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.

For reading only, this is a great app. For those books that are read along and audio, the audio will not play if you if you don't have some sort of network connection, even though both book and audio book are downloaded. Shiuld be able to.l kisten to the audio when off line too. Also, the audio book will only read a few pages, then stop. Have to close and reopen the app/book to get the audio to start again. Like I said for reading only, this app is great audio hook not so much.

The Kindle app on the phone I wish had a text to speech option. Like on my Kindle Fire and my paper white (although that one has more problems than the fire). I'm dyslexic so it is good to read and listen at the same time. It was a game changer for me when the first kindle came out. I miss that kindle it was the best one for people like me. I still love them. I just wish the text to speech was on the phone app and that you could scroll while you read on the paper white.

Highlighting needs improvement, It has been on going. Once I switch to blue, I am stuck. The problem is I use multi color highlighting and need to be able to switch. I have to delete app and reinstall in order to be able to switch back and forth. And now I can't highlight at all. As of right now may 18 2024 things are much better. Back to 5 stars.
