GO BEYOND PAPER Turn your iPhone or iPad into a book with the free Kindle app—so you can read anytime, anywhere. Explore these reading features in the Kindle app:
• Read your way. Customize your text size, font type, margins, text alignment, and orientation (portrait or landscape)—and choose whether to turn pages from left to right or continuously scroll. Read comfortably day and night with adjustable brightness and background colors. Go to the Aa menu in your book to get started.
• Look up words, people, and places while you read. Breeze through words you don’t know and characters you can’t remember with the built-in dictionary, X-Ray, Wikipedia lookup, instant translations, and search within your book. Simply tap and hold a word to view its definition, or use the Google and Wikipedia links to get more information.
• Track your reading progress. See what percent of the book you’ve read, real page numbers (for most top titles), and how much time you have left in the chapter or book based on your actual reading speed.
• Bookmark places you want to revisit, and make highlights and take notes throughout your book. Open My Notebook to see all your notes in the same place.

• When you can’t read, listen. Switch seamlessly from reading your Kindle book to listening to the Audible book, all within the Kindle app.
• Get notified when authors you love have new releases.

Amazon Kindle: Reading App Positive Reviews
I love this appThe 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..MLTedescoVersion: 6.3.1
KindleIt works great once you figure a few things out! Better than I suspected. Will get more digital books for my study!.TillwehavegloryVersion: 6.32.1
Indigenous ResearchI 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..EMirastyVersion: 7.11
Handwriting with Apple PencilI 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..MUSICHIENVersion: 6.16.1
Incompatability problemI 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..Annabel RVersion: 7.4
Were to fined booksIt 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!.Karu1960Version: 6.30.2
Passable but disappointedWhen 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..HypersoupVersion: 6.85.3
Great AppIt’s a great app, but you can’t buy books on it... you have to buy them on Amazon first.Nickklein99Version: 6.33
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 ).AnonymousweareVersion: 6.67
Assistive readerThe 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..Zw12344Version: 7.21
Lost my reading history and annotationsWith the last update, I’ve lost all of my annotations. I’m hoping another bug fix update will restore them..SMPH98Version: 7.52
Trés bonne AppJ'aurai donné 5 étoiles si Kindle pour Mac synchronisait en temps réel, son contenu avec Amazone Kindle en ligne..FEUPS1Version: 7.48
Should be able to buy books through the allWhy can’t I buy books directly in the kindle app? It’s irritating to have to use the Amazon app and then switch back..Wynken250Version: 7.30.6
Complete EBook ReaderKindle 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..JayaJaiVersion: 7.18
Library at your fingertipsI 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..ShaunaMBainbridgeVersion: 7.18
Keeps FreezingMy 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..YdidoitVersion: 7.7

Amazon Kindle: Reading App Negative Reviews
The update that took 7 years to makeSo 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..AlfredjingleVersion: 6.85.2
No split screenNo split screen option on IPP so it useless for work or study.Realsupernickname1Version: 6.3.1
Doesn't recognize that there's a world outside the USI 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?.Canadian DocVersion: 7.0
Very poorThe 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..ReadingadictVersion: 6.69
InconvientCan’t purchase books from app very inconvient.Canuck2747Version: 6.37
TerribleDoesn'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.Unhappy Kindle readerVersion: 6.85.2
Worst UI possibleNothing 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..BacondogVersion: 7.4
New KindleSUCKS. 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..Extraordinarily grumpy old manVersion: 7.1

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!.GerwyncanadaVersion: 6.53
Worst way to return kindle unlimitedI go to kindle, no options, I go to Amazon, no options, it tells me to go the web, that’s alright I guess I think foolishly, I then proceed to have no way to cancel. This is a dirty move to keep you sucking amazons teet with subscriptions and wade you off from canceling..YtfffgggggyuuVersion: 7.51
I love it BUT the list issue is hugeI’ve been using kindle for years now. I really like it, but what is the point of giving your user the ability to create lists? But then you can’t access the books in it. I have to log on to my Amazon account on safari just to see the books on my lists??? Defeats the whole purpose of trying to sort my books through my lists why even give the option?. Clearly the people working on this app don’t use it at all and do not care about user experience..List issue with kindleVersion: 7.36
No reaction when tapping “my lists”Cannot access my lists.Ih131Version: 7.36
Saved List Not UpdatingThe saved list is not updating in the app but it is updating directly online. Very frustrated..TanyaFrostVersion: 7.35.2
Loved the app until the recent updateI’ve been using this app for years and use it several times a day to read. However, since the recent update it freezes on the book’s cover, and if it shows the text at all it crashes immediately after. This makes the app unusable and makes me unable to read my books.Iris1166Version: 7.35
Hate this latest update!Every time I open the app and select a book, it freezes on the title page, and I have to uninstall and then reinstall it!.CAlexisRexVersion: 7.35
Removed Options to download fileIf we are buying a licence and not a book than the marketing is deceitful and predatory. I highly recommend people use other services that allow ownership of the products..AlexW1992Version: 7.25.1

Increasingly unreliableI keep running into crashes, freezes and syncing bugs during the last couple of years..00000000amVersion: 7.7
Major sync problemsIf 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?.Kenned3Version: 7.7

Latest update won’t open on my iPadThe 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.Day2dayfunVersion: 7.4
Bug fixes don’t stop screen freezingWhy 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.Sno irritatedVersion: 7.1

App keeps closingFor 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..SdsmckeVersion: 7.0
