Kindle is great, but Kindle Unlimited has made it AMAZING!!😍😍📖
I have always been a bookworm but times are tough, I can’t afford to go buy books to read right now, especially considering I can’t reread something I’ve already read. I can’t get into it if I know what’s going to happen, so I definitely can’t afford to spend the amount of money they now cost to only get use one time.. Plus I have “feral kids” (if you know, you KNOW but if not, look it up😅).. but Kindle Unlimited allows you to pay so much per month & “borrow” as many books as your heart desires, read, return, & replace with another good book that sparks your interest. And there are all types of books too, healing, self help, thriller, psychological thriller, fantasy, etc. Memoirs, etc. I highly recommend “If You Tell” by Gregg Olsen. It’s a memoir its a true story but be forewarned that it isn’t for the weak, these people went through horrible things, be ready to cry like i did. 🥺 it was beautifully written, & these victims/survivors NEED their story to get out there & the mom is being released this year and they want everyone to be warned, this woman may kill again.
Anyways, if you’re wondering if you should get it or not, here is your sign:
DO IT, & GET KINDLE UNLIMITED. They offer a free trial to show you how great it is so you can try it for free and read a months worth of books for free! Thank me later, you’re welcome.😊

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. ❤️

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

The Traveller’s friend
I have basically got rid of my hard copy library these days except for the Giant size atlases and etc. The convenience of having my whole library wherever i go cannot have a price on it. Highly recommended.
Reading is still my preferred delight of all my hobbies. As an 81 year old having my Library on my iPad in the Kindle App is sheer bliss. Always at my side night and day, home or away. A fraction of the cost for hard copy books makes the Pension go further.

My kindle is lost. My new iPad refuses to recognise the app. My phone only scrolls I don’t like to scroll I prefer to read a full page and tap to get the next one.
My lost kindle should reappear when we move into our new home. I love it so much. I had cataracts at 50 and it enabled me to continue reading. Now I still read a larger than average font size. I think my brain has become used to it. But I miss the original button to turn the page.
Better still in the winter I use an iPad stand to keep my kindle still on my chest. I wish I had a remote control button to turn the page so I could keep my hands warm under the duvet. That would be great. Every time I visit the eye hospital, numerous Patients’s requests amazed that the font size can be changed. You are missing a big audience. But they may need a simple version eg the writing notes keypads are almost impossible. I’m doing this on my phone. I wouldn’t be able to do it on my kindle. A simple version for young and old might be a great idea.

Pls don’t write reviews for books here.
Great app I love it, allows me to read on the go as well as download books so I don’t use my data.
But from my understanding you can review books in the shop under the book title, that way the reviews show to someone think of purchasing said book rather than people thinking of downloading the app. Make the most out of your reviews and put them in the right place please.

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!

Kindle on iPhone
A great application. As the iPhone is always in my pocket the app. Is always available to open up my current book and fill in any spare time. My only concern is mixing up that even when connected to the internet, it will not allow me to buy from the App Store. I have to buy and download from my kindle.
Other improvements are required in the collections part of the app, namely an automatic folder to store titles whichever are not allocated to any other erfolder(pending the decision of a suitable permanent folder) and the forability to create sub-hfolders.
Of secondary importance is the poor quality of the editing of some of the stories. Gender errors ie he/she and her/him etc. are distracting. Likewise mixing up character names can be very annoying.

My Lockdown Savior
It is exceedingly rare for me to find a book that grabs me right from the very beginning.
I actually find reading very hard because of certain developmental and learning difficulties.
However this one had me hook, line, and sinker from the very beginning. I am currently on Chapter 4 (I think) and I have a favourite competitor aside from Tobias.
Ma only struggle is what accents they have. So far it hasn’t been explained and so sometimes they are American, sometimes they are British…
I am in New Zealand, doing a long lockdown, and this has been MY Savior.

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.
