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.

I have the Kindle Unlimited Membership where I can download, and some of the books have the Read or Listen for Free option. So on my clean the house days, I prefer to listen. But, ever since the last couple of updates, I have had to navigate to Sync to get the audio. It never used to be this way. I would open a book, and the audio would be ready to go. And most recently, it will only read through halfway. Frustrating. I thought updates were to make it easier, not harder to use.

When it works, it works great, but if you every face an issue, the solutions you are given are less than useless. One reoccurring issue is if you leave kindle and go back to the app for whatever reason. The page will shift down just a little. Anytime I press on the screen again it will shift up and then shift down again. You have to force close the app and open it again for it to back to normal. It's very annoying. Audiobook whisper sync is also terrible. The audiobooks won't load sometimes.

All the escape I could possibly need, in whichever size font I need, in the day or night, glaring sun or blackout dark, in a device lighter than my phone but equally as portable. I use it more than my phone, or any device, including the TV! It's a brilliant concept and I don't know what I'd do without it now. The app is quite intuitive, but I don't use all the functions available - I do particularly like the series being grouped, the read from unread and pre-orders appearing automatically.
