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.

It closes randomly while I'm reading and I lose progress on my book even though I'm online. The audiobooks don't work a lot of the time. If I don't open the app when connected to the internet, I will sometimes lose the audiobook completely and need to redownload when I have internet access again, which is not useful when I use the app so books and audiobooks are portable. I don't lose lines of text with large font sizes, which happened with my kindle.

i love Kindle! I do miss the feel and smell of real books, but as I have aged, and grown weaker, it's harder to hold them for long periods or to turn the page while holding the book. A big plus is that I can have 30 or 40 books on Kindle at one time, but not have clutter, and not have to deal with bookmarks falling out and not remembering where I left off! it's not just for you g people, it's good for us oldies as well!
