loved to read books, and it’s been a passion ever since I was born. Most days I’ll read the first book in a series and find out that it’s only sold in another country :( That’s why I decided to read it as an ebook. This is the first ebook app I’ve ever used and I must say, while there is nothing like a good hardcover book, I’m actually really impressed with how easy it is to read! There are multiple different ways to view your book, whether it be background color, font and much more. Not only can I bring the book on my phone anywhere I go, but I can also read all the book series that are not available as paperback in my country. Also on the plus-side, books are half the usual price as they don’t have to spend money on precious resources such as paper, which is cheaper for you, and reduces the impact on the environment! Absolutely love this app Would recommend every day to friends 10/10

Kindle is amazing. Kindle is a one of a kind reading app, it gives you access to so many different kinds of books. All of these books is an outstanding quality, when you are reading a book there is so many things that you can do. For instance, you are reading a really long book, if it has a diagram double tap and it will zoom in to the diagram perfectly. The most useful on of all is that you can bookmark a page! So, kindle is one of the best reading apps you will ever experience in your life.

Best app ever if you have a kindle. Never be bored again. Anytime you have your phone, you have your book with you. The app will keep track of where you are up to in your book on your kindle and the kindle keeps track of where you are on your phone. Doctor running late? Train running late? You can always read. The only criticism is that sometimes the sync between the app and the phone doesn’t work. Mostly if you select sync devices it will catch up but occasionally you need to manually find where you are up to

Book readers dream. As a life long reader, I find this App to be a Godsend. To be able to carry with you hundreds of books, all word searchable and which can be read in any ambient light condition, and have a dictionary at your finger tips is fantastic. Programming manuals are generally thick and bulky, and awkward to carry around and sometimes I have needed them but not had them with me. With the Kindle App however, they can be with me and no extra weight or bulk, providing total convenience. Am now done with buying paper books and this saves money, space in my living areas, and is easier when it comes time to move house. The only things I would like to see included in the App... are more highlight options, such as underline (with color options), an outline box for slabs of text that would look too busy underlined, and more colors available to highlight. Readers rejoice.

Simple Tools with Powerful Results. The Power of Meditation for ADHD is an invaluable resource for adults with ADHD seeking effective strategies to find inner calm and quiet their minds. As someone with ADHD, I found the tools presented in this book to be helpful and I’m excited to implement them into my daily routine. The book offers a diverse range of meditation techniques, each accompanied by clear instructions on when and how to apply them. The techniques are adaptable to various situations, providing a toolkit for managing ADHD symptoms in different contexts. I found value in the parenting chapter and I wish I had this book when my children were young. The insights and practical advice provided in this chapter are useful for parents or caregivers looking to introduce meditation to their children with ADHD. I know the feather technique would have helped my children! I recommend this book to anyone grappling with ADHD and searching for effective strategies to cultivate a sense of calm within their minds. This book equips readers with tools that are easy to implement, yet produce powerful results.

Another hit by the dynamic duo. Here we have another funny, romantic, absolutely charming story from the partnership of MacLeod and Markinson. It’s an “opening the first page, then unable to put down” book, that keeps you thoroughly engaged from start to finish. It has all you want in a light hearted romance with an intriguing plot. Starting with a “hook-up” at a wedding, an outstanding, (for those of us who adore reading about them and who doesn’t), Ice Queen and an inspiring young tv reporter on the brink of a new career, this delightful book grabs your attention right away. Oh, and there’s backstabbing and a surprise twist. The plot also highlights some pertinent aspects of society and broadcasting, even though it’s the 2020’s. You’ll love the two protagonists, as they manoeuvre their way through this new found love. To top it all off, there’s a dog and a cat that almost “steal the show”.

Recent changes causing issues.. I love the Kindle app, especially in terms of flexibility and displaying books across the entire screen of the entire iPad instead of trying hard to mimic the format of a paperback. Let’s be honest. Not all books come in that format, especially when I use a larger font for easing the strain on my eyes. There is one issue though that has popped up in the recent updates, and that is quite often when I reopen the app to come back to my book, it no longer opens where I last left it. It used to open where I last left it, now it opens further back, often between half a page to to pages back, which kind of infuriates me when I try to find where I was up to. Please fix it.

Could be better. Two issues lose two stars for this app. The app has themes, so that you can change from one set of styles to another, but this takes 4 clicks. Themes are supposed to be shortcuts, so it would make sense to have your favourite themes available on the top of the page at all times. Huge annoyance: when you click in the middle of the page, the whole page text shrinks down and menus appear. These seems wholly unnecessary, and wasn’t in the earlier version. Simply displaying the menus/buttons over the top of the existing text would be more than adequate, Apart from these two annoying and unnecessary features, the app is quite good and I use it regularly for reading my kindle books.

Better than physical books. For years I dismissed the kindle/e-reader, I was of the opinion that nothing beat the feel and smell of a physical book. Now while I still love the smell of a book, the convenience of having a library at my finger tips is just too good to pass up. I read ALOT at least a book a day sometimes two, I used to hate having to go shopping for new books once I finished one… Kindle and Kindle Unlimited have changed everything for me. I no longer have to hit the shops or wait for a delivery to jump into my next story, its literally the click of a button and I am good to go. I can search by author, book name or even trope, its a readers paradise. If you are on the fence I say give it a go, what’s the harm? And you may just find you are converted like I was. :)

Fantastic book , looking insight for insights to higher level of a consciousness then this it.. More than just a great book for anyone out there feeling demoralised and experiencing the disharmony due to existing and escalating chaos on a personal level be it emotionally , mental , physical and all that is going on out there around the planet at large in this point in time . This books contains insight and instructions on more levels than just the intellect to not only make sense of this chaos , why it is what it is , how to navigate this and brings with great detail all the subversive plans , who and why are trying to fix chaos and enslavement for us all .

Storage Saver & Handy. What I like about this app is that I no longer have to find space on shelves for physical books. I also don't have to cart one about with me during the day, I can just take out my phone and read. While there is something special about holding an actual book in my hands, the convenience of a digital book (not to mention it's usually cheaper to buy), has made me a convert. These books are stored forever in my account, meaning they won't get lost or damaged either.

Great app but.... Love being able to read books on my tablet/phone & love my Kindle Unlimited subscription but why are 99% of the books I read full of typos & the wrong version of words??? I appreciate that I can send feedback on all the mistakes via the “Report Content Error” section, but is it so hard to type the books correctly in the first place??? This isn’t just the occasional author error, this is almost every single book I’ve read (& that’s hundreds!). Whoever transcribes these books constantly makes stupid mistakes like “barred” instead of “bared” & leaves out words. Very poor fundamentals. Otherwise, love the app.

Who made some bad update choices. OMG I love my kindle app but wow some nitwit did some horrid updates this time. The dark mode feature has been removed, the A-Z index has been removed. And these are just the immediate things I’ve noticed. You can’t tell me people weren’t using these features. I know my daughter is having kittens over the dark mode not longer being available as she’s dyslexic and has light sensitivity so trying to see what’s in her library pain, but also because she can’t spell the greatest having the A-Z option removed is just making her experience all the more torturous. So there has now been two app updates since I posted my original review and guess what Kindle app designers aren’t listening to what the users are complaining about. The whole idea should be to make this app as user friendly as possible and for all people instead the app has taken a giant step backwards. Please fix this app and make it user friendly for all again.

I love books. I have a small house and I only have so much room, much of it filled with bookshelves and books. Until I win several million dollars my library space will be limited. The kindle let’s me have a pile of books but just the weight of a paperback. I was sceptical until I tried it. After my first book on kindle there was no turning back. I love being on the bus and reading one book. Finishing it and starting a new one without the weight of 2 books. I think I own over a thousand books right now so not having any more physical books (maybe a few) is a huge step towards not loading myself down. Books in their native form are wonderful and the kindle is too.

Kindle app on iPhone for visually impaired. The iPhone Speak Screen option in Accessibility settlers allowed me to read a book in The iPhone Kindle app. This may not sound very significant but I am visually impaired (registered blind) and had great pleasure listening to a book being read to me with the Speak Screen option. Speak Screen goes across pages and it turns the page so you can actually see where you are, as well as continuing to read until you ask it to pause or stop. It has been many, many years since I read a book and I am so excited at the new opportunities Kindle is offering with this option on the iPhone.

Kindle app for iPad a practical versatile choice. As somebody who uses their iPad all day in their work and leisure time, I really don’t have much use for a separate kindle device. However, I want to be able to access the huge range of kindle books. The Kindle app for iPad provides a perfect solution to being able to read kindle books without having a separate device. Best of all, is that it’s free! Easy to use and convenient. A separate kindle device or keep its charge for much longer than an iPad, I am but I find the iPad app absolutely perfect for my needs. Highly recommended!

A good app but a bit NQR. Overall this app isn't that bad but IMO it seriously lacks in two areas. 1. When looking at book titles in my library it is very rare to be able to read the entire title in the two lines shpwn, in my case partially due to the fact that so many of the 800 or so books in my kindle collection are part of a series which means that the part of the name I so often need which is 'Book #'. 2. My other gripe is one that might go a long way to resolving the one above is that although when reading a book on my iPhone I can view the pages in Portrait or Landscape the Library list is Portrait view only. Fixing these would easily make the app 4 or even 5 stars.

Transition can be a journey...but worth it. Like most readers, I love holding books, turning pages, being able to easily use my fingers to flick the pages back and forward to look for things. Even the smell and look of books in my library is something forever gone with Kindle. But with one door closing another opens up. I can travel with a library in my pocket. I don’t have to move out of my study to fit new books. I can easily read two or three books at once. I thought I’d miss richly illustrated books but my iPad is a reasonable substitute. And my paper white Kindle lets me read without feeling guilty about a rapidly draining battery. Using the Kindle app is an ongoing journey. But being a reader, I am always open and excited about new journeys and destinations.

a downgrade from a reading perspective. What happened to Dark mode? The home screen is too bright. What happend to the collections I carefully assembled? They are gone. I prefer the classic app.

The update that took 7 years to make. So what was announced with much fanfare as an "enhanced book reading and library management experience" is nothing but the long overdue addition of collection management that the Kindle app on every other device already has. Wow. Took Amazon only 7 years. Colour me impressed. But wait, there are more "enhancements": They increased the spacing between book covers in Grid view - a waste of screen estate at the expense of people with ageing eyes, because the covers are now smaller than before and cannot be enlarged. Same with the fonts for the collection titles: they are tiny and there's no way to change that. There are still no tags to organize your books, or drag and drop to move books into collections, or something as basic as a 'Select all' function: When you download a larger library you have to select every book individually. What a joke.

Were to fined books. It is a bit hard to find books. I have to go to amazon and get them. I wish I could buy them here but I just started so you might be able. But over all it is an amazing website and I recommend it to all!

worst UI possible. nothing translates over from the classic and it's impossible to find anything you are looking for. You cannot create a simple collection, I cannot understand how this is the upgraded version of the app.

Incompatability problem. I just changed my rating of my Kindle Scribe from 5 to 4, since I discovered that one of my downloads to Kindle is "not compatible with this device" and unavailable for download. I can see nothing on the Amazon website to indicate this. Whatever the reason for this incompatability, it makes my Kindle Scribe less useful than I thought it was. I believe the same problem occurs with other Kindle devices.

Library at your fingertips. I just downloaded Kindle Unlimited and so far it’s been incredible. Paying $1 per month instead of $15 per book is such a great savings.

New Kindle. SUCKS. It smugly announces that it has reassembled my categories, but it failed to get them right. The management system categorically says that it will organize "all my ebooks" but won't accept anything but Kindle books, and not all of them. It wasn't particularly good in the original, but now it's much, much worse.

Terrible update. Just downloaded the new update and now my kindle will not open. Worked perfectly before Terrible update

App cutting out. App can’t be used. Keeps cutting out and can’t open any books. Needs an update!

App keeps closing. For some reason my app just started to close as soon as I open it. I deleted it and downloaded it again and it still happens. I turned my phone off and back on and it still happens. I do not want to reset my phone to factory settings just to install this app because that is ridiculous for a single app to cause that much headache.

Complete EBook Reader. Kindle is a generous app. There is a large database of ebooks, many at low prices. The user can create categories or list the ebooks individually in a variety of ways. There are options for viewing preferences, and other options to use Kindle as a study guide.

Crashing like crazy - not happy. Would have said this was my favourite reading app. No idea why you can’t buy buy books “in app” but that’s your loss because it turns a lot of people off. Since the latest update my app is crashing every time I try and open it. Both on my iPhone and on the iPad. I own over a thousand books so you better get your act together. If this gets fixed I’ll consider changing my rating…

Indigenous Research. I am into my last phaser of the Dissertation for an Interdisciplinary PhD and absolutely love the Kindle books. I can read on my phone when travelling or waiting during line-ups, and highlighting key texts to copy and paste for later reference is an absolute game changer. The different colors with the highlighter allows me to make themes which I can access for later paraphrasing. Best of all, I can place onto my i-pad, purchase a microphone stand with an ipad hollder and read on my exercise mat for comfort as my back needs a break from sitting during long reading sessions.

Latest update won’t open on my iPad. The past two days, the iPad app would turn on but it was frozen on the book selection screen. Today the app itself won’t even open. I can only read on a little phone screen now, so I haven’t really been reading

Assistive reader. The assistive readers voice makes me want to run and hurl… preferably on it so it will short circuit and stop talking. Please get a better voice for the assistive readers. Everything else is amazing though.

Inconvient. Can’t purchase books from app very inconvient

So great and not just for books!. I often send a document to Kindle in order to save it somewhere and for it to be more visually pleasing and readable in the Kindle format. I also try many samples of books out for free before I buy them as it is a great way to know whether you are going to enjoy the book. I love the Kindle app and highly advise getting it for yourself !!

Passable but disappointed. When I heard a new Kindle app was making its way to Mac, I was excited! However, the product we received is more or less a cut and paste of the iPad app, which makes me question why it wasn't readily available when Apple announced that iOS apps could operate on M1 Macs... I would love the ability for the app to hide items in the library or change to light mode in the library view without having to change the OS settings from dark mode to light mode. Also... the app does not natively run on Apple silicon... just makes me question how much effort Amazon really put into this app. EDIT 10/18: Amazon updated the app to run natively on Apple silicon. The app benefits greatly from a performance boost but the features are still lacking. Again... passable... but disappointed.

jeff.. nice try jeff trying to make more money off of me you too timmy you think i’ll do the review just so more people buy the app. nice try jeff and tim.

I love this app. The Kindle app has been a mainstay on my iPhone. Works perfectly. The only downside is that you still can’t shop for books directly through the app but rather have to purchase via Amazon.

it’s become a horrible data grabby thing. no way to turn of all the monitoring and infantile feedback on “reading achievements” horrible

Not working on new iOS 16+. Just hangs on new iPhone pro and doesn’t go past sign in screen ( keyboard is disabled at this point and doesn’t let me fill up my credentials )

It hardly uses any data!. I’m enjoying using kindle on my iPad. It is so easy to read a book in any colour/font you choose. And barely uses any data.

Don’t deal with Amazon because benefits change without notice.. I paid for Amazon Prime and I was getting as a benefit free Kindle and Amazon music. Now you no longer get these and you get to pay for them as a money grab. They changed a contract that I agreed to pay an amount for prime membership and perks and now the perks are gone!

Kindle is crashing- started Jan. 2nd 2024. Is anyone else having trouble with their kindle app? Mine will open but it closes instantly

Version 6.60 - App crashes immediately on opening. You need to issue another update. V6.60 app crashes immediately on opening.

Handwriting with Apple Pencil. I hope you guys would consider to support handwriting with Apple Pencil. This would be very helpful to take notes just on the book pages. Would work well with study books. And please improve stability when working on split screen. Every time I come back from other apps, the kindle app would crash and have to restart.

Very poor. The organization of the library is extremely poor, no way to manually organize books, no way to put books in the same series by different authors together. I have over a 1000 books on my tablet but avoid amazon (kindle) app because it’s impossible to organize a library on it.

Truly horrible. I happily installed this in response to the announcement that the 'Classic' version was being deprecated. Big mistake.... The UI is essentially absent - impossible to navigate and do even the most basic management and settings. It's unbelievable that they not only released it like this, but that they also pushed it on unsuspecting users so enthusiastically.

Crashes on launch. Version 6.6 crashes upon launch. Who tests these programs before releasing them?

When an update goes wrong…. I’ve used this app for years and I’ve loved it. Today, though, with yesterdays update, I’m missing about half on my purchased books. This is not good. What happened? I’ve tried re-booting my iPad but that doesn’t work. What’s going on?

Kindle. It works great once you figure a few things out! Better than I suspected. Will get more digital books for my study!

Doesn't recognize that there's a world outside the US. I have Amazon accounts on the Canadian and American websites. When I try to log in to the Canadian account (where my new Kindle should be attached to but won't ... separate issue), it won't recognize the account. But it has no problem logging in to the US account. When are companies going to recognize that the universe doesn't end at the American border?

Like the app more than the concept. I like the app on my iPad and iPhone. But I don’t like the fact I don’t own the books. I can’t give them to my son when I’m done. And so on. This is a real reduction in rights.

Increasingly unreliable. I keep running into crashes, freezes and syncing bugs during the last couple of years.

App keeps closing. I did love this app up until yesterday now every time I open it it closes so it’s unusable. I have a lot of books that I purchased so to say the least I’m not happy right now.

Bug fixes don’t stop screen freezing. Why is it that every time I seem to open this reading app to attempt some work or leisure of any kind.. the book freezes in 10 seconds of opening the app… honestly if I could get a refund for the e-books and buy a PAPER BACK COPY.. I would

Review. Books I’ve returned for a refund still show in my library despite multiple syncs and despite not being available to read. Very frustrating!

Crashing. After latest update app won’t even load, crashes immediately

Terrible. Doesn't work. Most of my Kindle books are now unreadable with this app. Looking fo alternatives. I'll probably stop all Kindle books purchases.K

Kindle Crushes It. This is my favorite reading app, bar none. I read a LOT of books every year - novels, non-fiction, textbooks - and Kindle makes it easy and enjoyable. Easy scrolling for a continuous read flow, multiple colors for highlights, copy and paste functionality for notes that autopopulates the book citation,and adjustable text size, this app has it all. This app made me finally switch over to reading digital books over hardcopy.

The app isn’t working. Won’t let me log in and keeps crashing

No split screen. No split screen option on IPP so it useless for work or study

App Keeps Crashing. This app keeps crashing all of a sudden. I just read a forum. Many people with the same issue.

Major sync problems. If I read on my iPad it refuses to sync my reading progress to other devices. Hat makes this SUPER annoying is it constantly wants to sync the iPad back to the last read page on my other device?? Read on kindle to say page 100 Continue reading on iPad to page 209 Go back to kindle and it refuses to advance to page 209 Go to iPad, it now wants to sync back to page 100 because this was opened on the kindle?

Great App. It’s a great app, but you can’t buy books on it... you have to buy them on Amazon first

Best app ever. I got this app 3 days ago and I’m obsessed with it it was so many books and they are so fun try on ipad

Kindle & Amazon apps. Neither the Kindle nor the Amazon app allows me to download books? Why not?

Bad Update or Old Phone?. I’m not sure if it’s my phone (I have an iPhone XR) or if it’s the app itself. Every time I load Kindle it either freezes within seconds of using it, or crashes. Please fix this bug!

Keeps Freezing. My biggest complaint with this App is its propensity to freeze. I open the App and all I see is the cover of the book I last read. I cannot read the book, I cannot change the book; all I can do is look at the cover. Closing and reopening the app rarely works and I have to resort to a forced restart of my iPad. If this only happened once a month I would not be writing this review. If it happened once a week I wouldn’t be writing this review, but since the last update it happens daily, sometimes more than once. Hence the review. You are better than this Amazon. Fix it please.

Kindle Ease:. Since I started using the Kindle app to purchase/read I have done more reading since my college days. Only this time it is for enjoyment not study. I have the app installed on an older IPad which makes it very easy for my 70 year old eyes. The selection of literature to read is outstanding and the prices compared to a paper and ink book allows me to read new releases and not break the bank. I enjoy books from most all genre’s and the selection of titles is awesome. My granddaughter and I share reading recommendations, as well as recipes, craft suggestions, etc so the Kindle actually allows the two of us to share experiences even though we a separated by distance. She utilizes the audio versions which allows her to enjoy a good stories while still looking after two little girls, both under two years old. I would highly recommend Kindle to anyone who enjoys reading a good book while enjoying convenience of having your whole library in a very portable format. All this while saving money! Such a deal!

Books. I’ve always loved reading. I could travel all over the world and get lost in my books and there was a wide variety. I love reading the and all the commentaries, and a plethora of books that bring the Bible stories to life, for young and old! I could read the mystery of “Who done it?” Or the one that made you literally “LOL!” and didn’t care who was listening. If anything they find out what it was making me laugh. Oh, and my favorite’s are those that put in a great deal of historical truths into the story line. And my go to is pioneer stories of how my country, the awesome US of A! And best part is I can carry every one of those books wherever I go thanks to my Kindle! I highly recommend everyone who loves reading to purchase a Kindle! It’s easy to setup and you’ll be pleasantly surprised at how easy it is to get lost in reading and you will find yourself asking why it took you so long to get one! I’ve been using my kindle for 12 or 14 years. Oh how I wished I’d had a Kindle 20 years ago when I was in college…

Library Functions and AI. I greatly appreciate being able to read anytime anywhere. And love my kindle (although I’d use their term “Colorsoft” with a strong emphasize on the soft…there’s no real color). The Kindle app improved my deployments immeasurably. But in 2026, you’re putting AI that that from I can tell, no one asked for in the kindle app, yet functionality and user interface remain in 2010. I have many hundreds of books between kindle, audible, Libby and my personal library, so a way to organize this app would be very welcome. If I’m reading books on Kindle unlimited and then return the book, there is zero way to show in my library that I’ve read it. No history of it at all. Can’t add it to a collection because it still disappears. My library loans don’t necessarily disappear. It actually shows in my library as a “read” title. Now THIS is handy. Please - 1. allow the same functionality for kindle unlimited. And 2. LET ME OPT OUT OF YOUR AI FEATURE. If you must shove AI down our throats then at least give me the ability to turn it off! I fear I will have to cancel my subscription for a different service out of pure frustration otherwise.

I need to SEE my notes. I love being able to pack around several books and bounce between my iPhone and iPad to read them. I love that I can highlight portions of text and copy/paste, or even make cute little memes to share, but I NEED TO BE ABLE TO TAKE NOTES ON THE PAGE. Copying and pasting, or clicking the notes tab and typing the notes does not work for my brain. I need to be able to make notes in the margins, circle words, write my thoughts above sentences - hand writing them is how my brain remembers things. Doesn’t work to put them into a physical notebook/notepad in my pocket - the rest of the context is on the page, not in my notebook. I know I’m not the only person out there with this issue as I’ve just spent over 2 hours searching forums and googling to try to find an app that would allow me to either convert my Kindle books to PDF format, which you can’t do without removing the DRM - which I’d be fine with doing if that was my last option, but wouldn’t it just be easier if Kindle added support for hand written notes on the pages? I don’t think I should need to buy a new device, or jump through a bunch of hoops to be able to take notes like I used to in my paper books.

Love my Kindle. It am a voracious reader. Just like my family I never go anywhere without my Kindle. I love the smell of a new book, however I was very limited on the the number of books that could travel with me. Years ago I even built a small bookcase to hold the books I wanted to take with me whenever we traveled. It could contain maybe 10 books. I knew there had to be a better way and then I discovered Kindle. I now have two Kindles and have downloaded the Kindle App to every electronic device, laptop, desktop computers, and iPads, iPhone, that I own. Kindle syncs seamlessly with them all. With highlighters, and notes features, I can thoroughly study any read, and quickly review all. I now take roughly 200 books with me wherever I go. Not to mention the money I have saved, when comparing the “print” price to the Kindle price of a book. I highly recommend it for young children, and young adults because it actually encourages reading for pleasure, or research on any subject. How else could I carry over 200 books in my pocket(on my iPhone) everywhere I go ?

Great update. Page flipping update is totally awesome. It's a great way to browse pages of a book, and then get right back to the page you were on. This app keeps getting better and better. I was starting to use the B&N ereader because it included annotation tools. Now that notes and highlighting are now on this Kindle app, I'll switch back. Now if I can figure how to archive recently read books, I'll be all set. Update: My wife recently got the Kindle and so I finally got to check it out hands-on. Whlie I like highlighter for the Kindle, and the ability to read be your notes, I think I'll stick with the iPhone Kindle for a while longer. The regular Kindle just falls flat whe compared to this even more mobile app. Plus, I really like the back lighting on this app, which u can't do with the regular Kindle. Furthermore, while the screen size of the Kindle is larger than the iPhone app kindle, it's not a significant enough difference for me. Bring some folder organization to this app and would almost be perfect.

Saves my Eyes; Satisfies my Soul. I am 89 years old, and I depend on my Kindle for the entertainment, enjoyment, and information that it makes easily available. All kinds of ebooks are available online. Select your favorite biography, mystery novel, biology text, or best selling novel, order it sent to your Kindle, adjust the light and the type size to your personal choice, and you are ready to enjoy reading anywhere. Even if you forget your reading glasses or want to read on a darkened airplane or bus, with Kindle, you can. Most magazines can also be read on Kindle; so you can stay informed with your favorite news magazine or keep up on the latest gardening ideas or recipes from magazine favorites. Kindle has you covered. Reading a book electronically does not mean that you can’t “mark up” the pages with ideas of your own. You can bookmark pages, take notes, underline, and highlight. This makes it easy to find material that you want to include in a review or discussion. I’m too old to enjoy using computers, but I find my Kindle very user-friendly. I would not be without it.

Walk the Blue Line. After reading this book I respect the police that go out and do their jobs everyday even more than I did before. People that want to defund those hard working individuals that never know what they are going to face each day or if they will be able to go home at the end of their shift need to read this. Then after they read it if they still feel the same way then maybe they ought to sign up for the job and show us where the law enforcement officers should be defunded. I doubt any of them would do the job for the pay these individuals make now. And after seeing Mr. Patterson on the recent Fox Nation Patriot Awards Show say how the New York Times wouldn’t even allow this book to be the number 1 seller even though he had the book sales numbers to prove it tells me how little truth is being delivered to the American people. I would definitely recommend this book to anyone who wants to read about the heroes that go to work everyday with no expectations of accolades or rewards for just doing their jobs.

I SIMPLY LOVE MY KINDLE. I have owned at least 7 Kindles over the years and they have changed my life. I couldn’t go by a bookstore without buying at least one book. Add to that all the books I had bought throughout my life and suddenly I had a veritable library. I love books. I love the feel of the pages, the look of the binding and most of all I loved to read, mark and enjoy the experience. Then came all my travels. And carrying around books through trains, planes, hotels and invariably loosing one. Not to mention they were taking up every inch of wall space in my home or apartment. I began donating them to allow space for other kinds of art. And then came Kindle. I blame it on Oprah, of course. 😉 I have a serious, progressive eye dis-ease now and I am able to continue reading vociferously, adjusting the fonts and light for ease of use. Can’t do that with a book! And, now my library is in my hands and I have lovely pictures and art on my walls. I still have some precious books that are marked and inwardly digested that will be here to remind me of their presence. But my Kindle is my companion.

Iron Unicorn is amazing. I really loved the depths of him. He’s more than muscles, he has a big heart, brains and the ability to think WAY outside the box. His magic is amazing, the ability to combine several different types and create intricate art mostly for his closest friend is fascinating. Princess Olivia is usually strong mentally and magically. It’s incredible that both lead characters are completely in love, probably for over a decade, yet they are oblivious. All of their friends and family are aware of it and want to wake the 2 of them up. I find that it took Princess Olivia having a seriously necessary nose surgery to correct her deformed nose so she could breathe to accept that she was worthy of love. Even after her surgery she had severe dysmorphia and couldn’t accept that she was now one of the most beautiful Royals in the Royal States. I loved the fact Terry thought her original nose was cute and her new nose was too. People seldom see beneath the surface to someone’s inner beauty. It was great that the author brought back some of my favorite couples from previous books in the series. Excellent book by Susan C./ R.J. Blain!

ONE OF THE WORST APS I'VE EVER USED. If my review was based on enjoyment of books, it would be completely different. This app takes the enjoyment out of reading. It is full of bugs. It is very slow, and it heats up my device and drains my battery. It does not matter if I have one book or 100 on it. I must often reinstall it. It might work well for the first couple of days, but then, it slows down again. It is the clunkiest app I've ever seen. It has existed for a number of years. By now, it shouldn't be so buggy. I blame it for making my battery lose its strength. When I open the app, it heats the device, and when it reads, it is very slow and laggy. If I have the app open for a while, it starts working better, but I have to leave it open for quite a while, sometimes, an hour or so. If I move away from the app to do something else on my phone, I have to start the process all over again. Don’t bother talking to customer service because they only give you scripted answers. Uninstall and reinstall the app. Except you must keep doing it. What a waste of time and energy. I have so many Kindle books, but I might have done better buying from a place like Apple, where the app does not wreak havoc with my battery and peace of mind.

Getting rid of mobi. The files I’m sending to my kindle have terrible formatting on the kindle app after sending them any other way besides mobi. I’ll just go back to the books app on my iPhone if mobi is taken away for good. That’s what opens automatically whenever my phone downloads epub files anyway. The pdf files have awful formatting compared to my current mobi files even when I select to have formatting fitted for the kindle device. If it’s not broken why is it being fixed. If I wanted to read files with new updates I’ll send them that way but that doesn’t mean you have to completely get rid of other ways of sending documents. Also the thumbnails for the files show the first page when they’re mobi but they don’t as a PDF so it’s harder to easily look through what’s downloaded. On top of all that there’s a huge delay when sending PDF compared to mobi documents that show up seconds later. -old review 4/5 I have heard you can connect it to good reads but I use my kindle for a lot more than just books and knowing when something was downloaded and when it was finished would be really helpful. Being able to sort by download date would be far more helpful to me than most recently opened. Everything else is great. — mobi is officially gone and it’s saying epub is not compatible

Love reading on a Kindle. Why? I can look up definitions of words by highlighting. I can search for the name of a character I have forgotten. I can bookmark an important page and return easily. If I look something up within a book, the page I left has an icon to return instantly to the original page. If I’m reading in the dark and I don’t want to disturb my partner, I can switch from white to black background. With a paper book, I have to have a light on. With a paper book I have to have a bookmark but with a Kindle it opens automatically to where I left off. I can share books between my other electronic devices and the program asks me if I want to go to the furtherest page. When planning a trip I can load as many books as I think l read and only have to carry the one device. Some books are cheaper, I won’t purchase a Kindle book for more than $10. I read very few magazines or books with lots of pictures because the graphics or pictures are just too small. But that doesn’t matter with so many books to choose from..

Vertical City. As my first short story collection of Fannie Hurst, this is an impressive compilation of the talent of Fannie Hurst. Her mastery of language in the inventive use of phrase and the deft lightness of touch brings a tone reminiscent of Vonnegut. Her saturation of the era, particularly the disenfranchised voices of diversity, of women and of the down-and-out, excels beyond anything produced by Edith Wharton. She is unafraid to strum the chords of tragedy and heartbreak. I have not enjoyed so much of an author’s body of work since encountering John Steinbeck as a teen. The fact of her commercial success never offset her wish to be recognized as a great writer. It’s time she was a fixture on many a syllabus. Read the stories of ‘Vertical City’ in order. Save ‘Roulette’ for the last then talk about her to a friend. ‘Lummox’ is her masterpiece. ‘Imitation of Life’ has survived through the films, but the book, beyond the brilliance of the story, has an eerily prophetic vision of the Starbucks business model. The mystery is how she can echo the heart of her diverse characters. In the current climate of cultural appropriation phobia, Fannie Hurst makes a strong case for what a creative writer can achieve.

Loving Kindle. I absolutely love my kindle app. Since downloading it a few years ago I have read tons of books. Kindle has a wide range of subjects to choose from which makes it super easy to explore a multitude of different genres. I have kindle downloaded on all my devices which makes it even easier to access anywhere in my home and on the go. I can’t imagine an easier digital platform for the book lover of every age. Kindle also keeps you updated on how many weeks and days in a row I’ve read which is pretty cool. That actually helps to encourage me to read even more. I like to see the increase in my days in a row. It makes me feel good about reading. Kindle books is definitely keeper for me and I certainly recommend it for all on the go readers for sure. Oh yeah, they have freebies sometimes too which makes the kindle app even better. Needless to say, I love my Kindle . Thanks Kindle and keep up the “book” work, pun intended. Missy Laws. An avid reader

Love my Kindle App. I love my Kindle App. Easy to navigate and book selection is amazing. Their suggested books based on my reading, have not failed me, as long as I remember what I have read through the Unlimited option. My reading insight and tracking goals is so fun! Kindle Unlimited is the best! I use it all the time. I have found a few issues with the Unlimited program and can’t find a place to voice them so here it goes ( and the reason for 4/5 stars) once finished with an Unlimited book it’s taken out of your library. there is no history of you reading it when in kindle store. Updated book covers don’t help this issue. There has been several books rechecked out and only after reading a few chapters do I remember, I have already read this! Also if you have read a box set of books, you will still find single editions constantly in your email suggestions and home page suggestions. I would love to be able to void or hide these books from my kindle store home page.

Almost perfect!. I love reading since I was a child and have read thousands of books in my almost 50 years of living. I always have a book and often 2 to 3 that I read at same time. The Kindle app makes it all so easy to pick up exactly where you left off and on my phone or tablet I have access to everything without the weight or bulk of paper or hardcover. I travel for business almost weekly, on Monday, Wednesday and Friday I am pretty much on a plane 36-40 weeks annually and often would read a 10-15 dollar paper back in that one day, no less than 2 a week. Having the Kindle unlimited account (10$ monthly) and app has allowed me access to do much more with nothing but my phone. The only caveat is it doesn't synch well between devices. If you don't manually synch from phone and go to tablet you must synch but it doesn't seem to find the page you last read. I cannot find in settings a Auto Synch that would do on day, opening app, but it's not a big deal and I still think it's a 5 star app, especially coupled with Kindle unlimited reading subscription.

Love app except…. I’m on a 236 week straight reading record that I continue to add weeks too. Since Dec 4, 2020, I’ve read every day. The only downside to this is because the app doesn’t go by the time zone I’m in, which is eastern, but instead goes by pacific, there have been days where the app didn’t think I read. So I was on a 490 streak when this first time happened. It’s happened maybe 10 to 15 days since then and now I’m currently on a 395 day reading streak that is still active. So, as you can see I love to read and own close to 5k ebooks, with many of them also have the audiobook if it was available. What upsets me is when I go to click on “Reading Challenges”, which used to be called “Reading Insights.” Personally, the insights make more sense. However, the name isn’t the issue. It’s the new setup. First, I have the app in Dark Mode for a reason as I get severe migraines. Now the Reading Challenges is bright white and really hurts to look at. The other is everything is now so small. It’s be one thing if I was on a cell phone, but I’m on a 13” iPad. How this area was designed before was really easy to navigate, it was much bigger so easier to see. Plus, I can easily find what my daily and weekly records are. I can’t even find this info under the new design. Also, for the currently quarter reading challenges, the previous way was so much better than how it now is. I can’t even access the prior way by click on the bottom link of the screen to take me to the old view. While it take me there, when I click on the reading challenges it take me to the new view now. This new view is terrible. Please put it back to how it was or allow the view to have the option to be bigger as well as a dark mode view. I gave this 3 stars for this one thing. I’ll update to 5 if this area is changed better.

Makes reading a breeze. I have trouble seeing printed pages. I was a 600 word-per-minute reader with 97% comprehension after the fourth grade. As I got older, my reading speed declined rapidly with poor eyesight. I became bored with reading because it took me too long to finish a book; I would just lose interest. Worse than that, because I was trying to read fast as I had before, I would not “see” the right word but a close approximation of it. This would change the entire meaning of the sentence. For example, I might see the word “idiot” instead of “idiom.” The Kindle App, along with my Kindle devices, have helped a great deal with reading speed, clarity, and comprehension. I can change the text size if needed, the words are much brighter than a printed page, and the words have more contrast with the background. And all of this is adjustable. Kindle has helped me continue my life-long love of reading much longer than would have been possible without it. Thanks for creating this great program!

Mykindle. I love my kindle I don't know what I'd do without it!!!❤️❤️❤️ I use it every day, it’s so worth it to get kindle. It has everything I could possibly ask for the only thing is it doesn’t tell you how many books you have total... but I have hundreds and I’m always wondering just how many I have, but if your just using this for casual use that probably won’t matter to you haha! The book selection is stellar, they have kindle unlimited which is like $10 a month and you have a whole selection of books opened up that you don’t have to buy but can borrow and it’s great if you just wanna try it out and aren’t sure if it’s as good as it sounds. (Far faster than a library) kindle books are so reasonably priced and usually the cheapest option though you don’t get the amazing book smell or the feel of the pages but it’s great when your waiting somewhere or bored out of your mind somewhere out on the town. Best thing that ever happened to me was when I was gifted a kindle :) I highly suggest it

Needs improvement. I like reading books on Kindle, but I read A LOT. I mean, A LOT. Over the years I’ve accumulated a ton of books. And even if I’m caught up in a series, if I stumble over a book that I want to read, especially if it’s on sale, I’ll add it to my library. It is hard now to scroll down through the books in my library and find the ones I’ve bought but haven’t read yet. It’d be great if we had the settings option of automatically archiving books once we reach the end. Or at least sort books so the new ones come to the top. I shouldn’t have to suggest this. It seems like common sense. And I even registered a request for it years ago and they still haven’t done it. And also, for some reason my app keeps adding Kindle accounts. I think I’m up to six or so, even though I only use Kindle on two devices. So my iPhone app no longer syncs furthest read with my iPad app. Argh. Why does it do this? I tried emailing for support but they tell me I have to call. Calls for help force me to sit there for ages on hold until someone picks up, and it seems like it takes MUCH longer to get things sorted out than if I could just get some simple written instructions. It’d be great if they valued my time.

It only allows 2 devices per book. For those with many devices it may be an issue that it may not allow you to read it on more than 2. I use my phone and tablet mostly, but sometimes I may be on the computer in school and try to read a part related to class. It told me I have to remove the book from another device to be able to access it, so there is a limit of 2 it seems. I need access to 3 devices for my purposes. I hear the books in my car with iPhone, read on tablet when home, and use it when I work on the computer in school at times. This limit of 2 should not exist as it is our digital property and devices. In my opinion, a smarter limit may be 4-5. You may also be out somewhere and need to login to someone else’s device and read. There are just so many cases where this limitation blocks access to what you have paid for. Or just make it unlimited devices and put some trust in people. We paid for our devices and digital property. Let us use OUR things!

Finding blessings in a cursed life. I was born and raised in the same country-although under different circumstances I could still completely understand and relate to Mance’s story. Her journey brought me to tears, anger and even laughs at some point. I’m happy she came out of her struggles as a hero helping those who might have hurt her the most. Unfortunately the things she and some other characters in this book went through are not only relevant to different “era” and/ or political system. Even in today’s time and completely different political system we can see same issues people go through such as domestic violence, sexual orientation, nepotism…. I guess human nature is the same no matter where we come from. The good thing is the availability of different resources that can help us heal. The book was written without “artsy” descriptions which leaves readers imagination to fill that gap. And this is why I especially loved the “Pticijak” chapter. To me it is a magical and innocent place where she can get lost in May 1st songs and fire, where she can find her closure. ❤️

Kindle Unlimited. I love Kindle Unlimited, as I read a lot of books monthly! There’s always something to read in any category one could possibly imagine. You can download 10 at a time and return at your leisure, either as soon as you finish one or after completing all of them and then download 10 more. This has been the best app for books I have ever had! I and my family have been members for several years now and plan to continue being so! As many books as I have read through Kindle, I would have otherwise had to spend thousands of dollars on buying the books (if I could have even found them) and then had to find a way to store them or donate them like I had to in the past. Kindle makes suggestions for books for you based on your history, but you can always find others that you may prefer; each title also gives a brief description of book, and if you’re not sure you can download a sample of the book first. Thank you Kindle for this app!

A huge fan of kindle!!!! Worlds greatest marital aid. It has saved me in many ways. I am an avid reader. I used to have to save more room in my suitcase for books than I did for clothes. My husband did not mind me reading but he didn’t appreciate all the extra weight. As we got closer to retirement the vacations got longer and the suitcases heavier. Just before we completely retired out came the first Kindle. I was so excited. It was a little bit pricey but when I saw that the books cost less than the books I buy normally I declared it a winner and told my husband I was going to order one. He said well I wish you wouldn’t. I said why not think of all the extra room in the suit cases. He said I Did think of that and that’s why I pre-ordered you one. So I might have been one of the first people on the planet with the Kindle. Both of us were beyond overjoyed. Since I read so much I frequently had to get the hard covered just because I couldn’t stand it. The weight. I was so desperate that one time I sort of stole a book. Not exactly but I’m sure the person it was supposed to be going to felt like I did. It would was Scarlett. When I heard it had come out I raced to the store to buy one. Unfortunately I didn’t know I had to order it way in advance. So I while the cashiers changed and then I went up and said I’m here to pick up copy of Scarlet. She said your last name, I said Smith. She said first name Cindy? I said yes and off I went with my purloined book I apologize Cindy Smith where ever you are. My beloved Kindle buyer Don passed away about five months ago. So of course my reading has increased. But back in the day I could sit right next to him very closely and read while he watched golf on TV. and racing and auto auctions the list goes on but I remained always by his side. Thank you Kindle for one of the best marital aids ever invented. And thank you Don Schroeder

Facilitates Reading!. Whether I’m at the doctors office, having a mani/pedi, in a car as a passenger riding for a bit... I find myself enjoying book after book because I always have access to reading. It’s an easy process to purchase and download whatever book I choose to read (a bookclub selection, a friend’s recommendation, a personal find, etc.) Before I tried kindle, I would start reading a book, but inevitably never finish for ages because it was just never with me when I would have the time to read :( Now, since I have my phone with me wherever I go, it’s easy to turn it on and pick up reading wherever I left off. A great feature is that I can also mark any passages/pages that I want for future reference and also love being able to look up definitions if needed. Book is always opened to the last page I was on and if I ever leave that page to make adjustments to size of font or brightness of screen, etc, page is marked so I go right back :) I could go on, but think you get the picture.... I love using kindle!

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 old school book lover who loves Kindle. As long as I can remember, I was always reading at least one book at all times. Usually I would have two going. I had no desire to give up my beloved books and start reading on a Kindle. But when my eye sight wasn't perfect anymore it became less and less practical to avoid it. Good lighting became an issue, and if for no other reason, the Kindle app on my iPad and iPhone has given me the back the ability to pick up and read whenever the urge or a few extra minutes presents itself. The ability to have so much reading material on hand is the cherry on top. And as much as I love spending hours in a book store, there just aren't the kind of book stores around that there used to be. So being able to buy most titles I'm interested in with the touch of a button makes me even happier. I still read books when I can, but far more often I read on the kindle app. This is time spent reading that I would be missing out on. I think it's the greatest thing, and it's by far my most used app.

I never thought I’d move to Kindle for reading. No, not I! I love the printed page, the book jackets and actually turning the pages of a real book, not to mention writing notes in the margins or highlighting favorite passages. However, even this steadfast book lover eventually joined the 21st century and loaded the Kindle app onto her iPad. After all, I only want to keep the classics, and my top few very favorite actual books. Not having a home library or bookshelves, what would I do with all these actual books after I’d read them? I do not like clutter and am not a ‘saver’, so I downloaded my first few books onto my Kindle app and never looked back. It’s just so much more practical to have a library right at your fingertips. If I’m at a coffee shop reading a humorous book, but find I’m really in the mood for a spy thriller, voila, all I have to do is close this one and choose another. No more leaving books all over the city: doctors’ offices, coffee shops, hair or nail salon, or anywhere else I find myself waiting and an opportunity to read. I am less likely to leave my expensive iPad behind that contains my whole life, than I am to leave a book. Also, at my age and with arthritis in my thumbs, carrying 300+ page books just becomes too cumbersome and painful for me. No matter how many pages in the book, my iPad’s weight always remains the same. Kindle books are much less expensive than real books. As a retiree on fixed income this is yet another reason to have switched. And my final reason for preferring Kindle bs printed books: when I was reading the ‘Fifty Shades of Gray’ series, I didn’t want anyone around me to know. What would they have thought to see an old lady reading those books? I may be dead, but I still have warm blood running through my veins ☺️. They say you ‘cant’t teach an old dog new tricks’, but I am a perfect example that you absolutely can.

Reading for Free. Well not exactly for free but almost! I joined the Kindle Unlimited several months back. Let me tell you it is worth every penny, By spending $15 a month reading your favorite books has never been easier. You are able to choose up to 10 titles at a time and after you read one of those 10 books you just exchange it for another title. How easy is that? It’s like having a library card without having to worry about those pesky late fines. And by owning an IPad I can carry all to tiles with me everywhere. My health is not good. I hurt 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. I don’t leave my house so going to a library is out of the question. Reading is a wonderful friend when your have to deal with that. Reading gets my mind off of how horribleI I feel. So I can say that reading has saved my life. If you are dealing with something that has the ability of stealing your sanity, join Kindle Unlimited and let a book take you on a journey into someone else’s life or read those titles that help you deal with your problems. Yes Kindle Unlimited is a life saving fantastic friend.

Best Purchase I've Ever Made. I am a hoarder. Of books. I can't throw a book away even if I've already read it and I don't like it. I just love books. This kindle has saved my life LOL. I am kind of an impulsive buyer (books are expensive) and my kindle kind of solved that problem for me. Instead of buying 15 books I think are interesting, I download all the samples for them instead and decide what I actually want to spend my time reading. For Free. Literally for free. I've bought less books, but I've read more, and I've been able to save more money and I enjoy reading even more now. One of my favorite tools on this is the dictionary. I can highlight a word and it immediately shows me a definition and an example of it's position in a sentence. One thing I've noticed that is strange, maybe it's only me - but when I read paper books now, and I see a word I don't know - my brain automatically wants to try to highlight the word and find the definition even though I can't. LOL um maybe a side affect of technology. But I like it anyway.

Better Choices -Better Outcomes. Ervin Cobb, the author of The Conscious Citizen: The Tough Questions The Average American Should Be Asking, has nailed the questions that have been on my mind lately. I admit, I never thought about what it means to be a conscious citizen. I like the way Cobb masterfully enlisted the help of the two characters, Paul and Paulette, who, like me, think of themselves as average Americans. As the couple walked through the process for considering their responses to the tough questions, I found myself testing my own assumptions. This book provided me with an approach for sorting out the data and the noise in the context of my own mindset; the approach also gave me room to challenge my thinking when making critical decisions. I was both engaged and interested from start to finish. It's an effortless read, but it is content rich with history and facts. I can see myself turning to this book often, using it as a baseline and reference for discussing sensitive topics with friends. I highly recommend this book for anyone who wants to be a more knowledgeable, engaged and conscious citizen.

I’ve got my library in my purse.. I love the kindle app. No matter where I am I always have a book or magazine to read. I love that I can adjust the type to make it more readable and at night I use white type on a black background so that the light from the book isn’t overpowering. If you come across a person or word you are t familiar with all you have to do is put your finger on it and either the definition or the Wikipedia page comes up, then tap the upper left and you are back on your page. You can also highlight things and take notes. There are a lot of great books on kindle that are very inexpensive. My only complaint is that it’s difficult to categorize the books in the app. It can be done but I wish it was a matter of highlighting the title and dragging it over to the category. I’ve been able to get some of my books into categories but I never seem to remember what to tap and how to get the title where I want it. I’ve got hundreds of books so it’s a lot of work. Other than that I highly recommend this app,

Nice but could be better. I’ve been using a kindle reader for several years, I’m now on my 3rd or 4th one. I have a pocket sized reader on my bedside table which I take with me when spending hours waiting my turn at doctor’s offices. At age 80 I do that a lot more than I like. I also have the larger Kindle Scribe in the living room for when I’m just kicking back in my recliner “chilling out”. I have it mounted on an adjustable stand with remote page turner. Yah, I know I’m lazy. All that aside, the one most important thing I see as a needed improvement is the way the library is set up. I have over 700 books and keeping them straight as to what I have is not easy with the current library arraignment. It would be nice to group my books by category, sorted/cross referenced by author and/or by series. Also, when I’m looking for a book I already own Kindle sneaks in books I don’t own hoping to get another purchase. Because of this I have inadvertently purchased a couple of books that I already had. In my opinion my library should be just that, nothing else there.

Some more functions plz. I love Kindle overall. Two of my favorite and handy functions are the dictionary and the sync to Audible! I wonder if Kindle could develop three of the following functions: one, organizing all the notes from one book at one place to allow readers to refer back to their highlights and notes to retrieve some reading memory. There can be list of books that we have read and then we just need to click to each book to review all the notes we made. The second is what I want the most, which is to allow readers to write the notes in a more user friendly way. We wouldn’t need to high light certain part of the book to type our thoughts down. The third, I wonder if there could be a button with iso phone or iPad system where people can save the searches word to a place so that readers like me can review the words more time efficiently and expand my vocabulary in the long run. Not sure if this review will be read and suggestions considered, but I do wish Kindle can keep developing and improving. You guys already did a fantastic job. All the best!

Was a 5 until yesterday. I started using the Kindle App as soon as the pandemic hit, so basically for 2 years. I love how easy it is to use. I got a Kindle Paper last year and syncing it with my IPhone App is easy and convenient. I have read hundreds of books through the Kindle app and haven’t went more than a couple days without using the app. I like that you can create lists for books you want to read. Since you can only have so many books in your library at one time, I utilized the Lists feature often to keep track of books I want to read in the future. Until yesterday, this function worked. I tried to add a book to one of my lists, and when I tried to select one of the lists, it wouldn’t work. I can see books that were added to my lists prior to yesterday, however I cannot add any new books to my Lists. Super frustrating. Cannot find any threads on line that address this issue. I deleted the app and re downloaded it in my phone but it still isn’t working. The Lists feature is a huge part of using the Kindle App so please fix this!!

I was a hard core book fan, I am converted.... At 57 years old I seriously resisted the whole Kindle book thing. I wanted that book in my hands. One night I read an intro to a book online (actually it was like two chapters!) I was sucked in I had to read immediately and finish and it said there was a Kindle App for I phone so I took a chance. Stayed up all night reading the book till the end. The kindle version cost much less than a print, it was instant gratification, but more importantly I didn’t have to fiddle with a book light charging it, changing the pages AND my hands/arms were not nearly as tired holding up my phone which came with its own light! Holding up a book, especially the bigger ones can be a drain when you are reading hours and hours. Highly recommend! I’m still a little sorry I don’t have a hard copy in my library but my bookshelves are full anyway, so... I recommend trying the app! Plus you don’t have to remember to grab your book, it’s always with you. Unexpectedly waiting at the doctors office boom there it is.

Kindle is a great way to read.. I am a mathematician. When I am studying a book on mathematics, I prefer to use a traditional text. For almost any other type of literature, however—fiction, philosophy, or spirituality, for example—I like to do a great deal of highlighting and note-writing. Kindle is perfect for either of those activities. Highlighting is a snap, with Kindle’s choice of three highlighting colors giving me the power to categorize passages as interesting, important, or supremely important. Note-writing is equally convenient and effective. Kindle enhances my reading of fiction, as well. As an example of this, suppose that I’m on Page 250 of a novel when I encounter a character who, I am certain, has appeared before but about whom I’ve forgotten. All I then have to do is to search on that character’s name to be shown every spot in the book where he or she appears. In short order, I’m caught up on the character and his or her role in the story. Kindle has revolutionized my reading and studying. I recommend it to all readers.

TERRIBLE New Highlighting System. I was just forced to reinstall my iPad Kindle app for the third time this year because it keeps becoming buggy after a while: crashing, not opening books, or becoming incredibly slow to open a book (several minutes!) or highlight text. This new version inexplicably encumbers the previously-streamlined highlighting system for no apparent advantage. It now takes 2-3 times more "clicks" to highlight anything. First, the lookup box now pops up in a VERY large tab only from the bottom rather than discretely above or below the text you just highlighted. What that means is you now have a 50-50 chance of the text you’re working on being covered up by the large tab! If the text is covered up, you have to click on the page OFF the tab to make it disappear. This also means you can’t click and drag to highlight a section of text all at once; you have to click to make the tab disappear, and then continue dragging. Now, the highlighting: Instead of showing you all four colors and letting you highlight with one press, you now have to click on it to bring up your four color choices, and then click again to choose the color you want to highlight with. A minor additional gripe is that to delete a highlight the button to do so is now a check mark instead of an X which I find unintuitive and a wholly unnecessary change. Kindle really needs to have real humans test their changes before they let them out the door and foist them on paying customers. I read a lot of nonfiction and as a result do a lot of highlighting, and I found absolutely no advantage to this new setup. There is no option to turn off or change the new lookup tab or highlighting system. This, on top of having to reinstall a broke, wonky app. Incredibly disappointed in Kindle today.

Don't like the changes. First let me say I have always loved this app I prefer using it to read my books but I don't like the recent changes to backgrounds. I'm an older reader and these changes have made it very difficult for me to use your app. I read several hours a night and used the black with white option most of the time including during the day. I cannot use this background since the change to blue lettering. I can't see the lettering. Yesterday I had to use Libby to read my book. In past I have only used Libby to read books published only in epub form. With these recent changes I'm sure I will need to use Libby more. Hope you will change this background back or at least give another option that would have the black background with white lettering. Also have found that I can't change the layers option. The color on the background I seem to be locked in doesn't stay the same the longer I read the lighter the background gets. This is not working for me any more. I have always recommended this app but probably won't until becomes more useable for me.

Kindle App for use with iPads. I thoroughly enjoy using the Kindle app with my iPad. I appreciate having the ability to increase the text size and darken and lighten the background lighting. I utilize the dictionary features when I come across a word I’m not familiar with instead of having to look it up in another application. I read on both my iPad and my iPhone and love the fact that I can sync my devices to the farthest page read. I also like the way that many venues utilize the Kindle application as I have been able to check out books from the library using the Kindle app. The only negative is not being able to borrow digital books from other Kindle users like you can with hard copy books. I have actually loaned my Kindle Fire to a friend so she could read from my library, however, this is not really practical as the electronic devices have so much other data which you may not want others to have access to. If there was an option to share electronic books with others, I would give the Kindle app a 5.

Reader’s Necessity. I started with a Kindle device several years ago and was absolutely thrilled when the app became available. I no longer have to carry an additional device now that I read whenever I want from the convenience of my phone! It is my most used app. I wasn’t pleased with the update that no longer placed recent books on the opening page (including pre-purchased). I have so many books in my library that I sometimes forget which I’ve read or what I’d like to read next based on the most recent in a series. It’s inconvenient to have to go online to review my account. If you are an avid reader, Kindle Unlimited is a must have. I can’t imagine not having my books readily available. With the Kindle app I no longer have to find space in my home for books. I especially like that I can share some of my favorite books with friends with the book loan feature. The Kindle app also allows you to sample books and search through their vast selection of genres. The Kindle app is a must have for readers of all ages.

Updated 8/2 Fixed :) - Need to reinstall & restart. It took over a month but thank you. So far my app is working again. Back to 5 stars! I recommend if you have an IOS device to uninstall and reinstall. I also restarted my device. It didn’t work until I did all that. I can now access without having to use my browser. Kindle has always been my go to with unlimited, prime and magazines right there! My frustration is over. Please don’t let that happen again :) please be more diligent if it doesn’t work for IOS users, I use mine all the time. (Previous) Been patient since last update, App keeps crashing on iPhone when opening. I pay for unlimited and it’s really upsetting that I can’t even open the app. I get that updates aren’t always great but a lot have left reviews about crashing and not being able to open. Take your reviews serious. Normally it’s my go to because I pay for unlimited, need to rethink that if this doesn’t get fixed quickly. I’m paying for books I can’t access. Disappointing, and that’s being rather nice right now.

Good but could be better. The app runs smoothly and beautifully. Everything is easily accessible and I really enjoy the app with its in built dictionary that makes it convenient to search up unknown words. The flash cards allow me to review past terms and expand my vocabulary, but at the moment it is quiet tedious having to go in, create new cards, and define every word. It would be wonderful if there could be a function that would automatically create the card for you. For example, highlighting a word, clicking a symbol, and then finding the card in the flash card section. The use of flash cards are limited to the books in which the cards are created. If the decks are accessible separate of the book, capable of being used without having to go into the book/ stored in one huge deck, it would be more useful. Also I’m not exactly sure of the purpose of collections if I am unable to search in those collections. These new additions would make the app much more efficient and user friendly, but at the moment it is still very well done.

Kindle. I read every day, so naturally I enjoy my kindle account. It’s so handy, easy to take 20 books with me when I travel. I check my free book clubs every day, and if I find something I want to read, I easily download it with a few clicks. Same with library books. It’s easy for me, and that’s saying something for it. At the age of 81, I’m not exactly a computer whiz. It easily adjusts to the lighting and font size I want, so my eyes don’t get tired. At night, my pad rests on a pillow, a touch of a thumb turns the page. I don’t have to hold a heavy book up, or fight the crease in the middle. When I go to sleep, the book doesn’t fall and lose my place! Some people say they don’t want a screen, they have to have a real book and turn real pages. Real bookworms don’t care about appearances, they want the content, what the writer is saying. I just finished “City of Girls”. It was so well written, the characters so real. I got lost in New York in the forties, among the actors in a small dilapidated theatre. Kindle is a real book....many books.

Kindle Fire vs Kindle app on iPad. I’m fortunate to have both a Kindle Fire and an iPad. Rec’d my old Fire as a gift in 2012, and have gone almost completely to e-readers since then. I thought I’d miss the feel of the book, but my arthritic hands are grateful for the change. My new, 2017 Fire is lighter and easier to hold than the old one. I have books for my granddaughter on it, and I’m comfortable handing it over to her because I don’t have a lot of other ‘stuff’ on it. We do occasionally watch videos on it, and that’s easy. The app I have on my iPad works well - probably equal to the Kindle, itself. I tend to read it from the horizontal position, and enjoy that the font size is so easily adapted. It’s a little more difficult (for me) to use to read in bed - extra weight & bulk - but if my granddaughter & I are both reading, it’s not a big deal. I guess the bottom line is that I’m a confirmed e-reader and doubt I’ll go back. Convenience, ease of book purchasing, better price on books, being able to sync between the two readers... it doesn’t get much better than this.

Phenomenal & yet can always improve. I absolutely love my kindle. I have the older paper & white which doesn’t have the USB -C. Also not sure if the newer version has this function which I believe is what they can improve on… is the ability to save the vocabulary into a file in a cloud and/or on the device. I have a hard time w/ either spelling and/or definition; so it would be great to have that function saved somewhere so the reader can remember certain words. Maybe the newer version kindles already have this. I just know if I look up the words outside of my kindle in a separate dictionary app, I am able to save those words I look up, which helps me test myself so I can learn those words faster. Oh and the pronunciation spoken on the device would be even better. I know it does that on my iPhone when I read kindle on the smartphone, but it would also be great to have that ability on my Paper & White Kindle. I’ll buy a new one if it has those functions! Otherwise, I don’t see a need to ever upgrade unless of course mine breaks down. 😊

Good. Except For Dark Mode And Hyphenation.. I used this app, then tried iBooks, and have to say that the Kindle app is a lot smoother in terms of its functions (such as defining words immediately when selected) and customization. And I like that you have the option of reducing clutter, so that you can have a truly minimalistic reading experience. The only thing I have to point out is that the dark mode isn’t consistent. I read at night, so I use black pages and such to help reduce eye strain. When I go to add a note to a highlighted passage, the screen goes glaring white. And when I go to the settings, the same thing happens for me to update my preferences. On iBooks, when you have it set to dark mode, literally everything is darkened, so there’s no sudden “blinding white light at the end of the tunnel” syndrome to detracts from my midnight readings. Oh, also, there’s a lot of hyphenation. Like, a lot. The Kindle algorithm seems to really prefer hyphenating words over some other reading platforms. I wish there were an option to customize that feature. I personally would like to have zero hyphenation (like on Wattpad, for instance).

Love it. Little back info, I used to read all the time so many books and then after I had children and I stopped reading for the most part. I would just get too busy and too distracted with daily life. I would occasionally read, but never could actually get through a book. I purchased kindle unlimited a year ago in August and I have read every day for an entire year it’s really cool because it keeps me excited because there are goals and you can set your own personal goals not to mention just seeing the numbers go up every day that you read is so much fun. even if I just read 15 minutes a day, sometimes .I’ve read over 80 books this year. I’m I am on track to read almost 100 this next year cycle. highly recommend. I think it’s easier because we have our phones or devices all the time and tend to lose track on them doing other things and apps. Don’t get me wrong. I will always love physical books, but it has definitely been more convenient to use my phone.

Moving with the times. My bookaholism has left me with no space for more bookshelves. E-books are now my preferred medium, despite several limitations. The worst is the frequent loss of illustrations, or poor quality of illustrations in e-books. Also, one must resign oneself to garbled words, although I have lately realized that I am like the reader of medieval manuscripts, always on the lookout for copyist errors. Romantic, but fairly accurate. Be sure to read the one star reviews, which will warn of the omission of entire portions of the original print copies. Everything changes, said the philosopher. In my case, I no longer need to build new bookshelves and I carry hundreds of books in my iphone. A word of advice about iphones. I discovered on a recent flight from Dallas that the complete text of many of my books was stored in cloud. Be sure to download any books you plan to read on the flight before putting you phone in Airplane Mode. I suppose one might pay the airline for internet access, but I'm too frugal for that.
