GO BEYOND PAPER

-Turn your smartphone or tablet into a book with the free 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 use the Google and Wikipedia links to get more information.

- Track your reading progress. See what percentage 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, 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 eBooks, comics and more

- Sync your eBooks 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.

I love reading Kindle books along with the audiobook books. The link between Kindle and Audible has been broken for months. I can't see the cost of audiobooks to pair up with Kindle books I own through the app anymore. And half the time when I try to play the audio in the app, I get the "assistive reader" thing instead of the audiobook. It ruins the reading experience.

I've had this app for years and it's been fantastic. However, this past week or so I've been experiencing loading issues. The app will not load and I am unable to search for books. I just get a constant loading screen when both opening the app or attempting to search. I have checked for updates (none available) and turned my phone on/off multiple times to no avail. I didn't have this issue prior to the most recent update, so I'm assuming it's a bug from that update. Hopefully they fix it soon.

I love using the Kindle app, but the dictionary and translation features really need work. The dictionary often lacks depth and variety, especially for non-English words. The translation tool is basic and sometimes inaccurate, and there's no option to switch to a better engine like Google Translate or DeepL. It would be great if Amazon added more dictionary options and better translation support in future updates. Thank you
