Huge Learning Curve

Kindle is SO hard to figure out! Amazon SELLS books to users to figure out how to use it. How to locate books, how to delete books read, on and on and on. BOO!

Highlight

Highlight options needs updating. Needs to be changed where the words are the color not just a big block over the text. I have a free bible that does this so I know it has been done and bought into existence. While making this change also Intergrate neon colors. It’s nothing more painful then highlighting a noun and want to change the color of the adjective and verb, and finding you can only use one block colored.

Good

If only all the books were free I get that you have to make money from it but in general why should anyone pay for books. You have libraries which are literally free and the only thing about this is that people are too lazy to go to the library. Anyway good app no ads!!!

Assistive reader is not working properly.

The speed setting on assistive reader is reading at 1x no matter what speed I put it on.

Great

It’s a great app

Can’t use or open the app

I’m not really sure what is going on but this kindle app is not opening and won’t let me access it but Amazon sure know how to take the money off of my card every month! I called them a the rep I was talking to hung up on me. So if I could give a no star review I would.

Always used Kindle.

Still love it years down the road. Simple and easy.

Nice

It’s better now.

Complicated to purchase book!!!!

It’s not letting me purchase from Amazon or Kindle and it’s stuck on the sample of the book!!! Can’t find where they show my charges!! Again! And it’s showing up as sample, not purchased! It’s crazy! Make it simple and purchases on Kindle, not on Amazon and then have problems finding the book or with charges!

Passwords

I use kindle often, every-other day, for Amazon books, from the library. I constantly have to update or change my password. Pain in the bum and hard to track.

French learners paradise

I’m really enjoying using Kindle again. Convenient and portable with a great selection of French books to help me improve my French.

Makes reading easier

My eyes don’t work as well anymore so reading on a kindle makes it easier. Plenty of books to choose from.

Slow

Small size seemed like a good buy 15 years ago but even w Software Updates, machine is

Bad updates

This was a reasonably functional app until a recent update made the font size change unreadably every time you pinch to close. Ugh!

Lost books

I’ve been happy with kindle but for some reason most of my books are not shown on my iPad. Very frustrating.

Love!

It’s what got me back into my passion for reading and I have not been disappointed with it at all. My only complaint is I can’t justify buying all the different types of kindles. Will always be my favorite thing!

Horrible redesign keeps getting worse

I have been reading with the Kindle app since 2013 and have never had a problem with it until the recent redesign. In addition to being less efficient and inelegant, now all sorts of problems are coming up, like the typefaces changing size. Other users have commented on the new banner blocking the bottom of the page with the most superfluous prompt ever: the last book opened. Please stop “improving” what used to be an excellent app. I have invested in books and am now wondering if I have wasted hundreds of dollars on an unusable product.

It’s great. Please stop asking

Fabulous

Deslize

Esse livro eh perfeito, eu to apaixonada. A dinâmica dos personagens, os subcasais, tudo desse livro eh perfeito. Nota mil.

Surprising tale

Narration is excellent and keeps tension right on the edge. Character development is uneven with some suddenly taking over while other important characters temporally disappear.
Overall an excellent, enjoyable read.
