Read comfortably day and night with adjustable brightness and background colors. Go to the Aa menu in your book to get started.

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.

- 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.

This app used to be amazing with whisper sync. Now, it constantly glitches. I have to restart several times to get audio book to load. When it does, it's often back at the beginning of the book, and I have to hunt for where I left off. When it works, it's awesome & autostarts w the car. Mostly, it doesn't work. I have to stop the car, close the app, reopen the app at least 2x (it says book needs to be downloaded again), then find my spot. Generally, I can't stop, so can't listen. Frustrating!!!

It's one thing to monopolize library books. But if you get distracted from your reading and have to do something else for two minutes or more, when you return to the app its UI is broken--the visual at the bottom is cut off below the phone screen, and your page is one to two away from your actual last reading spot. Rebooting the app will fix the bottom ticker, but that will take you even further from where you left off reading. It's been several months without a bug fix, so here's my complaint.

The "bug fixes" consistently introduce new bugs. The app refreshes constantly which causes the screen to put a black bar at the top, pushing the page down instead of resizing. More often than not the store doesn't work and isn't searchable. There is noticeable stutter every time the app opens, every time a book is opened or closed, and every time a new menu tab is selected. Scrolling horizontally needs 2 vertical swipes to free up for vertical scrolling. Poorly optimized app.
