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.
• Hop, skim, and jump with Page Flip. Flip between pages or get a bird’s-eye view of your book with Page Flip—don’t worry, we’ll save your place.
• Zoom in on high-definition color images in Kindle books, magazines, comics, and manga.
• Sync your books across devices. When you’re reading a book, the Kindle app will automatically sync where you left off—along with any bookmarks, highlights, or notes—so you can start reading on one device and pick up where you left off on another.
• 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.

WHY CANT WE BUY FROM THE APP THE BIGGEST THING MISSING!!! Seriously you have to open your laptop or kindle if you see a book you like can’t even download FREE books! It’s an ok app but not the best e-reader app out there as it’s missing a few key features like a button to skip the the next chapter (sometimes I want to skip sexy scenes) every other e-reader you can press a button and it goes forward this you have to to press back for it. After getting my fire tablet I’ve brought a lot of kindle books and have sorted them all (500+ books) into collections some under author some under type of book but when I load this app they aren’t in order there’s no collections so it’s harder to find the book I’m reading coz it doesn’t seem to be there and I have to search for it. This lack of sharing among devices lets it down. I have spent days sorting it out the last thing I want to do is do it all on here. Especially as these personalised settings aren’t saved anywhere and if my fire stops working I’ll have to do it again. In order to be better next chapter button should be added and settings and collections should be saved and shared among devices to save time.
