The Kindle app puts over 1.5 million books at your fingertips. It’s the app for every reader, whether you’re a book reader, magazine reader, comics reader or newspaper reader—and you don’t need to own a Kindle to use the app. Choose from over a million Kindle books or enjoy popular magazines and newspapers, such as The Economist, The Spectator, The Guardian and The Daily Mail, with high-resolution colour images.*
• Read Books — Choose from more than one million e-books including bestsellers such as Pride & Prejudice or Treasure Island and new releases and over 200,000 Kindle-exclusive titles that you won’t find anywhere else, including books by bestselling authors such as Phil Rickman.
• Use the Built-In Dictionary, Google, and Wikipedia — The Kindle app has a built-in dictionary that allows you to look up words instantly while you’re reading your e-books. Simply press and hold a word to view its definition or use the Google and Wikipedia links to get more information.
• Sync Your E-Books — The Kindle app lets you read the same book across devices and syncs automatically, so you can start reading on one device and pick up where you left off on another device. The app syncs your furthest page read, bookmarks, notes and highlights between Android, PC, Mac, iPad, iPhone, iPod touch and any of our Kindle devices using our Whispersync technology.

love kindle unlimited - it allows me to read so many books for only a minimal payment each month. unfortunately, if they keep raising the price I won't be able to afford it much longer so please keep that in mind Amazon! also, it's BS we no longer truly own things we paid for, which is why 3 stars. I need to know why this app doesn't show up on my phone. I haven't been able to find an answer anywhere. I hope someone is able to help me out so I don't have to go into settings first and then open.

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.

This seems the only way to show how disappointing it is that Amazon is now refusing to allow digital content downloads. I know I'm only a drop in the bucket, but I will no longer purchase any book for Kindle again and my hope, is to avoid with all possibility, purchasing anything through Amazon. When we pay for a product, even a digital one, we should have the right to read in whatever format we choose. This is greed, plain and simple. And it's wrong.
