It's not quite as advanced as the Amazon device itself, but Kindle for Android is, nevertheless, a great way to enjoy eBooks on your Apple phone. You can do it with images, so I find it strange the developer couldn't add the same function for writing. Hit the 'More' button and you can search the word in Wikipedia or .Īlthough the Kindle for Android interface is nice and simple, I was really hankering after a pinch feature for quickly zooming in on text. To do this, you just need to hold your finger down on a word or phrase then choose 'Note' or 'Highlight'. Just like the real Kindle device, Kindle for Android lets you add annotations and highlights to your books. The 'Go to' icon in Kindle for Android aids navigation, allowing you to jump to the cover, the table of contents, the beginning or to a specific location or bookmark.

For instance, you can add bookmarks, change the font size, and alter the color of the text. Tap the Menu button and you'll get a bunch of other options that can enhance your reading pleasure. To flick through the pages you just need to swipe your finger left or right.

Simply tap on the cover a book to start reading it with Kindle for Android. I am pissed off.Kindle for Android also lets you buy ebooks from Amazon using the link within the app, downloading a trial chapter, or grabbing one of the Kindle books you already own (these are automatically backed up by Amazon). Apple and Amazon have gone to far with their controlling users. I cannot afford to buy a new mac let along pay for upgrading all my apps just to run on 10.10 on my 4yr old iMac. Would you trust Apple and Amazon now? I live on SSI/SNAP due to disabilities am born with. So content I have in my Amazon account is forever locked up out of my use until I upgrade my Os and the Kindle app. And on sep.15th the app on my iMac will no longer work at all anymore. Senior Amazon support staff explained that Apple requested Amazon force all Mac kindle users to upgrade to the 10.10 before they can use the latest Kindle app. You can check the Kindle version number by choosing 'Kindle' from the menu of your app and then selecting 'About Kindle.' Please see our troubleshooting pages for Kindle for Mac if you have any other questions. You can easily download and install the latest version of the Kindle for Mac from our download page on Amazon. Our latest update (version 1.11.0 or above) is still free, and includes important bug fixes that are required to continue using the app.

It's time to update your Kindle for Mac app! We appreciate the time you've spent reading with our Kindle for Mac app, but you have registered a version on one of your computers that is out of date and scheduled to be retired by September 15. Would like to share an email I got from Amazon a few days ago:
