On the bus, on your break, in your bed—never be without something to read. The Kindle app puts millions of books, magazines, newspapers, comics, and manga at your fingertips.

FIND YOUR NEXT GREAT READ

GO BEYOND PAPER
Turn your phone or tablet into a book with the 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 follow links to Google and Wikipedia 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.

User reviews
Every time I download a new book and its audio version, the sound and the page lines don't match up. I have to uninstall and re-install Kindle to get everything to match up again. This has been going on for years. Lately, if I leave a book that's attached to Audible, when I return to the book, there's no audio unless I close the app. Then I re-open the app, and I'm supposed to download the audio. I close and open the app again, and everything is normal.

Wish I hadn't updated the app to this buggy version. Of all the problems, the worst one is that the behavior of the device “Back” button has changed when the user is browsing lists of titles in the Kindle store. In previous versions of the app, that button mostly functioned identically to the “Back” arrow at the top of the app screen, taking the user back one step. But now, it kicks me out of the app entirely, so when I forget out of long habit and tap it, it takes me forever to get to my place.

This app is really buggy. I really dislike that when you are reading a book, it skips pages. It makes me feel like I'm not reading those pages. Plus I have to refresh it every time to get the margins to go back to normal. Even with a bigger screen it skips a bunch more pages. You really need to fix this issue.
