Amazon is eager as ever to keep its Kindle apps up to date. Their latest endeavor includes releasing a new version of the Android client, which can now read Kindle Format 8 files. Moreover, Kindle users can now access a larger assortment of illustrated children’s books, comic books and graphic novels. In fact, there are more than 1000 children’s titles to choose from, including Brown Bear and Curious George, as well as popular comics such as Batman and Superman. Plus, there’s also richer formatting in thousands of other Kindle titles. The other new feature of Kindle for Android is support for Send-to-Kindle, allowing you to access documents you’ve sent via email to your Kindle reader, whether it’s an Amazon-made device or just an app for a smartphone or tablet. Needless to say, all documents sent this way are stored in the Amazon Cloud so you can access them whenever needed. Kindle

Amazon has once again updated its Kindle app for Android with few tweaks here and there, as well as some bug fixes under the hood. Version 3.4.0 is smaller to download, while also including page numbers. As a result, you’ll be able to track your reading progress using numbers that match the real book. Not sure why it took so long to implement this seemingly simple and must-have feature, but the good thing is that it’s now live. So what are you waiting for? Simply tap the Android Market icon, and update your Kindle app from there.

Amazon has recently updated its Kindle app for Android with few important features. Perhaps most notably is the support for PDF documents, allowing users to have a single app for all their reading needs. But wait – it’s not that cool actually. You see, when you read PDF file in the Kindle app, you can’t use bookmarks, highlitghts or make notes like you would in ebooks bought from Amazon. We hope that will change (improve) in the future releases and in the meantime there are other dedicated PDF readers you could use (like ezPDF for instance). In addition, Kindle’s Android client now supports Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich phones, which at this moment means only Galaxy Nexus. Plus, there’s a new option to control margins and line spacing when reading a book on your smartphone. Finally, several bugs have been fixed to make the app even more stable… Kindle remains the

Amazon's recent update to its Kindle for Android app brings an important change by allowing native support for reading PDF documents. Unfortunately, PDF support, as it currently stands, is fairly barebones. Aside from being able to view PDF documents, zoom, and turn pages, the app does not have any other features. Indeed, unlike ordinary ebooks, the PDF portion of the app does not support bookmarks, highlights or the ability to make notes. The 3.3 update ties in nicely with yesterday's announcement from PDF software maker Foxit that Amazon had made an investment in the company. Although Kindle devices natively supported PDF documents since 2009, reading them has always been a little cumbersome. Hopefully, Amazon's investment is an indicator that better support is on its way. The update also brings support for Android 4.0 (Ice Cream Sandwich) devices and customization options, including new margin and line spacing control. Head on over

Summary: To help you sort through the deluge of apps, here’s a list of 20 tried-and-true Android smartphone apps that are worth your time to download. Another one of the great things about Android (if you’re a geek or a tinkerer) is that you have lower-level access to the system itself. Astro is an app that lets you navigate the Android file system, which is mostly just interesting, but can be handy once in a while. I’m obsessed with running speed tests to check my bandwidth in various places, both to see 3G/4G fluctuations and to check the quality of Wi-Fi. There are a number of really good speed test apps, but my favorite is the Speedtest.net app. It’s generally consistent and it has some of the best graphics and options. I’ve never completely warmed up to the Amazon Kindle e-reader, but I’m a big fan of the Kindle mobile app.

The one on the left is the new layout. Those screen shots are Amazon’s, taken from the Kindle Android Market listing. Please don’t assume that Dan Brown novels take up any space on my phone.

Call me an early adopter if you must, but count me in with the millions of people who have fully embraced Google+, Google's latest attempt at a social network. I am really digging the Circles paradigm, where you're invited to group up your friends and colleagues into separate circles, so you can fine-tune who you choose to keep in touch with. I also find the interface clean and intuitive, and I have to give props to Google+ for being much more privacy-aware than a certain other competitor. One of the best things about Google+ is its Android app. Just download it from the Android Market, and within a couple of taps, you're ready to go. The mobile app is well designed, and you can switch Circle views by just swiping left to right. It's also easy to check notifications, and posting photos couldn't be simpler.

As Apple's iBooks app approaches its first birthday, we thought we'd catch up on the best book apps currently available, and we don't just limit ourselves to typical print book e-readers. We've chosen the best across Android and iTunes, with some apps compatible with Windows Phone 7 and BlackBerry phones too. To start with; when we think e-reader, we think Amazon’s Kindle. Aside from the app’s clever ability to sync your eBook collection across smartphone apps, Kindle devices and your PC. Amazon’s whispersync feature even allows you to synchronise bookmarks, notes, and the last page you’ve read. No other e-reader has the sheer heft of Amazon.

These are my favorite Android apps and while there will be a few additions and removals over time, these apps have earned a spot on my home screen.

Remember a few years ago when there was always that one weird person without a cell phone? “Who doesn’t have a cell phone?!?” Fast forward to now, and it’s, “who doesn’t have a smartphone?!?” Up until a few months ago, that person was me. (Hangs head in shame.) But now I’m a card carrying member of the 21st century with my beautiful, new Android myTouch 4G! And I don’t know about you, but the minute my feet left the store with my new phone in tow, the first thought in my head was, “oh my god, what apps do I download?” Honestly, it can be an overwhelming process, especially if you’re new to the app world as I was.

Amazon to develop Kindle for Android App It is reported in New York Times that Amazon has recently disseminated some new information of employment that they are looking for Android software and hardware designers. And these persons are to work for Lab 126, which is the department responsible for developing Kindle. Lab 126 has added more than 5 positions relevant to the development of Android, which shows that Amazon is to develop other products of Android. And this will form the base of Kindle for Android, since Amazon adopts Linux in Kindle. Such information aroused debates. Some people consider that that Amazon seems to offer a new Kindle for Android between tablet device and readers to fight against Nook Color. But some others believe it’s just because Amazon needs people to optimize its reading software. As a budget-priced light reader, Kindle sells very well. But with iPad 2 and some other

Worth Reading? +5 [5 votes] There’s talk going around that Amazon may be looking to take completely redesign the Kindle platform and base it on the Android OS. According to posts in the New York Times Blog, Amazon is looking for Android developers for “Lab 126″ which is Amazon’s Kindle development unit. That would make for a very interesting development and may signal Amazon’s concern that the NOOKColor is suddenly very popular with Android geeks looking for an affordable tablet option. There’s also the fact that with Amazon’s Android App Store that the book seller may simply be looking to evolve the Kindle to take advantage of Android apps they sell. There’s some positive and negative aspects to this possibility. First off, the hallmark of the Kindle itself is that it has amazing battery life due to it’s passive liquid crystal display that doesn’t rewrite the page until it’s “turned.” This

OK, so the Android Market is more akin to Lidl or Asda than the iPhone's enormous, indulgent Selfridges-at-Christmas time approach, but the open source nature of Google's OS means there are plenty of apps for Android to be found. And best of all, most of the good stuff on Android is free, thanks to the work of developers who do it for love alone. So here's our pick of the top free Android apps you should install. You can also check out our video of the top 10 free Android games 1. Seesmic There are many Twitter apps on Android - and Twitter itself shook up the scene with the launch of its own-brand app recently - but we're sticking with Seesmic. Offering support for multiple accounts, a home page widget showing latest tweets and an incredibly slick and professional design, it's one of the finest examples of app development out

But pick them we did, and you can see them – and download them – right from our epic guide right here.

Finding stellar Android apps isn't the easiest task, but that certainly doesn't mean they don't exist. Here's the cream of the crop. Twitter: The official Twitter app is good enough for almost everyone. Along with giving you a clean, easy way to keep track of your timeline and updating your status, Twitter for Android also has a snazzy swipe down to refresh feature. Free. Facebook: Facebook is finally decent on Android and now actually brings some unique features, namely the front page side-scroll of friend's recent photos and a pull up notification window. Free. Google+: It's Google's big soiree into social "sharing". The app has it all: a stream that shows what your friends are talking about (like Facebook), Huddle which is an easy to set up group chats (like GroupMe) and will even automatically upload the pictures you take on your phone to the cloud (like iCloud). Once you get

This is a coincidence. Only last night we were mundanely tweeting about how much we enjoy using the Android Kindle app, which, when combined with an out-of-copyright book database like Project Gutenberg, means access to a virtually unlimited collection of classic novels for free. Today, Amazon has announced a rather more up-to-date arrival – access to Android specific versions of newspapers and magazines via the Android Kindle app. At least, we think this is a new feature. Amazon emailed us about it this morning and we don’t remember seeing it before when trying to buy papers on Kindle – just a warning that newspapers weren’t available on the app versions of Kindle. The selection of newspapers and magazines available on Android Kindle at the moment isn’t great, mind. As usual, it’s a rather US-oriented range, with only the likes of the Spectator and Economist offering the UK editions – and a

With the ubiquity of the always-on smartphone has come a boom in people reading everything from blog posts to classic novels on their phones. Amazon's Kindle ecosystem has been building out support for those small-screen readers, with free apps for iOS, BlackBerry, and Android. The Kindle for Android 2.0 app (free, for Android 1.6 and later) is one of Amazon's best, offering an immersive reading experience, syncing of books, bookmarks, and notes with all other Kindle platforms (smartphones, Kindle devices, PC, Mac, and Web), and access to Amazon's enormous ebook store. Thanks to a recent update, the Android app also supports newspapers and periodicals, on both a subscription and single-issue basis. Amazon's usual file support limitations apply, but the Android experience is an superb one for the Kindle fan.

Amazon has rolled out the latest update for the Amazon Kindle for Android app with a lot of new features and improvements. With the version 2.0 update, you can access hundreds of e-newspapers and magazine titles and browse through more than 750,000 books in the Kindle Store. One of the most usable improvements with the v2.0 of Kindle Android app is that it does not eat up your phone memory any more. Now you can install it into the SD card to access your Kindle books even without the Kindle reader. It needs your Android device to run Android 1.6 or higher to run it smoothly without compatibility issues. An additional feature of this version update is the power to zoom the text and pictures just by tapping twice on the screen of your touch enabled device. Giving a more ‘social’ dimension to your interactions with the Kindle books, the new

Continuing its neverending march to platform ubiquity, Kindle will officially be available on Windows Phone 7—though maybe not in time for launch. So far Amazon's just saying that the app will be available "later this year," and that it'll come with some unique features including personalized book recommendations on the home screen and the ability to suggest books to friends without leaving the app. Neat!

Amazon has announced two new features for the Kindle - the ability to lend an e-book and making Kindle newspapers and magazines readable on the free Kindle apps. Kindle books are already available on the free apps as per its Buy Once, Read Everywhere mission but newspapers and magazines were not, so removing the restriction will bring them into line. It will mean Kindle periodicals can always be read even if you don't have your Kindle with you or don't yet own a Kindle. The facility will be available initially "for many newspapers and magazines" on the Kindle apps for iPad, iPhone and iPod touch with Kindle for Android and the other apps being added later.down the road.

Amazon VP of Kindle Dave Limp suggests that the Kindle app will come preloaded on “other [Verizon] devices” in the future, as well; however, there was no mention that it would appear on Verizon’s version of the Samsung Galaxy Tab.

Your Android is supposed to keep you instantly connected to your digital life. It can do that, but it needs some help. These best-of-class applications make sending files, syncing music, swapping web sites, and other phone-computer hook-ups so much easier. Even though Android allows for removable SD card storage, and is a lot more open than the iPhone when it comes to file storage, very few people carry a USB cable or micro-SD converter card everywhere they go. Nor should they, since these apps make it easier to send files and ideas between two different screen sizes. After you install Dropbox on your various laptop and desktop systems, then add the Android app to your phone, you'll occasionally wonder why USB cables still exist. Simply place a file in your Dropbox folder (or elsewhere on your system), and it shows up on your phone. Dropbox on Android also comes with built-in

The Amazon Kindle was responsible for sparking this fledging market, and since the kindles release there have been many competing eBook readers released. One of the drawbacks to the Amazon Kindle was originally the high retail price, so naturally it was profitable for Amazon to design a digital application as well.

These devices are excellent but do come at a price so it would be nice if there was a cheaper alternative out there.

It's official: Barnes & Noble has launched its Nook for Android app. But how does the bookseller's new e-reader for smartphones stack up against Amazon's Kindle for Android? Here's a quick comparison. Both apps are free downloads at the Android Market. During setup you'll have to register with either Amazon or Barnes & Noble before using that vendor's app. The programs sport a similar look. An opening screen lists the e-books in your library and provides access to a Web store where you can order (or sample) more titles. To access the Nook bookstore, for instance, you touch 'shop books' in the upper-right corner. Once you've downloaded an e-book, the title appears in your library. Whether you're using the Kindle app or the Nook app, reading is intuitive. To turn a book's "pages," for instance, you simply flick the screen with your finger, or tap either side of the display. The

by Don Reisinger Google Goggles, which is available for free in the Android Market, is a must-have for any Droid X owner. The service allows users to perform visual searches from their phones. So, rather than inputting text into a search field, Goggles asks users to take a picture of something they want to find. The app then analyzes the photo and delivers Google Search results based on that image. It works quite well in most cases, but it should be noted that it's still a work in progress. Startup Auditor could be one of the most useful applications for those folks who want the most control over their operating system. The app, which costs just $0.99, allows users to enable and disable other applications. It also determines which programs will start when the phone is booted. And considering Android is subject to some security problems, Startup Auditor might be nice

July 08, 2010, 8:06 AM — It was way back in December 2009 when Borders first announced that it was partnering with Kobo for its e-book store, and the service finally launched yesterday. Amazon has the Kindle, Barnes & Noble has the Nook, but Borders has opted to offer a range of dedicated e-readers. There's the Kobo eReader for $149, the Libre eBook Reader for a very affordable $119 (though do note it's an LCD display, not E Ink, and its available only for pre-order as of today), and the Sony Touch ($169) and Pocket ($149). The Kobo seems to be the 'flagship' model and Borders is throwing in a $20 Borders Gift card and "Double Borders Bucks" if you buy now. So for effectively $129 you get an E Ink e-reader, though you'll have to sync books onto it via a USB cable; there's no wireless connectivity. The Borders e-book

Music subscription services never quite struck gold with Internet users, but now that the smartphone is becoming the era’s standard listening device, a new gold rush is on. Established music services like Rhapsody, Pandora and Slacker continue to improve mobile service, but they are suddenly facing new mobile music competition. Depending on a person’s phone, budget and listening habits, the new services may be a better call. The services seem to be converging on the same target — namely, apps that let users hear personalized radio stations, build play lists and store songs for offline listening. No service has all of these features for all mobile platforms, but they are making progress. Rhapsody’s Premier service ($10 a month), for instance, is great for iPhone users, good for people with Android phones and useless on a BlackBerry until Rhapsody’s BlackBerry app arrives later this summer. Users can create play lists or listen

The Good: Whispersync provides instant access to books previously downloaded to a user’s Amazon.com account, as well as synchronization of the last page read, bookmarks and other annotations; the price is right - free. The Bad: You probably wouldn’t want to read a whole book on your phone.The Verdict: Kindle for Android is the perfect supplement (a/k/a time-waster or boredom-filler) for those users with Kindles, or perhaps those who enjoy Amazon’s multi-platform support and synchronization (Kindle, Mac/PC, iPhone/iPod Touch/iPad, Blackberry, Android). Kindle for Android joins a vast array of platforms supported by Amazon.com’s Kindle e-book service, including obviously the Kindle hardware, Mac and PC desktop software, the gambit of touch-sensitive Apple devices (i.e. iPhone, iPod Touch and iPad), and Blackberry. Kindle’s Whispersync system keeps books downloaded to the user’s Amazon.com account (both purchased and free) synced across each of the supported platforms. Upon first use, the user needs to register the

Borders today launched both an electronic book store and two handset clients — for BlackBerry and Android 2.0 devices — as it tries to compete against offerings from Amazon, Barnes & Noble and Apple. According to Reuters, the new Borders eBook store boasts 1.5 million titles (both free and paid) and lags only behind Amazon in terms of volume. And similar to Amazon, Borders is embracing e-books as a platform across multiple devices, rather than taking Apple’s approach, which currently limits its e-books to iOS4 devices only. Will following in Amazon’s footsteps guarantee the same level of success for Borders, currently the number two brick-and-mortar bookseller in terms of overall sales? Om believes that it’s Amazon’s game to lose, mainly because the retailer understands online sales world like few others — customers trust Amazon and its one-click purchase method. Still, the company may not be the guaranteed winner in this market: Barnes & Noble

The Kindle book reader has finally made its way to the Android Market, giving Amazon a nice bundle of mobile apps. While iPhone users have had a number of high quality readers for their phones, Android users have been left with fewer selections. Here are some ebook readers Android users do have to choose from. Kindle with Whispersync offers mobile access to your Amazon account, Kindle books and recommendations. The free app lets you purchase and read any Kindle book, also tying in with your Whispersync account. The app isn’t as robust as the iPhone version, but it does expand the ways in which you can access your Kindle content. Kobo is another Android newcomer. It’s free app offers a searchable library of books to read on your phone. Flipping through digital book pages is easy, and custom settings make for more comfortable reading. The library here is still growing, though

Despite the speculation that the Kindle app was not going to be available until later this summer, it has just become available in the Market. As far as features, if you are a Kindle user on any other platform you will already know what to expect. But for those new to the Kindle experience, you will be able to read ebooks as well as shop in the Kindle Store where you can purchase books and even get free sample of books. Additionally, the app will work in both portrait and landscape mode and page turning is done by either a tap or a flick of the screen. Other goodies include adjustable font size, the ability to add bookmarks and Whispersync. Of course, that last feature, Whispersync is going to be most useful to those also using another Kindle app or a hardware Kindle because it syncs your bookmarks and notes so

The battle for the eBook / eReader market continues to heat up – Kindle for Android has come out of beta is now available in the Android Market (requires Android 1.6 or higher). On your phone, just go to the Android market and search for “Kindle” and read away! This is of course a real boon for Android tablets, as it puts what many people consider the best book reader onto the Google platform. How this will impact what Google does with it’s own eBook play, Google Editions which should be out this summer, we’ll have to see. At any rate, if you have one of those large 4.3″ screen Android phones right now, this is just about a must have app. Of course, for only $189 now, you can just go and buy the Kindle itself, but if you’re an Android fan (and are just waiting for a killer Android

by Starting right now, Android owners can download a free Kindle app for reading e-books on their devices. With the newest class of 4.3-inch-screen Androids about to flood the market, we couldn’t imagine a better time for releasing this app on the Android Market. Both the immensely popular HTC EVO and the upcoming Droid X have the large screens and high resolutions that just scream “digital media,” whether that media is HD video or a good book. The Kindle Store currently contains more than 620,000 books starting at $9.99 each. You can preview the first chapter of a book before you buy it, and you’ll be able to customize the screen and font colors, screen brightness and font size to make your reading experience as comfortable as possible. Like the other Kindle mobile apps, Kindle for Android saves and syncs your books and bookmarks across all your devices. In addition to

No Kindle? No problem. Amazon is quickly expanding the reach of its electronic books business by offering its Kindle application on PCs and mobile phones. On Monday the company took that approach further, announcing the release of a new Kindle reading application, called Kindle for Android, that is available as a free download for phones running Google’s Android software. As with other Kindle applications, users will be able to download books they have started reading on other devices directly to their mobile phones and save their place across other devices using Amazon’s Whispersync system. This new announcement puts Amazon farther ahead of its competitors in offering a read-everywhere experience. For those who do not want to buy a Kindle reading device or don’t want to carry it everywhere, there are Kindle applications for all versions of the Apple iPhone, the iPad, PC and Mac computers, BlackBerry cellphones and now a range of Android-powered

Android phone owners are no longer left out of Amazon's e-book party, thanks to the Kindle app that landed in the Android Market late Monday. Kindle for Android offers many, but not all, of the features iPhone owners currently enjoy, including automatic synchronization between devices, adjustable text size, annotations, bookmarks and portrait or landscape modes. Missing from Android's Kindle app are text search and in-app book purchases, but Amazon told InformationWeek both features are on the way. There's no word on whether the app will get audio and video support, both recently added to iOS devices. It's too bad Android users had to wait this long, but now is an important time for Amazon to add support for Google's mobile platform. Android phones are selling well, with record sales for Sprint's HTC Evo 4G, long waits to get a Droid Incredible and a first quarter in which Android phones outsold Apple's

The Amazon for Kindle application is coming pre-loaded on the Samsung Galaxy S, but you can grab the application now on other Android devices. The Kindle for Android app is now in the Android Market, providing access to 620,000 e-books. Non-US customers should be aware that not all books will be available to them because of licensing and distribution issues. However, those who already have a Kindle account and an Android 1.6 or higher device can log-in to read their treasured works. We got a quick preview of the Amazon app while at Google I/O and we were impressed (video demo is below). Kindle provides a phone-friendly format for reading ebooks, bookmarking the last read page through Amazon Whispersync, and allows users to adjust text size, color, and brightness. That will obviously be useful when reading your favorite books, newspapers, and magazines that offer content in Kindle for Android.

Amazon has released Kindle for Android, which provides access to the more than 620,000 titles in the Kindle bookstore. Like the Kindle software for other platforms, the Android version supports Amazon’s WhisperSync feature, which allows users to read on one device and later pick up where they left off on another. The application also adds local bookmarking, reading of notes, text sizes, background colors and brightness. Books cannot be purchased in the application, but tapping the Kindle Store option opens a web page to Amazon’s Kindle bookstore. Loading Picture 1 of 7 I’d call the Kindle for Android software welcome and usable, but not a fully featured solution. Although displays are typically small on Android phones, some folks will want the ability to highlight text or create in-book notations, and those features are missing. The ones that are present work well — I was reading a book at lunchtime on my iPad

Summary: Amazon release a Kindle App for Android. Meanwhile, a Wall Street analyst downgrades Amazon over concerns about Kindle. Amazon said today that its has released its free Kindle reading app for Android-powered devices, furthering opening the Kindle platform to other platforms but also raising some concerns about the long-term survival of the Amazon’s Kindle e-reader. The app, available for download in the Android Marketplace, is the latest to hit mobile devices, with Kindle apps already available for BlackBerry, iPad, iPhone and iPod Touch, as well as Windows and Mac computers. The Android app includes Amazon’s Whispersync technology, which saves and syncs books and bookmarks across the various devices. For now, the Kindle app is just a reader but additional features - including full text search and the ability to purchase Kindle books from within the app - will be added soon. Separately, Susquehanna Financial Group analyst Marinanne Wolk cut her

Been bullet proof app for ages then this week i open my book, read about a page then it asks me to register again. If i don't the app quits. When i reopen it and register, all my books have vanished and i have to download again. So frustrating. Fix please
James
This app used too be great! Since the updates the cover art looks great but the app has become twitchy often causeing a force close siituation. Also it no longer sinks very well. Hopefully they will clear up the bugs soon so it can return to its previous glory!
Mumin
Kindle can read MOBI files if you put them into the kindle folder. I love reading on my Android more so than my Kindle device because the letters are so crisp, I can invert the colours and read at night, and I can wrap my hand around my Android and read wonderfully. I LOVE KINDLE SO MUCH!!
Timothy
My notes and bookmarks are missing. This has happened several times, possibly after downloading new books. What's happening? My notes, highlights, and bookmarks add personal value to my books greater than the original purchase price. I've put valuable time and energy into them and cannot continue to use Kindle if they get periodically "vaporized." Also, word spacing if occasionally off, i.e. some words have extra spaces within the word. Example: occasio nally.
Scott
The newest update made this app incredibly slow! Opening the app now takes 20 seconds to a minute. Also, book covers don't show up anymore. It used to be clean, fast and great. Very unhappy! Droid X
Teresa
Didn't think I would like reading from a cell phone but larger screen makes for great viewing. I get caught up on my books when I'm on the treadmill yea! And appreciate selection of free ebooks thx much.
Are
Usually fine app, but lately I am forced to log in every time I start it. ICS, SGS2.
Ann
Every time u download a book you are putting people out of work. It is because of lazy people that our book stores are closing. What about those peoples families? Are y'all to lazy to pick up a book to read or is it your to lazy to leave your couch.. Come on people think about your small business owners. If you put them out of business what are you saying about yourself. Your saying I do not care for our economy or anything else for that matter.
Sarah
Only problem I've ever had is badly formatted books. Not the apps fault though. So easy to use and great at night because of the backlighting you have from cell phone.
Ian
Great app as you would expect but crashes or slows my phone (Samsung Galaxy W form the carrier 3 in the UK) to the point where I can't use it.
bwatson
Kindle app for Android has issues sync'ing between devices. I purchased an actual Kindle device early last year, and I bounce between my Kindle Keyboard, and my Kindle for Android. About a month ago or so, I noticed that when I would read from my Kindle for Android app, the furthest page information was not being sent out and would not sync to my other devices. I contacted Amazon Kindle support, and they confirmed that is currently an issue and will be resolved in a future update. To workaround this issue, you must perform a manual sync OUTSIDE of the book. Performing a manual sync inside the book is not sufficient. With the Kindle app open, but not inside a book, click on the "On Device" tab along the top. Not click your menu button, and you will have an option to sync from there. This will properly send out the furthest page read information and your other devices will then pick that up. Once this issue is resolved, I'll fix my rating.
paul
Fails to load completely locking up device. Only way to resume is reboot the device.
Mike
I paid for my device. Verizon and Amazon have no right to put this on my device without allowing me to remove it.
Love the kindle but works better on my phone the my notebook. Read alot and try samples of books, but have to backspace though everything that i have looked at to get to the home page!!! Usually download and shop on my phone and will read on my notebook.
TK
... does a good job once it gets to it. I like the choice of backgrounds- sepia's easier on the eye than glaring white. Nice app, just wish it'd start faster.
nancy
Worked great originally...but won't open for 2 weeks now...I'm done!
Marc
Last update ruined it, it wasn't bad before that. I have a lot of personal stories and docs I convert to MOBI and have in my Kindle reader and it used to work fine but now everything shows up as unknown and i have to unauthorize my device and then reauthorize it to get them to show up properly. It would also be nice if you could give the Kindle the ability to read subfolders within the Kindle directory so that those of us with a lot of books and documents and who like to keep things organized can organize them how we want on our device.
Tom
I'm using a Droid X2 and kindle is locking on the splash screen nearly every timei try to launch the app. I know the recent update was supposed to fix this, but i'm still having trouble and can really only make the app work after a battery-pop restart...and only if kindle is the first app I run. I love the kindle reader on my iPad and on my Droid (when it works) and the sync feature is great between those two devices...please post another update so I can use it more reliably on my phone!
InkedPreacher
No longer keeps my progress. Every time I open the ap I am back to page 1. Switching to google books.
Jack
This app is good for readers who love to read on the go without having to use your kindle. If your kindle dies or breaks you don't have to stop reading. If you don't have a kindle taken you can just buy the book off your Amazon (on the kindle store) account and use cloud reader on your laptop (no.download necessary) or just read on your mobile cell
Laurette
However, a rather large number of my books aren't showing any cover art.
Kenny
Refuses to load on my X2 now. I have been try for 3 days with no success....

Since the last update it doesn't save my place anymore. Takes me back to front cover. :( 3-23 would be 5 star if I didn't get the forced close with every other update.
Kelly
I've been using barnes n noble app for the longest time, then I came upon this! I feel like I've been cheated or like I'm cheating :P I was desperately waiting for a sequel and found out I can get it through Kindle. When I opened the app, it was like, tada! I feel like I've been under a rock, had no idea this app was this good, totally surpasses BN app.
Dawn
I love this app, but I only have time on Sundays to do my reading,and it would not open at all today grrrrr.... This is the first time this has happened with this app. It has been wonderful besides this one problem, please fix
Dee
Have been dieing to read a book with kindle app. On my Samsung tab. . .good news I have the book. . .horrible news, all the app does is either fail to start, freeze up, crash. . .ugh!
Melissa
Kindle is a great app use it all the time but after the last update which is to fix a crash issue I didn't have I now have that exact problem please fix it
John
An adequate book reader that does the basics very well. However, it doesn't have the ability for the user to place books into user collections / groupings, nor search by category or tag. As a book collection grows, this missing functionality (which is available on other book reader apps) becomes more important! Add the missing functionality and I'll increase my rating.
Justin
Fantastic app great development, easy to use and astounding volume of titles available. I read at night on my phone, and the white on black view option with the screen dimmed appropriately is good. Could I plea for an addition in view option to disable the soft key lights? That would be fantastic as this app turns them back on from being off. Thanks.
Jennifer
With latest update, app crashes upon opening. Then it slows down the Tab, and ultimately forces a shutdown. This was a great app before, please repair.
Sifou
you know we are getting it, you think that we can't read? yeah we can't pay but we can read. dump

ThNk you kindle. Now just make an audio book add on for the cellphone. HTC sensation customer. This app is perfect for any decent to large screen size phone
shante
It's a pretty good app. I can read on my kindle fire & when I'm out i can pick up were i left off at on my phone. Only thing is when i read on my kindle my phone won't pick of were i left off & so 90% of the time I'm trying to remember were i left off at it will not sync.
NaKeitha
The kindle used to be the best app on my phone and now I can't even get past the welcome screen because it crashes now... Please fix! I was reading a great series...
Nikki
I love the flexibility of being able to read the same book on multiple devises. The only problem with this app is that when you're looking at archived items it doesn't give you the option to see the most recent purchases. This is very important for me because I have over 200 books already. Its hard to remember unless I'm by a computer and can log into my Amazon account to check. Otherwise great app!
Neill and Su
It would seem that all the titles listed are 'not available in your country'. I am in the UK!!! Am uninstalling.
Lori
If I ever get a kindle, I'm sure I'll be happy. I love being able to bookmark on phone then read where I left off on my ipad! Best of both worlds
David.ca
Love it especially the way you can look up words on the spot. Wish it has cool page turning transition effects then it will be perfect
Michael
U can change the brightness & buy books they always have free books. Overall I use this as my kindle device & love it - EVO3D
Gnometal
I love having access to so many books on my phone. Especially free books. It is however a little slow loading at first. It also REALLY NEEDS a two finger zoom for graphics and such. I can't read any of the charts in the books I've bought.
Jim
Went through the first few pages of the free selection of books...Not one came up available in my country, Disappointing app
butterflytata
Love it ..Where does is have text to speech? Otherwise what not to love !
Julia
Doesn't drain battery nearly as fast as I thought it would on my android phone and tablet. This is very good. I was against any kind of e-reader until this one. It blows nook and all of the others out of the water. I have purchased several books and their free selection is impressive. Thank you.
Ryan
Read the entire Twilight saga on my Droid X. It had only taken me two weeks on my phone, one year ago. They do have some tech books, but I wish they had reduced e-books for college! If they did that, it would be awesome... going to class without 50lbs. of dead weight!
Mark
Since updated, it won't move to SD Card. Takes up a lot of internal storage. Please fix and put it back to how it was.
Pslat
I am so sick of this app. Every time I open it to try to continue reading I have to sit here looking at that stupid yellow text for 10 mins until os tells me the thing is not responding.if i press wait I can eventually get my booklist but I'm so ticked off I don't feel like reading,I paid for this book and it is a disgrace that you can not provide an app that works properly
Ralph
It keeps force closing! I will put it back at 5 stars when fixed. HTC Droid Incred. Os 2.2
Carla
The app occasionally erases all my progress. Doesn't sync accurately using Samsung Galaxy S2 when Galaxy is furthest location read. PC version works great and this app works great when side-loaded on Blackberry Playbook.
Brady
This app actually seems to be better on my phone than my tablet. On the tablet, the line spacing and margins are far too large, at least on this device. These values can't be customized, even though can be on the Kindle Fire's equivalent app, and I *thought* they could in an earlier version of this. Edit: +1 star as margins and line spacing are tighter now, making this much more useable. However, you still can't customize them. You can do so on the phone version, and on the Fire. Why the discrepancy?
Darren
Latest version is rubbish my phone freezes. Don't update I warn you. Email amazon and they havnt done anything.
anne
Totally unhappy! Used to use this app all the time. Now its completely nonfunctional with the newest update. Gets stuck in the loading screen forever, then force close. THEN everything else on the phone gets super slow. NOT HAPPY!!
Samantha
First it kept refusing to sign in, and now that I've updated it, it keeps insisting I force it closed... Completely useless now :/
Rhonda
There was a book I was looking for in my local bookstores and both of them said they had to order it and it would take a week. I got my new LG Thrill phone and saw the Kindle reader I download it and did a search for the book. The book was available so I downloaded the book within seconds...I didn't have to wait for it to come in the mail...so far so good and very cool! I now don't have to carry a book around cause its on my phone...
Mike
There really needs to be a way we can create collections or folders for books so I can organize them into sections for my kids, for me, for cookbooks, etc. Other than that it works fine.
brit
Love having this app, I actually don't own a kindle I downloaded this on my phone and iPod touch after I waited too late to purchase a book for a class. I cant speak on it compared to kindle but I would love to see more fine tuning in design app feels "clunky" if that makes sense but it gets the job done
Sean
Annoying "recommended reads" notifications pop up at random, and lack option to disable or even the X to clear away the notice in Blur's launcher. Tacky. You don't get to run your spammy advert when your app hasn't even been launched.
Betsy
I love this app but when I had my blackberry I was able to see what books other customers had bought, and on the Android i'm not able to do that. So once i've finished a book I absolutely loved I can't go about and find a book just as good so easily, by setting what else people have bought, and I would find so many books that way, if they could add that function to the Android version of the kindle then it would definitely be a 5 star app
Reallyethical
Kindle app would get full stars if it was a little more stable. Great app though.
N'yot
I don't have the option to rent my free book from kindle as an Amazon Prime customer. Add this to the next update. I will continue leaving this review until it's done.
Stacey
I absolutely love this app, but ever since the latest update, I am unhappy with how long it takes to load my content when the app is launched. :-(
This app is good. Whispernet is as always amazing. But i also have a real kindle, and the experience is just so pure . The whole point of the kindle was to be as similar to a book as possible, and this just feels wrong on my tablet...
Dara
Awesome app big font small font big book little book whatever you want it is HERE on this app! If you want a good book to start with try all three hunger games book hunger games catching fire and mockingjay by suzanne collins amazon kindle + hunger games series = AWESOME times one million!

Kimberly
I think this is super cool. Bc even though it may run the battery low, I can read from my phone. So I an impressed.
C
I love the ease this brings. If you have to wait and do not have your tablet this is great, because most people don't leave home without their phone.
Christine
I love this app. I have the Kindle Fire and i use this app on my android tablet and phone. No matter what device i am able to pick up from where i left off. It works perfect on the asus prime. Only thing i wish this did was allow me to categorize the books that i have in my library. Maybe allow me to create different folders. If this is possible and i don't know it can someone please let me know please. Thanks.
EL
After update I can't even open. Droid first generation
Christian Simon
I really love this app. You can not only read and buy books from amazon but also can you use a lot of other formats like PDF and so on. It would be great if you could replace the % with real page numbers :-)
Lydia
I think kindle is good but most of the good books arennt free they cost allot
J
Cannot stand the new design that came with the update...runs slower, isn't nearly as welcoming to the eye, and it isn't as user friendly!
Fporter
Kindle on my Captivate is very slow opening if it opens directly to a book i was reading. Very, very slow opening to library. Once a book is open, page turning is ok however the margins are off--page is not centered on screen. Also exiting is very slow and phone is slow for a while after.
andrea
This is more crappy that Verizon is forcing me to have on my phone. I don't want this garbage. You are wasting space on my phone.
Anu
No problems on my Tmobile GS2. Love the read the first chapter free and customize your reading features.
Rich
Very limited control of brightness and other viewing preferences. Easy to lose your place. Awkward to buy book after downloading sample Restrictive. Success based on monopoly.
crazyhorse63
On my Samsung S2 this application is excellent, but on the Arnova G2 tablet series the top 2 lines are hidden by the status bar. Sort that out and this application would get full marks.

im not a huge fan about reading , but I do get bored once in a while do why not read a book on the go?? just pull your phone out and read as ny book u likee! A-W-E-S-O-M-E APP!!!! :D
Reijo
Is far too big for a reader. Move to SD or refactor the app. Otherwise, four star app.
Tabitha
I will never give up my paper books, but this is wonderful for on the go. I noticed a review on here that mentioned the screen being too bright at night; I found my solution for that was to change the pages to sepia tone in the options. Worked wonderfully!
Rob
Great app. Great selection. My kindle broke, and Iike that I can still access my library here. Google Books has one advantage, though ... two columns in landscape mode. I'd love to see you add that for tablet users.
Brian
I love this thing. UI is great, doesnt drain the batt at all, the best part is after u have downloaded the dictionary u can just highlight a word and it shows u the definition right there, even with no data signal.
Laura
I love this app! Sometimes the sync feature has issues but I always find my place easily.
Mark
Why should a reader app have access to any user's phone info? I am uninstalling this app and encourage others to do so until Amazon changes policy.

Wow!! Finally my eijiro is back!! I love this v3.5.1!!!! -- I love this app. But v3.4.2.4 crashes every time I launch the app, if I put my EJ132 mobi in the book folder. Actually I have a Kindle keyboard but I 'd like to use this app occationally. I should not have updated the app because it could run with the mobi before. It's enough for me that Amazon simply provides older versions officially. I know I can find some old ones unofficially but it is too dangerous to install such things.
Jasmin
Please fix this...my tablet stops responding then asks me to force close then my device reboots.
Mike
The new update is terrible. I continually get force close messages. It sometimes takes three to five minutes before a book opens. Before the update, this application was great. Now it stinks. It also affects Gmail, music, etc. and slows them down and creates force close issues. A Verizon rep says the app is making my phone freak. I want to give this zero stars, but am forced by Google to give it one undeserved star. The whole experience is making me consider getting an iPhone.
David
Wouldn't let me read my books because it required that I have wifi to log into amazon. Uninstalling.
Sasha
kindle developers are f@cking idiots!
Markus
Tried this out for the first time when receiving a link for a book to buy. The fact that you can kindlize any device like this without having one - AMAZON-ING. The 'save your spot' lock is another great feature regardless if you have more than 1 device reading the same book. % complete reading -- nice if you are reading more than one at a time and want to compete.
Patrick
Well I got so exited and amazed with this that I...well.........farted on my phone and it was so hot that my phone shut down so I got so angry I farted on my phone again and the battery thing that touches the phone to supply power with...well that was hot enough too release smoke... And later that day I wiped it and cleaned it and I was just reading books again...Must have app get it NOW! Free
Amy
I have the app on my phone, ipod, and computer. And I have a kindle. If you love to read this great. If I get stuck waiting for baseball or football practice to end I can read!
Jasmine
So I read on another recview that this would be a better "book" app, this app takes way to long to load! Gezz what a waste of time!
Robert
A real good ereader app, definitely needs page turning animation like nook! Will give 5 stars when that happens!
Morgan
I updated the kindle app like my phone told me to and now I can't get the app to open...every time I try to open it the screen turns black...very frustrating because I had books that I was reading...I am not sure what to do.
Matt
The app was great until the latest update made me have to download the booksa from amazon.com. before I could get books just from clicking the "store". Why was this changed...not happy anymore
Brittney
Was perfect until last update! Can't order books, can't try samples, goes back to beginning of book if I close it!
Melissa
I'm trying to order a book and its sending me to the main Amazon screen not the Android kindle page. Everything was fine until this new update. Please fix!!!!!
Ben
So slow to open, size is huge, store is not in app anymore & hard to navigate, I am ready to ditch my kindle & get a decent reader for my phone. Why do I keep giving you guys my money?
Amber
I love this! Nice to have kindle on my phone, also have great selections of books to read from. Would also be great if it was audio as well. Some days too tired to read, would love to relax and listen, defintly could be a 5 stars if update could be possible, but still nice App :)
Bernd
Any click from book or kindle app lands on generic non mobile Amazon home page. Please fix it so it works as before!
Calo
Some updates have made it faster and great to have along with Amazon's excellent library. Suggested improvements: to be able to highlight in different tints/colors, and make library folders so we can better organize. I use it all the time. A recent update may be making not open and crash though, please fix.
Mellisa
When I go to my store in my kindle device, it takes me to full Amazon site. It won't download my books to my device! Dis not experience this before. Please fix.
Shannon
Force closes. What happened? It used to work perfectly. Update not working. Android Zio. Please fix because I love my kindle
Jeremy
When I try to go to the store it takes me to Amazon's online full site. Didn't do this when I first installed. Please fix! I love it otherwise!
Kristen
So I just finished #2 in a triology I bought on the 3rd and when I go to my 'Arcives' to bring #3 to 'Home' to read it says I repeatedly get the msg that my download is "interrupted!" REALLY!?! Come on...this is twice in 3 days y'all have changed my mind about liking this app! Please, for crying out loud, GET IT TOGETHER!
Marcel
I have experienced no ill effects after the latest update. It works great on my Rezound. It would be cool if I could listen to the music I downloaded to my Kindle on this app, but it's still 5*'s. Don't blame Amazon and give a poor rating because of the decision of a service provider/manufacturer to add an app to their product. None of us like "bloat ware" but we all have to deal with it. Just don't use the app or "root" your devise.
Tiffanie
I already have so many books from my mobipocket reader, because I had a blackberry for many years. I didn't have to re-purchase for kindle! I just add what I want to read & go it's awesome!
Montu
I read books daily b4 sleep and everytime when i open this app, it asks for a registration and what is soooooo annoying is I have to download the dictionary everytime as well !!! What is wrong with this app? Developers, come on! Can you just tell me a workaround. I can manage to register it when there is network, but what if there is no network and I had to read a book??? Plz bring a workaround!!! Samsung Galaxy S2 GT I9100 Official ICS 4.0.3 for India
Carly
I normally 5 star love this app but I am so upset that the store is now the full website. Really guys?! Bring back the mobile version. I am annoyed that I have to exit Internet explorer and reopen the app just to read the book I just purchased
Shane
The last update caused constant force closes and causes my phone to reboot the few times it does work.
Hy-Lo
From a first time kindle user. I find the app useful. I enjoy being able to read my material from my EVO 3D.
Anita
I really wish they would let you change text and back ground to colors of your choice. I have trouble reading and read better in colors would get five stars if that changed I use Ireader when I can now
Jack
Kindle for android was one of the first apps I installed on my Samsung Galaxy I. Worked like a dream and my intake of books went up - been reading two novels a week and catching up on all the stuff I should have read before. Then... with recent updates, things slowed, and slowed and s l o w e d , began to freeze more and more, and now with the latest update it freezes/jams/dies most of the time. Get the opening splash screen.. then nothing. Sometime screen goes black and then it grunts at me (vibrates a bit). I've done all the usual things - removed pretty well all 3rd party apps and anything I don't need, battery out and in again (many times). Eventually (after a few re-boots and multi-minute hangs) it does usually work. Not sure whether it is Kindle, Android or Samsung... but I am so very disappointed... Dare not rely on it on flights or other journeys - so might have to go back to paper... great shame. Can't believe I'm the only one with the problem - but can't find any advice on the web... If the next update makes things work as well as the original Kindle for Android, I'll post 5 stars instantly!
thomas
What happened to app. was 5 now lower than 1. It freezes or runs incredibly slow.
Evon
I Love Reading All These Different Books. -Jayla
Federal
This is the first time Amazon has released a flawed version of the Kindle app for Android. There is a major programming flaw--the app installed isn't as large as it should be; it's only 2MB. The app can't open. It only stalls and eventually force closes or crashes my tablet. Amazon, please remove this version and restore the previous one. You clearly have more programming to do on this seriously flawed update.
Caitlin
I'd rather have my Kendel, but if I forget it I'm not out of luck. Great app!
Cheryl
The app didn't magically install on your phone. It was pre-installed by your network and they are the ones that determine what their version of the phone's operating syatem will include and allow to be managed. Great app!
jo
The app itself works perfectly fine on my LG Slate. However after the update somehow, someone thought it was a brillant idea to squeeze more words per page and I understad that some people prefer it that way. I actually preferred the Kindle over Google Play Books before the update. But now with the tight leading between each lines, horrible kerning, and rivers flowing through the pages it makes the text unreadable and I'm in my 20s. Changing the size of the text does not help and in some cases makes the problem a lot worse. There should be an option to adjust the leading manually like Google Play Books or leave it the way it was. I'm sad to say this but I'll be reading from Google Play Books till the leading and kerning issues are fixed. Please fix.
RS
This used to be a great app. But instead of improving it, they've made it lousy. After the last few updates, it doesn't sync anymore on 4G MyTouch. I need this to sync or I can't use it.
Kayla
It was awesome when i first downloaded it a few days ago but the last two days it keeps freezing and i think may be causing other aps on my phone to run slowly. Hope this is taken care of soon!
Carla
Like the app but low rating because of its size. Need to be able to move to SD card. Phone is EVO.
Ava Edlin
This last update does not open, locks up the phone. Fix it as this is terrible.
DKMonroe
This was a 5 star app until the recent update that has made it slow and unresponsive. As soon as it's fixed, I would give this 5 stars again.
Tory
I loved using this great app in tandem with my Fire...what now? Updates are supposed improve the app...right?!?!?! I spent an hour on the phone with an Amazon tech...he was clueless. He even asked to call me back so he could research the problem. He never did!!!! Not happy guys!!!
john
I DID quite enjoy this app. Now the store simply takes me to the Amazon page. Very annoying.
Linda
As a flight attendant, this app is a mixture have for appetite appreciation time and long airport delays ;)
Wayne
I respectfully request this publisher to initiate ota updates on all Carrier UI's/OS's (especially in un-subsidized phones) as an option to remove/recall marketing bloatware. I paid over $600 for this Droid, and have spent hundreds on apps of my choice, and if any of the mitigated Corporate entities involved in this travesty, had any respect what-so-ever for true economic freedom, I would have the option to remove this App. I give this application one star for its part in the shaming of America.
Tara
Great fixing the crashing thing so quick. but all my most recent highlights and notes have disappeared!!
Jacob
When I first downloaded this app, it worked great. Then I upgraded to version 3.5 (and later 3.5.1) and everything has slowed to a halt. Loading the app takes at least a minute now, and sometimes it freezes the whole phone. I have even gotten the "no longer responding" message on a simple page turn, even after the app is loading and I've been reading for a while. There is no excuse for this to be happening, especially since I am just trying to read an all text e-book. I am using a Samsung Exhibit II 4G on T-Mobile.
Shayan
With the latest update, every time I use kindle it made the phone unresponsive and laggy, to the point that I have to force close it and then everything goes back to normal. This is unacceptable! Amazon can do better than this.
rebecca
It is pretty bad when u dont even use an app to have to update it when u just want it deleted off ur phone, I think that choice should be left up to user
Donovan
New update was unstable and would crash when opening books I had already downloaded, it also lost my data when I went to open the books.
This used to be a great app. Now it's slow and unresponsive. Please fix quickly!!!
Linda
I keep getting the notification to update and have tried multiple times but it just hangs, endlessly. It's as if there is complete failure connecting and initiating the download. It's a good app - hate that it's bloatware.
reina
since the recent updates, It directs you to the amazon website whenever you press the store button. Please fix otherwise 5 stars.
Catherine
Crashes since last update. Used it everyday. Now, each time I have to force close!!!! It sucks!!
Tabia
Seems like a nice app but its slow and crashes!!!!
Adil
I use it to read Kindle books as well as pdfs and serves me well!
tyler
Kindle app hasn't been working since the last two updates. It keeps force closing as soon as I open it.
SJackson
Just voting down the bloatware that comes graciously installed on my phone.
Paulette
Love it! It's my favorite app and I use it all the time!
Iconoclast
Comparable features to Play Books, but twice as slow. Takes forever to start and hogs more memory. Excellent reader, but apparently bloated. Please improve, since I need both -- each has their exclusive books.
Kevin
Used to crash every other time and I was ok with that. Since latest update it won't even open and freezes my Milestone X2.
ms.brandy
Since the most recent upgrade it crashes every time. I have a droid x. I am disappointes
Marian
Couldn't live without this app - I'm never without something to read wherever I am. The app has always been reliable and never failed.
thomas
Thanks for the fast fix. And Getting access back my books.
Doug
Latest update freezes up phone when opening app. Worked great til yesterday. Uninstalling.
Kierstyn
Screen is too small for reading, I would much rather read on my nook or from an actual book. It would be nice if I could delete this app from my phone
jon
This app worked before the update. Now it doesn't even work on my transformer prime.
Babita
Ever since kindle has removed 5000 titles from public libraries, the 'so called' free app has deteriorated. It crashes, doesn't remember and doesn't retain bookmarks. All in a effort to make us buy "Kindle ". I would rather stop reading ebooks than get bullied.
Ashleigh
Since update today I cant even open as it force closes on,me.. I have a 3yo and a 5month old who has been very sick and this has made staying in hospital etc a little easier.. pls fix this problem. I would give this a 5 star but after 2days updates its a 3 until its fixed and I even think thats too high a ratin.. I cant uninstall and reinstall as i'll lose my books and im not paying for them again wen I shouldnt need to.. Pls pls fix this.. After latest update to fix problem it now crashes my fone.Gt15500
hayley
Very disappointed. Would love to access books I've purchased! Fix, and I'll give back two stars!
Ollie
Verizon forces me to have this...then I get nagged to update. Last time Ill buy a Motorola product until they allow for "vanilla" android os.
Ferenc
It claims "no internet connection". I do have internet through wifi. Atrix2, latest version of kindle reader.
Kelli
This would be a lot better if it didn't keep randomly losing my place in books. Even when I obsessively hit bookmark before I close out of it. Very frustrating.
Christos
The best interface I've seen on an e-reader. Can lock screen rotation, can turn to night mode, direct access to the kindle store (the free classics rock!) and of course you can read your own files.
Jeff
This app cannot be uninstalled from my Droid Evo. Do not support companies that use this type of unwelcomed strategy. If this is a legitimate app then why do they force people to keep it? Show these companies that these types of unwanted "perma-apps" tactics won't work. Boycott them!
Rickie
I've been an avid reader all my life and don't even want to imagine how much I've spent on hardback and paperback books in my 62 years. I cannot stand to not have a new book in reserve when I get close to the end. I've gone to WalMart at 2:00 in the morning if I'm caught without a new book. Sad, but true. Now I never have to worry. I first bought the real Kindle and now use a Galaxy Tab and my Thunderbolt. I have hundreds of books stored and add more every week. No more dusty books and bookshelves.
Deja
Good for EVO. Easy to read. Not many glitches. Uses little battery.
Ralph
it's force closing 10 to 20 seconds after starting the app. Galaxy S2
steve
Since recent update very slow to open or it needs to force close. Please fix or I just wasted my money on a new book.
Robert
The latest update causes the app to force close on my Droid X. Other than bloat prior versions have been awesome. Please fix this!
Jenilee
I loved it until version 3.5.1. Now it crashes on start up for me with T-Mobile myTouch. Please fix!
Kathy
I've used the Kindle app regularly for months but the last update takes forever to load and stalls while reading. Please fix!
swiitpea
Taking waaay too long to fix errors from last 2 updates so I've switched to the Nook application for now. Say goodbye to all the money I usually spend on Kindle books. You really dropped the ball on this one. Obviously, you didn't test it enough before releasing the updates. Your loss - B&N's gain. Better luck next time. Hope you've learned something significant from this mismanaged situation. I certainly have.
Ed
slow. every release is slower than the one before. no other app gets the "not responding" pop up like the kindle app. so slow.
Jeffrey
I use this app on my HTC EVO 4G & HTC EVO View tablet with no issues. I get books from my local library & prefer to use this app instead of Overdrive. To the person complaining about the app, this app is available for free. If it's included on the phone, it's because the carrier made a deal to featured it on your device. Your beef is with the phone company. The app didn't 'force' itself on you or your phone.
Brian
I've been using the Kindle app since I bought my first Droid phone (droid 2). Up until the last 2 updates the app worked flawlessly. It doesn't sync with my other devices, even doing a manual sync.
Sara
Very nice easy buy can be a little slow but very very good app I recommend to people who love to read!!!(:
Chris
This update has ruined what was a gr8 app. Now force closes all the time. Reinstate last version please! SGS2
Neelan
Actually, Brutuz, Amazon is equally to blame because they obviously pay the carrier a portion of the sales or something. So you're the idiot here and Vertigo is right. It's bloatware from the carrier and kindle in unison. Takes two to tango.
minmean
Please fix the force close. It is still happening after update... Rubbish!
InkedPreacher
Constant force close on droid x since last update.
Anthony
I downloaded kindle for my computer and then for my galaxy player 5.0. The kindle syncs them both up very well. Only problem i have is when i don't back out of kindle completely on my player, it loses my page ang goes back to a past bookmark. This could be a pain when you can't recall your last page read.
Peter
Still is force closing can't read anything. Please fix. 5 star's when fixed.
Alnoor
I think this would be a great app if it didn't require so much horsepower. I am running on a Motorola Milestone, Froyo 2.2 and when I launch the app, I get a black screen for minutes. When it does end up loading, things are pretty sluggish.
Duane
Should not have to put up with unwanted apps!
Bernard
Was working great right up to this version. (3.51) Takes ages to open and sometimes crashes altogether. After use I have to re-set the tablet as it runs very slowly after Kindle. Please fix ASAP.
Raveshion
Last update was stupid you app cant stop loading. Also your store button directs users to the internet browser instead of mobile store
yolanda
The new update made no since to me I can't even use my mobile store I have to to the online sight which is difficult when you are on your phone please fix
Pam
Loving the new look and all, however, this app takes up entirely too much space on my phone! Had to uninstall updates. EVO Shift.
Fuyo
This app was great til I installed the last update. Now it freezes on black screen upon start up and I have to force close it. I wish I could rollback the update!!
Kristian
however launching a browser, then having to login, and navigate to search for content is not ideal. I would much prefer this to be in-app. Some books look terrible because they have images (vital ones too) that were at digitized far too low a resolution.
Steve
Current update is largest app on phone and can't be moved to SD card.
Tiffany
This app used to actually work w/out glitch,,,,,now when I open it, it freezes my phone. Uninstalling,,,,Sanyo Zio os 2.2
Kirby
Before the most recent update(s) the app functioned great. Now I'm almost always receiving "Amazon Kindle is not responding. Would you like to close it?" messages, which I have to do in order to get my phone functioning again. Amazon... please fix your app!
Chris
Won't run on DROID x2. Old version worked fine...
R.G.
Plz add the page turn animations then I will easily change this review to 5 stars!
karen
I uses to love shopping for books on my phone. It was the best device I had for shopping. Easier than the ipad or kindle fire. Now its the hardest. I definitely do not like having to go to regular website! I want my old store back!
Chae
This is not working on the HTC incredible. Amazon knows, and its been two days and I still can't get the books I PAID FOR
Doreen
Have to now every time you freaking update o have to force close. Stinks. Sucks. Disgusted Doreen. NYC
Kenneth
Waste of space for alot of people. Wouldn't use it if i did want to read. I would pay for an app before useing one forced on me.
james
Updated 3/25. Now takes for ever to load and doesn't keep my bookmark.
Eric
I use this app daily. Guess I will have to wait and find another way to read. System won't update my reading between my devices either!
TAYLOR
I got a e-reader for xmas nd it is the same as a kindle!!my nan got a kindle though!!the ones on phones r awsome!!!
Rachel
Was great till last upate, now is worthless, won't open at all, force closes and/or freezes phone
Samantha
Will not open. Force closes all the time. Back to 5 stars when fixed.
CB
Gives me a package signature error when it tries to install the update, and tells me to uninstall, which I can't do as it was preinstalled on my phone.
Megha
Untill this new update for kindle this app was great. But now it keep crashing on me.
Wilby
Force closes as soon as I open the app. Was working great until last update.
Justine
It opens slowly, then it just stalls on trying to open the recommendations. It still works for reading books, but why so buggy?
Clare
Was working really well but since the updates in last 24 hours app won't open and I have to keep doing force close. Shame as it was an excellent app. Is this just Samsung phones?
Joe
I easily preferred having a "recommended for me" list on the bottom of the home screen rather than the best sellers. Everybody knows all the hunger game books are the best sellers - I don't need it wasting up precious space in the app.
Bobbie
I love kindle. I have 2 kindle devices and this app. It works great on my razr maxx, beautiful and easy to read. I agree that a lot of useless apps came on the phone that I'd like to delete but this isn't one.
Michael
Kindle has some good aspects like the bookmark you can create just by touching the top of the screen and the archive that stores books you've bought when they are not on your device. But other than that it doesn't offer anything the several other ebook readers would not offer. Indeed the vast number have the advantage over Kindle as it's prices are hardly competitive it's exceedingly slow upon starting and the bulk of it is locked in your internal memory. I'll still use it but only as a secondary reader
Oscar J.
The Kindle for Android was very good... with the newest update it become slow and it stops all the time... it is continually opening the error window. Please go back to the oldest version.
stevie
Since the recent fixes, seems to be working well. Would like 2 pages tho in landscape mode.
christopher
I get all the good titles at a lower price and portability anywhere is the only way to go.
Aaron
I like the app just not the prices on books but from what I have seen the publisher sets the price not amazon so as long as people pay the higher prices expect to pay the same high prices
Bill
Five stars when prices become realistic. Right now i can buy a paper copy of most books cheapr than I can buy a Kindle version. More money for a virtual copy? Bad business plan guys!
gerald
Awesome app, until recently. Last update, I began having difficulty with each time I open the app. It either takes 3-5 minutes to open or freezes my phone, rendering the entire phone useless, until I'm off the app.. Until then I would give it 5 stars and say it's my favorite app on my Droid. Please fix quickly! !!
Steven
Brilliant app but last update seems to have brought problems. Apps keeps crashing now. Please fix the app as utter used to work so well.
Junior
I have a DROID X and im a Paramedic so im always on the go. I love this app BUT could you please let cellphones support audiobooks so I can listen to it while driving my Ambulance pretty please?!?!?! Otherwise I LOVE this app!!
Carol
I love this app' I first purchased it on my iPhone then my Samsung Galaxy S2, now on my tablet, I love it! I have all my Pratchett books on it! I can no longer hold a full size book, so having it on my mobile is fantastic! I love now whispersync syncs all of the books so it I read a bit on my phone I can then pick up where I left off on my laptop!
DoctorWu
Its not a bad e-reader app but it is lacking where other readers such as the Nook app do quite well. Mainly in page formatting. I like have two page view but this app only offers a single page view. Also other than the size of the text there's no way to change the font. Also no way to adjust the background, justification, or the margins. It "gets the job done" as an ereader but very basic.
Clayton
Was a great ap until lately when an update started causing problems. First fix did not fully take care of the locking up.
Robin
I use both the Kindle and Nook apps. I'm really disappointed that the Kindle app doesn't have the book wish list feature that the Nook app has. However, to those who are complaining about the cost of books - that is not reviewing the app. So your reviews are useless. The app itself is fast (faster than the Nook app) and downloading a book from the shop is a breeze. It's also much easier to bookmark on this app than other reading apps I've used.
Tobi
Sync is now so dysfunctional....after all these years???????? I am not even reading on another device and the books from last night are not even on my phone????
Tiny
It's just like the kindle, but better. Very good when you can't fit your eReader in your bag! Only thing I can think of to improve it would be a screen dimmer. Sometimes the screen is too bright to read in the dark without making your eyes sting.
Lorraine
My cousin got me a kindle and I love it tons of books just a click away don't have to carry them and they're cheaper than buying in a store.
Mathias
Nice with acces to gazillions of books right from my tablet/phone, and they are much cheaper then ordinary books. But a litteratur slow since update
Lisa
Nice app, especially for a "freebie". I have a loaded down Samsung and have no problems. Its nice to have access to an e-reader as I find nook and kindle (sorry!) Both too expensive as stand alones. Good selection of free, classic literature.
Brutuz
Amazon don't force it on you, your carrier and the tablet/phone makers do. Application is good, best of the ebook readers for android IMO.
Sara
So far I have had no problems with the Kindle update. I love it! It's so much easier to use than the version I was using before.
Scott
Really like kindle, pity its not listef on appslib as well.
Andrew
Does everything you need and always improving. Got me reading again.
Jane
Great app!
Tim
This app works very nicely and keeps my other devices update date wth syncing to latest page read. On Transformer [tf101]
when im reading a book how do i get back to home?
MATTHEWANDANNMARIE
:D! <3 xxoo
Michael
Very easy to read on my Galaxy S2
Terry
Only complaint is when I read on my Android device and go back to my Kindle, I'm not at the place I left off. Might be OE, but otherwise a great app.
Ed A.
Nice reader with dictionary like the Kindle device. No text to speech, and no sharing of text from the book. Media that can be accessed by an Apple device is not available for Android Kindle - which feels weird since Amazon has Audible for Android.
Samuel Nelson
Awesome app but not real page numbers as promise in updates, please fix them!!!
Nick
Doesn't remember your place inside magazine articles.
CdaJohn
I really love my Kindle reader, especially that I can have the same books on my DROID. COOL!!! Thanks
Matt
I preferred the ability to have two "pages" on my screen in landscape mode on my tablet. Further, what is up with the 3/4" border around the text? Why can't this app use the whole screen in landscape mode? Finally, if you blank out the interface with a tap on the screen, why does the space where the interface would be still remain blank? Shouldn't the text reflow?
Neil
Was good; but since Android 3.2.1 Flyer update app freezes regularly . Restarting is difficult at times. Issue needs sorting asap.
Guy
Excellent app to read on the go. Got free books too
fireryone
And it syncs easly with the kindle device.
Finrod
the previous version had the option to open a pdf file just by clicking on it from a file manager, please bring it back. (i don't know but the problem may be caused by tablet because it is running 4.0 ICS)
craig
On the mobile version there is an excellent feature where the phone can be "locked" to stop auto rotation. Could this be included on the tablet version?
Art Vandelay
and not adjustable on tablets. What the heck Amazon!
G
with new update it's,crashing Galaxy s2
dylan
Best ebook reader ever use it every night
Dave
Haven't had any problems over a couple devices. Love the phone interface.
sami
Good improvement, but still no Arabic language support
Anna
Sucksi downloaded it hopeing it would work and when I filled out the thing it said invalid password and email
Hannes
Phone state permission?
Michele
I love it but I have problems every once in a while with blank pages. I have to sync it to get them to show.
dresama
This is the best reading app I've used on Android. Th oxford dictionary and bookmarks are some of the best features.
US
Still won't load, stays at kindle splash screen then force quits. Motorola Xoom on ICS. 3.4.2
Geoffrey
It's decent but not great. You're limited to three viewing options regarding font and background colours, I would love to be able to customise the font and background colours to something that's a bit easier on the eyes. There's also no way to organise your books into collections, which is not ideal if you have a lot of ebooks.
Karl
Why should I have to register my details to download a free book? other and better book readers out there.
Raja
Crap as an application If we remove the fame of kindle, this app is reduced to ashes.
Tim
Add folders or some way to organize books besides sorting by author or title. I have a whole bunch of series, and its hard to find the first book in the series sometimes.
Emilio
Would be 5stars: if it let me read other non-kindle eBooks
Andrea
Best app ever x A lot better than the kindle itself
Lauren
it won't let me download my books since the updates :( please fix
jimjenkins5
I love the app and my Kindle, but where is the promised personal document sync. That would easily make it 5 stars
Arnab
More font sizes please! The font options are terrible
Pascal
Words are missing randomly at the end of some pages (on galaxy Ace). Font size selection is too coarse.
RedBedHead
Can be a bit slow but a fantastic app nonetheless - saves paying £100+ for an actual Kindle!
Holly
needs more settings/features. Where did the page lock go? New update and now i cant lock so the page doesnt move if i lay down! :(
Anna
This is so easy to use. I'm hooked!
Gregory
It works great on my phone. No issues have surfaced.
Night Train
It won't let me register with my existing amazon account.
Joanna
It keeps losing my last page read lately. This app was almost perfect before this started happening. Using on Samsung GS2.
Big Al
Thankfully its working again!
Jacob
Kindle has and always will be the best whether its the tablet size or an app. Things like nook will always be second to.
Rossnmo
Constantly in use until today. After upgrading (on Samsung Galaxy S2) the app refused to open. Eventually got it working (I think) by deleting, re-installing and NOT transferring to the SD card. Have cancelled auto upgrade and will try to revert to an older version.
Carolyn
Will not download books now! I can't read the books I have paid for!
jamie
I love this app! If I forget my kindle I can read from my phone. And the pages are accurate from where I left off!
Sara
Won't pet me download from the archive since last update. It keeps saying download interrupted. Please fix.
Bradley
I asked for margins that match the phone version...and it was a feature a week later. Might just be great timing, but I'm sold either way.
ian
Text all mushed together and you can't change it.
Elizabeth
Got a new phone and reinstalled the app but I'm missing the books I paid for!!
Trina
Use for all my books now, haven't held a hard copy since I installed months ago. Absolutely love this app!
Cherilynn
When using this app on my phone it wont sync to the page I left off on my ipad.
david.mullaney
Anyone know if it's technically feasible to hook the volume rocker for page turn on Android?
Ian
Why does it need to read my phone state? Emailing dev. Update when I hear back!
Brykins
STILL no way to email books to my Android, even though it's been working on iOS for ages. Poor show.
Melissa
I love this app. Having over a million books to choose from is great. I have a room full of books and this will help a lot.
Osman
Updated and still force closes. Can't access my PURCHASED PAID BOOKS for nearly 2 months. Last 3 updates has fixed nothing. Please fix or refund my money so I can buy and read books on Google Books . Uninstalled.
Earl
Works well, esp across devices: can always get to last place.
12paq
Font sizes are huge on a 160 dpi tablet. App does not correctly identify my tablet as a tablet Come on guys! You can do better.. sheesh..
AN
I use this app nearly everyday. The sync with kindle is priceless.
Rhonda
Great app love it even more since my library has Kindle books and I can read to my hearts content for free
Sabrina
Since the last several updates, the book covers no longer load properly. I used to love this app.... I still love my kindle... But keeping all of my devices in sync has become more challenging! Please fix.....
Vektuz
why does a book reader app need to know who I am talking to on the phone?
It works very well, no problems for me at all. My only complaint is that when you're reading it for long periods of time it really drains your battery. Samsung intercept.
Aly or Foxy Cudi...whatever floats your diggy
great app. would be even better it you could email docs to it too (tablet user), but its still good...ill give it 5 stars if it happens :)
Tim
Kindle on my mobile, great to be able to read English books in China as there are no book shops that I can use.
Mad Maxx
Works amazingly well on Motorola DROID 4!
Micky
I don't like the new front page, I liked the kid reading under the tree
Chris
Why can iPad Kindle app have great landscape 2-page mode but on Android it just shows a big, ugly, wide page in landscape? It really makes any 10" Android tablet a lot less Kindle-friendly as at that size portait is too big and landscape would be ideal. And why cant it have the same options as Kindle Fire? Margin, spacing, font style...
Matt
I installed the kindle app and when I try to open it, it goes to the grey kindle screen for 3 seconds, as though it will open,, then crashes.
Martin
Reading is good, but the kindle store isn't built into the app? It sucks having to open the store in my browser.... also, what happened to being able to access PDFs from the app? Have to go to file browser to open them.....seems like the app has gone down in quality and usability.... :[
Gaggy
New update doesn't show the percent symbol on top of the books in home mode
Genet1c
Great probably the cleanest and best put together reader for android but....doesn't support .epub :(
Renzo
When I go to Archive, it force closes on my Samsung Galaxy S II, Epic 4G Touch. Please fix!
linda
Since the last update it doesn't save my place anymore. Takes me back to front cover. :(
Matt
Reader was great! ! ! After last update wont rember last location... Even with bookmarks! Fix and will give five stars. Razr maxx
Nikki
Works well. However, I prefer the phone interface over the tablet one, specifically the "home" page as well as the progress markers (percentage badge and/or progress dots).
Southpaw199
I was loving this app until the upgrade to v3.4.2 wiped out all the bookmarks for the books I loaded locally (vs those bought via Amazon).
Patricia
Am I the only one missing words at the end of pages some times? Every time the page ends in a hyphenated word the end of the sentence disappears. I have to change the font size or layout to get them since the last update.
Mark
I once again have lost access to my purchased books. The help link takes me to the help page. The help page closes after 5 seconds back to Kindle. I am done with Kindle and Amazon.
RS
Would love it more if MyTouch would sync with my other Kindles. It tells me it's synced to the furthest page...but it's not.
Jason
Please bring back the old text spacing on tablets at least as an option! The new text spacing is too cramped.
SaMm
It doesn't re-flow PDF files when zoomed in. It doesn't even read basic universal text formats. The idea is good but needs more work done.
Arkar
I bump down to 3 from 5 stars. I have ICS on transformer Prime & two pages view would be great. Come on, now, it is too much to ask? Do I have to buy kindle fire for that? Or maybe I should just cut my losses and buy from Google book store.
Sandy
The only books I have access to are my archived books! Even after syncing! What's the point of downloading this app if I can't use it for what it was meant to be used for??
MRC01
The new tighter spacing is an excellent improvement. But it needs to be user configurable! Specifically: font size, margins, line spacing, font typeface, and 2-columns for landscape. Let us drop any TTF file into the Kindle directory to use custom fonts.
Gerhard
Beslis 'n moet hê... Laai maar gerus af, dit is free & verniet!! EISH
Bruce
I would rate this a five except it won't let me move it to the SD card. App takes up too much of the phone memory. Otherwise this is a great app. Very stable and easy to use.
Jason
Not to bad on the smaller screen of phone (SG2) and lots of good features. There is however one feature i use missing. Can highlight & make notes but not share with others.
Adam
Program works great, only problem is, the default icon on the home screen doesn't work, it just crashes immediately. I have to launch the program by going into my apps in the market. Htc Thunderbolt.
Chrystal
The app used to be awesome but with each update, out gets worse. One day soon I'd hope to actually read my purchased books.
Shawn
Need to move to SD for 5 stars on Evo.
Boo
Why can't I uninstall the apps Idon't want... I don't use it, it isn't necessary for me to ne forced to have on my phone...
Ana
Great app when works. Freezes a lot. some crashes it loses location in book. Bit slow in menu areas. Love that I can move to sd card
Anonymous
Love it. I can enjoy tomb raider books on my assus pad
Wolfenbarger
I love my Kindle app for my Android HTC Hero! It's so much easier than carrying my books w/me. I read constantly, so this app is a must have for me!
lucy
Love it! Love this app!!!
mre
Optimus s I like it got a book and now reading. :)
Jen
I would LOVE to be able to save to SD card. I need to open up space on my phone. Evo 4G
Cameron
I don't use this app and I can't uninstall, dumb
T
Does not sync! The iPad app syncs just fine, but the Android app insists that I'm 'synced to the furthest point across all devices' when I am absolutely not. #FAIL.
Dean
Dictionary feature is spectacular. I want to read pdfs on here, though.
Melissa
Love it! Love that I can read anything anytime. Love that I can point at a word and get the definition, leave notes, easy purchases....love it!
Kevin
Before I gave this app a 2 star because it was slow and sluggish, but since the update that I received about 10 minutes ago, I can say this is no more
Denise
Now I can leave my kindle in my car and sync my book before I start work. I can read at my desk and not have to worry able others seeing me read. ;)
Damian
Great reader, although some books are pricey on amazon/google marketplace can be fpund cheaper elsewhere.
Dean
I just updated my Kindle app for my Dell Streak 7 with Android 3.2, and the formatting is now somewhat off. Some words get "mashed" together, and the "pages" now have a large border. The previous version used most of the viewable display space. I hope this will be fixed soon. It's kind of annoying.
Svengo
I think this is the easiest to read from and most nicely presented and designed e-book reader on the market, followed fairly closely by Aldiko. Really impressed they can make a ebook look so nice on such a small screen and thankfully you have the option to turn the brightness down very low if you wish, which I appreciate. The sepia background is really easy on the eyes. I'm doing most of my reading on Kindle for android now.
Lilith
I love this app! I was looking into getting a kindle but wasn't sure if id like it so i tried this and i must say it's convinced me to invest in one!
Syeda
I love to read & this app is great for ppl who enjoy reading. Gives you something to do when in a waiting room.
Ruisa
So happy I have it on my phone...
Corinne
Everything I had an issue with was fixed! Live it and really love the new layout. Think I'm going to start ordering magazine subscriptions!
jtarheel
All the books in one place. Finish one, don't need to go look for another, it's right here.
James
Love the new look after this last update. Works great on my g2x
Suzanne
Love this app when it works. Usually does but lately lots of force closes, slow pageturning and some books aren't appearing on my home screen. Grrr :(
Fray
For some reason it wont accurately synchronize with PC Kindle
Holly
Keeps disappearing off my home screen, can only access from my applications menu. Otherwise like the upgrade
Sandra
Love this app because I love my Kindle and love to browse the books, read the samples and purchase the recommended. books....yes,LOVE this app!
Joe
Did a system restore of my Dell Streak 7 and now Kindle is behaving as expected. Watch those DL's people. Going to look around to see if there is an app taht protects me from crappy apps...
gavin
Keeps telling me the titles ain't availible for my country so I don't think anyone in the UK should use cos none of the books are available for them
Christy
Wont show up in my apps. I love this app but everytime i want to use it i have to go to the market, search kindle, and open from there. What am i doin
JesD
Obviously its not a kindle, but I love that it connects to line. It even knows where I left off!
InsaneMisha
Kindle is a MUST HAVE for the book lovers. I have Kindle Mac kindle pc kindle ipod and kindle android. Soon will get kindle fire.
Lisa
Archives and shuts down Since this update, every time I reopen it makes me remove my book then get it back from archived books. Shuts down all the tim
Kylie
Have not had any problems or issues. Great app to go with Kindle.
Starchele
I Ordered Mutiple Books And There Still Not On My Phone
Courtney
It's a great app that functions fine. HOWEVER, it was preinstalled on my phone and I don't want it- thing is, there's no option to uninstall!
Linda
This sucks. I didn't install it, and I can't get it off my phone!
Nicolas
It keeps losing my bookmarks and notes. Never had this problem with the other book apps. Only got this app to read a new release not on others.
mountain1985
Top lil app. Plenty of interesting books in the free section I have read and would have never bothered with in real life due to the price.
Ava
A good if you have Kindle account. I do not, and this was a pre-installed app, that I cannot uninstall.
Rick
All my archived books are gone and I was forced to remove all my on-device books. I cannot read the books I paid for since updating my android device!
akeleven
Nearly impossible to read the GN I paid for.
Jennifer
Just keeps saying not available in your country but has no where for you to add what county your in! So frustrating! Argggh!
Justin
Won't search. Pretends to, then reverts back to same page. Click on a category, it briefly goes to that page, then flips back.
Arthur
I cant stand dis app don't use it and never is.....cant remove it
Shawn
Seems to need 7 meg of ram when competitors need 700k. Permissions are somewhat broad for a electronic book.
Lisa
Since this update, every time I reopen it makes me remove my book then get it back from archived books. Shuts down all the time.
Natalie
To buy a book on accident. He clicked on one of the recommended books on the bottom, UGH. I don't read on my phone and can't uninstall.
Edward
This is the app I most looked forward to when switching from windows mobile to android. I use it every day. and I'm still going to use it either way but would like to get the update. Have moto Defy and keep getting error:Package file was not signed correctly. Anyone else?
Why can't i just use this for free? It says it is!
Erica
Its just bloatware on my bionic.. being pre installed makes me even hate it more will not use it!
Xatolos
While its a nice program for Kindle ebooks, I have to rate it only 2 stars when compared to the iPad version. Obviously Amazon really didn't give much effort or care to Android users when they made this app, and it seems like their feelings of this app is "Ok, here's something just to show I acknowledge your existence. Be happy I did that much." A shame since last I remember, there are almost twice as many Android devices to iOS devices so it isn't done because of market share.
Harry & Jill
Kindle for Android is definitely inferior to Nook for Android. No bookmarking, no saving of where you left off. REALLY annoying!
Anatoli Arkhipenko
This is a very nicely done app. I do have one little problem with it: every time you touch the screen to turn a page, the soft buttons light up. Why? Not a big deal, but annoying. I use other reader apps and somehow this does not happen. Eats battery for nothing...
daz
No books were available in uk? Cant be right man s2.
debbie
It's always trying to update & never does. I don't have this problem ion my iPad.
Karyn
Works super...perfect when u forget ur book or kindle..only flaw but still 5 stars is it doesn't always pick up where u left off but its an easy fix..
d
Nice to have on android. But, be aware this app has SEVERE memory creep! It can bloat itself up to 15 MB. Very poor memory and storage management.
wasoota
but with better hardware. Wish it could read pdfs too, I'd love to be able to search and annotate those. Cloud Sync is awesome.
Wai Ching
Books not available in malaysia. Uninstall!
Crazy
app. Lots of free classics. Simple, user-friendly, and free.
Priscila
I love reading ebooks. Saves money and you can take a good book with you just about anywhere. That's awesome!
Stupid update to phone killed some applications, including Kindle.
Mark
Can read kindle books anywhere now on three different devices. Sync works great!
Josephine
None of the books were available for the uk! :( so disappointed cos it actually looks good
mnyakko
Every other time I use the Kindle all of my bookmarks and highlights and notes disappear.
This app just makes me want to keep reading. Love it it's a must to download
Jon
Syncs flawlessly across all my android devices! Great UI, features and offline capabilities.
Huckie
It even show nothing when i search 'sherlock'
Joz!
as usual a blindin app from amazon. though the lack of text to speech integration is killin me. i really wanted the whole package from this app. i might not have had to buy a physical kindle BUT i still have to pay for the ebooks...so i'd like to be able to HEAR them too! :(
Joji
The store is so slow.
Bob
Best UI of any app, ever. Better than a full size Kindle on a HTC Desire!
donny
I was reading on my droid bionic and swapped batteries. The bookmark I had saved for the current read, was gone. It acted like I never read the book
Tamie
Cool app. I use it all time in waiting room at Dr. office, mechanic, etc. Handy for HTC EVO!
joanna
Now this is an update that's truly good. Thank you :)~
Geoff
Latest version still does not fix formatting on Galaxy Tab. Words split on opening paragraphs.
This is a great app. Given the small size of my phone screen I was worried my poor old eyes would struggle to read the text. No worries! It's easy and very convenient. I've already downloaded enough books to last several months.
Patti
Runs very slow lately. Takes to long to load a book from my library
Daniel
Beware of the EULA. You may end up out of of money due to Amazon saying we don't allow this book anymore. Also packed in by VZW.
hvdzee
I registered, did put some (kindle format) books on the Kindle folder in my Android phone, but they do not show up in the Kindle app at the 'on device' tab. No setting for local storage exist. So I uninstalled.
shelley
Excellent app for any body who loves to read!!so many books to carry with you with out having to be a bodybuilder!!!
Douglas
Good app. I love that i can read my books from multiple devices. Not keen on the page turning. Needs to be as smooth as ibooks.
Some variation of AshpdWin
Love this app..good, but apparently it isn't compatible with my Droid X? Had to restore from titanium. Running Droid X on Liquid x rom .605 kernal
Marialice
Won't let me uninstall
john
I find that I read with this app on my xoom rather than my kindle. That is if I can get the xoom away from my wife,
Michelle
I loaded the update and all of a sudden i cannot manover from book to book any more the home page with my last read book is gone. Not happy :-(
Christy
I love this app but everytime i want to use it i have to go to the market, search kindle, and open from there. What am i doing wrong?? GS2
jongreen
Cannot see login fields, cannot login i.e. Samsung galaxy S 2
adi
Great ui and readability customization. however the number of free books OS much lesser than the others
Tiffany
Since the last update it won't even open and keeps crashing my phone.
Stephanie
So I absolutely loved the aesthetics of this up before the last update. Please make the background nice again instead of gray & boaring then 5 stars
"This title is not...in your country",on every page!! So a 'big hairy donkey balls' 3 stars from me. Looks ok by the way.
Anna Banana Chocolate Chip Muffin With Icing and Sprinkles and a Cherry on Top!
I don't wanna have to pay for the books! I got this because I don't wanna keep asking my parents for money for books... its great if you have $! :P
Damian
After extensive testing I determined this app was the culprit for the horrible battery drain I had. It forced 'sync' to be always on.
E&H
Buggy .... Was working great, but not any more.
tom
Keeps kicking me out of book partway through and forcing to reopen book at same place I opened previous time, which might be 30 pgs ago. Moto Xoom
rob
Wish it wasnt a stock app
Angelo
I bought a textbook specifically because I wanted to be able to read it without having to carry it around. But it's only for PC/Mac. Fix this app!
Dan
Excellent features and reliability. Can be a little slow. Ebook store a little basic.
Catherine
I love this app, it's amazing!!!
mike
Why does it have to know who my phone is connection to? Snoopy permissions are ridiculous. Needs to know too much.
Brian
Great for reading. Dictionary really useful. Store leaves a lot to be desired. No wishlist. Images don't display. Recommendations no good.
Yvette
So far, it's been great, no bugs to speak of here. I have a tablet with this app and I can pick up where I left off between devices.
ravi
Superb app... Allows me to read all my fav ebooks
Christina
Great app!! It allows me to read the book and no problems. I enjoy it so much..allowed me to get back to reading :)
Charmian
Its wonderful to always have the book I'm reading with me.
Donna
This app is great and I love the fact that I can pick up my kindle or phone and connect right where I left off with the other!
Jody
Unable to uninstall from my Droid X.
Cateenna
Get Sarah Rose on your Kindle search Sarah Rose. Thanks, love the app by the way.
Debbie
Kindle for Android is brilliant, always got a good read with me, where ever I am, and no more shelves of read books that I never seem to get rid of.
Matt
I use it all the time.
Matt
I cant find a single book available in the UK. This app is absolutely useless!
Carolwool
Brilliant but preferred version before last update bit showy on homepage now. Just like having a kindle. SG S2
joanna
App shut down on me and I have a book I'm trying to read! So I am not real impressed at this point.

Sencilla y muy práctica para lo que se necesita.

The functionality is great but I'd like to see more style options.

With the new home screen, it is an eyesore. Suggestions should be under the store heading, you know, where I actually buy books. Home unnecessary.
Michael
Kindle is true quality
Diamond Domi
Love it
Alexandra
Wish it would show status bar like Nook and page numbers. Never know the time or exactly how many pages left. Otherwise very nice.
Sebastian
Can't imagine life before the Kindle App. Changed my phone several times over the last few years. But Kindle has stayed with me across devices.
Jason
My most used app.

Daniel
I have it on all my devices, HTC Incredible, laptop, Motorola Bionic, ASUS epad.

So far so good, no complaints, great mobile app when I can't carry my kindle with me
Kisha
Better than getting a kindle for 200 dollars.
Ken
I can read my book any time and anywhere. I can get a new book any time and any where. Best thing since sliced bread.
Pavel
Works but nothing very exciting. Page controls are not that convinient.
Amazing. Use it all the time.
Marvelon
Works good, but worried about the new update, so waiting a bit.

Love it - would love a store option for new words I look up in the dictionary so I can go back and try to learn all those stored (with explanations)
Steve E Weeks
Love switching between android, mac, ios, and sometimes windows.
Linus
Great app sinks well with my Kindle
This app wont let you uninstall!!
Kathy
The first book I bought would never open. Error message claimed it was invalid, downloaded many times.
stopsatgreen
A decent app, but Kindle should really support the epub format so that we can buy from different vendors. It's the reason I don't currently own one.
Dawn
Love this app!!!! Perfect for those who love to read but don't want to carry a book everywhere.
@ times its not always easy to read a book from my phone & always wished the option to have TTS capability rather than turning the phone off. Thanks.
Kevin
I prefer reading on my phone than on my kindle.
amie
Dear Sir. If you like to be forced into using an app on a phone that cost your hard earned money, then there is something wrong with YOU :)
kristina
Great app. I can start where I left off in my Kindle when I forget it at home. Life is good. :)
Jack
With the latest update, Kindle moves one page, then sticks forever!!!!!!
Mathew
Needs an uninstall feature for the app not just the updates. Don't want this on my phone.
Kerbalicious
I just love the fact that I can read my favorite books ANYTIME I want!
melissa
I want to remove this app because I don't use it. I don't know how because it came with the phone
rossmanith
Have the Kindle 3 and the Android app. Use and love them both.
Jonathan
I use this application daily. It needs a better user interface. A way to organize my books. Access to non-Amazon (i.e. Guttenberg etc.)
Ennileah
Love it...Works great on HTC Cha Cha..also got it on my I Touch and HTC 7 Mozart...wonder why there's only the brightness missing from Android & IOS
Mac
criticize an app for being crapware. Carriers control that. Kindle does everything right.
Gobby
How do I remove editor's picks? I don't buy ebooks. How do I make the font smaller than the smallest option? Fix these and its back to 5 stars.
Vladimir
Do not want; can't uninstall; one star junk.
Bryant
I wish it had a speech to text feature, like my actual kindle
capone
What a piece of sht. After updating it deleted all titles saved locally, now I have to redownload them all. Gj amazon way to sck @ss

I love my kindle app! Its my #1 of all apps!

Any company that has to force their software on you cannot think it is any good.

Seamless experience between Kindle and app!

Since new update came out my on device books continue to disappear and archived books wont load
Sharaisse
I love this app. Perfect in every way!
Mohamed
Amazing app. Only thing is I can't purchase in US dollar for some reason, only in Pound Sterling. Is there a feature that allows u to choose preferred currency? pls advise.
Ara
i dont like this app... i wanted 2 get a free book and it asked for my credit card # and personal info.. ( it askee for a billing address)
robynsnest
Excellent app. But ever since update its not working right. Slow response and book covers don't show? I also have trouble accessing the store. Evo.
Rev
The only reason I have this installed is Amazon's format lock scam. CoolReader and MoonReader are both far superior as readers to the Kindle app. :/
Justin
Nice and simple the way I like it. Use it a lot when on downtime at work.
patrick
I bought a new phone and tried to archive my books, and now it says I need to repurchase them. So when I try to repurchase it says I already purchase.
Patty
This is one of my favorite apps. It fits purse or pocket and can have several books available providing one with a choice to match one's interests.
Matt
David
Forced on me. Strongly resent inability to uninstall from phone.
Connie
I didn't even download this to my phone!!!!! I hit uninstall and it didn't uninstall.....and now it doesn't even have the uninstall button. what??
skye
Amazons lost money because error message keeps me from buying books off of app :( please fix. Samsung fascinate
C
Boycott Bloatware. Don't buy from companies that force their products on you. I will never use this Bloatware, and I will never purchase any ebook from Amazon until I am given the CHOICE to have this on my phone or not.
elizabeth
Best app EVER. Love the way i can sample books first before buying. So many free books available.
wendi
Next to the actual kindle this is the greatest reader out there
Morgan
Broken, incompatable witg droid incredible.
varun
The new ui is really catchy. Great theme guys!! @Melissa:stop giving poor ratings 2 devs just cos u don't know how to remove the app from ur own phone
かいお (kaio)
No ver check please! Cyanogen 7 wasn't able to install.
Victoria
Updated and now I can't access my books! Thanks for the "help".
CJ
why can I not move this app to the sd card? Get with it Amazon
Rob
Total crap..not wanted can't unistall..verizon and motorala will lose a customer if they keep auto updating things I don't want...aldiko is much better anyhow
Steven
Sucks Sucks- will never use it and can't get rid of it.
V
Still no speech available. Even PDF readers have TTS features, and the Kindle device does, why not the reader for Android?
Walter
I did not ask for or approve this installation- I certainly did not want it automatically updated. I refuse to do biz under this SOP.
Enrique
Very stable but I wish it had more fonts and a better sharing mechanism like the actual Kindles I do like this application but I wish it had more options (Fonts, backgrounds, text color) and the same mechanism to share via Facebook and Twitter
155
How come this can't read books to me like my Kindle? The missing functionality is inexcusable.
Darren
This looks like a vary cool app People need to give it a try.
Spencer
Like having a Kindle without paying for the device. These new do everything phones are the greatest. Can't wait to see what's in the future. Amazon #1
Nick
Kindle App works fine, LG Optimistic. To those who can't uninstall, you fail at life, kthnxbye.
AuntieBelle
I think it's awesome that I can read books on my phone. This app has gotten me through many long waits. I have no complaints.
Jeannine
Doesn't work very well. I will see if this current update does fix the issues if not uninstalling an finding a program that works.
Rachel
For the avid reader this app is great..I read anything and everything. I find new authors all the time that I love by just getting the free books...
nicola
Keep getting "invalid email or password" error on replacement g2, worked fine on old one. Very frustrating, app is useless now.
R
I haven't so seen the improvements made to the store yet but if it's easier to access I would give a 5 start rating.
Tommy
Solid app

Great interface with customizable reading options. The whispersync is amazing ad well. I don't read too much on my galaxy s, but nice nonetheless.

Better than getting a kindle for 200 dollars.
Amazing. Use it all the time.
Pavel
Works but nothing very exciting. Page controls are not that convinient.
Ken
I can read my book any time and anywhere. I can get a new book any time and any where. Best thing since sliced bread.
This app wont let you uninstall!!

@ times its not always easy to read a book from my phone & always wished the option to have TTS capability rather than turning the phone off. Thanks.

Great app. I can start where I left off in my Kindle when I forget it at home. Life is good. :)

I just love the fact that I can read my favorite books ANYTIME I want!

Needs an uninstall feature for the app not just the updates. Don't want this on my phone.
Vladimir
Do not want; can't uninstall; one star junk.

Love it...Works great on HTC Cha Cha..also got it on my I Touch and HTC 7 Mozart...wonder why there's only the brightness missing from Android & IOS

Like having a Kindle without paying for the device. These new do everything phones are the greatest. Can't wait to see what's in the future. Amazon #1

How come this can't read books to me like my Kindle? The missing functionality is inexcusable.
Rob
Total crap..not wanted can't unistall..verizon and motorala will lose a customer if they keep auto updating things I don't want...aldiko is much better anyhow

This might be a decent app, for all I know, but I really resent not being able to install it. Amazon and Verizon are both to blame.
Debbie
Kindle for Android is brilliant, always got a good read with me, where ever I am, and no more shelves of read books that I never seem to get rid of.
Sebastian
Can't imagine life before the Kindle App. Changed my phone several times over the last few years. But Kindle has stayed with me across devices.
Jason
My most used app.

With the new home screen, it is an eyesore. Suggestions should be under the store heading, you know, where I actually buy books. Home unnecessary.

Love switching between android, mac, ios, and sometimes windows.
Kevin
I prefer reading on my phone than on my kindle.
amie
Dear Sir. If you like to be forced into using an app on a phone that cost your hard earned money, then there is something wrong with YOU :)
Jack
With the latest update, Kindle moves one page, then sticks forever!!!!!!
melissa
I want to remove this app because I don't use it. I don't know how because it came with the phone
rossmanith
Have the Kindle 3 and the Android app. Use and love them both.
Mac
criticize an app for being crapware. Carriers control that. Kindle does everything right.
Gobby
How do I remove editor's picks? I don't buy ebooks. How do I make the font smaller than the smallest option? Fix these and its back to 5 stars.
john
Any company that has to force their software on you cannot think it is any good.
Patty
This is one of my favorite apps. It fits purse or pocket and can have several books available providing one with a choice to match one's interests.
Rev
The only reason I have this installed is Amazon's format lock scam. CoolReader and MoonReader are both far superior as readers to the Kindle app. :/
Ara
i dont like this app... i wanted 2 get a free book and it asked for my credit card # and personal info.. ( it askee for a billing address)
Matt
David
Forced on me. Strongly resent inability to uninstall from phone.
C
Boycott Bloatware. Don't buy from companies that force their products on you. I will never use this Bloatware, and I will never purchase any ebook from Amazon until I am given the CHOICE to have this on my phone or not.
Steven
Sucks- will never use it and can't get rid of it.
varun
The new ui is really catchy. Great theme guys!! @Melissa:stop giving poor ratings 2 devs just cos u don't know how to remove the app from ur own phone
Walter
I did not ask for or approve this installation- I certainly did not want it automatically updated. I refuse to do biz under this SOP.
Alexander
Sean
I refuse to use any of these trash apps that I am unable to remove from my phone... BS.

Why does it have to know who my phone is connection to? Snoopy permissions are ridiculous. Needs to know too much.

Wish it would show status bar like Nook and page numbers. Never know the time or exactly how many pages left. Otherwise very nice.

Works good, but worried about the new update, so waiting a bit.
Carl
I use this app and my kindle seamlessly
stopsatgreen
A decent app, but Kindle should really support the epub format so that we can buy from different vendors. It's the reason I don't currently own one.
Chris
Seamless experience between Kindle and app!
Jonathan
I use this application daily. It needs a better user interface. A way to organize my books. Access to non-Amazon (i.e. Guttenberg etc.)
cindy
I love my kindle app! Its my #1 of all apps!
patrick
I bought a new phone and tried to archive my books, and now it says I need to repurchase them. So when I try to repurchase it says I already purchase.
Jeannine
Doesn't work very well. I will see if this current update does fix the issues if not uninstalling an finding a program that works.
Kathy
The first book I bought would never open. Error message claimed it was invalid, downloaded many times.
Justin
Nice and simple the way I like it. Use it a lot when on downtime at work.
wendi
Next to the actual kindle this is the greatest reader out there
Matt
CJ
why can I not move this app to the sd card? Get with it Amazon
Victoria
Updated and now I can't access my books! Thanks for the "help".
R
I haven't so seen the improvements made to the store yet but if it's easier to access I would give a 5 start rating.
Nick
Kindle App works fine, LG Optimistic. To those who can't uninstall, you fail at life, kthnxbye.
Darren
This looks like a vary cool app People need to give it a try.
Rachel
For the avid reader this app is great..I read anything and everything. I find new authors all the time that I love by just getting the free books...
V
Still no speech available. Even PDF readers have TTS features, and the Kindle device does, why not the reader for Android?

This app is now totally screwed up after the big DROID update. It asks you to register but I have been for a couple of years.

I LOVED this before the update. Now it will not sync. Tried to uninstall and reinstall and it won't do EITHER. MAJOR problems with this product!!!
valery
I love this app. You can even access books you have on your full sized kindle. So easy to use, and there is an uninstall button. So glad I downloaded!
Sunny
Takes up too much space on phone. Need to be able to save to SD

It doesn't let meh delete app I need more frickin space o.m.g

Had the app for a long time and it always worked fine. Ever since the last update though, it keeps force closing and wont load the store!

If I wanted the app, I would have downloaded it. Now I constantly have a notification for new updates for a Kindle app I can't delete.
Phil

I see the "uninstall" option on the Kindle app when it updates. Not sure what people are cryin about. I use Kindle; there's plenty of free books.

Page numbers would be nice. Amazed at the number of stupid people. If the app came with the phone, you can't uninstall. Blame your carrier not the app

Irked, my droid X came with this app. I hate Kindles because of the censorship they endorse and enforce on their devices. I wish I could un-install.
Tricia
Used to work fine, then due to an update it lost its functionality - force close before it even truly opens. DROID X Will update rating when resolved
Christopher
Not only can I not uninstall kindle, now it updates without my permission. GET OFF MY PHONE!!! I hate you kindle.
lucky909
Stop complaining people! LOCATION replaces page numbers and font size can be changed instead of zooming.also has a free OFFLINE dictionary.<3
Loris
Cust service emailed me to correct problem. Have to appreciate their efforts.
scott
Claims to be uninstalled, and no longer appears in app settings, but still asks you to update in market...can't get rid of it
Stephen
I like the Kindle app but it would be nice if it also accepted ePub files. It's obviously been written to work with the Amazon website, that's how they pay for it, but a paid for version that accept other ebook formats would be very welcome. One feature missing from the Android version is Collections which are available on version of Kindle for other platforms such as Windows.
diane
Love this app. I read books I wouldn't have before, and I can do it anywhere its so easy to use.
calenpope
All of the features of the actual reader I love. Its text rendering is sharp and beautiful and the options for searching and coloring are very good. The whole appearance is very polished. I just wish that you could put PDF files on your amazon account so that I could use the app on my tablet to read them instead of only being able to get them onto my physical kindle device.
Nicholas
auto update is a market issue, complain to Google! Not Amazons fault!
Kelly
Would be nice if you guys would unlock the uninstall button so I could uninstall it!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I don't ant this app
Kristin
I love to get all the free books humanly possible. Great app!

This app came with the phone and is constantly updating itself, despite me having unselected auto updates more than once.

The new Kindle app is ugly, slow, counter-intuitive and worst of all, grey :-( Luckily I found a backup of the old Kindle apk, so I managed to get my beloved kindle back. Be warned Amazon, there are LOADS of other book readers..........

It's about time kindle did an update and they made it worthwhile as well. Thanks! I love it!

I love being able to read my books whether I have my kindle with me or not. It always remembers what page I am on no matter which device I am using.

Great app especially if u own a kindle as u can read all your books on your android phone or tablet! Works great on the samsung tab. Love it!
jpk
Did not install - and can't delete! Boooo.
Annita
I love this it is soo great to have it looks good on my HTC EVO 4G :)
Victor
Very happy with app. Would like to see option to have brightness tied to phones brightness setting.
Laura
This app is appalling id give it a 0 if i could! Took about 20 minutes to register and then NO books were available in my country! (england) shocking!
Ashley
I'm changing my rating since the recent update literally crashed the app. The changes are NOT for the better. The unnecessary marketing crud is horrid
danyale
I have uninstalled this app several times & it keep installing back on my phone. STOP It NOW
mlnoone
The kindle is unmatched in its selection of books and ease of findind the exact book I'm looking for and the new home screen looks great!
James
Don't understand why it insists on storing new books on the phone rather than the SD card even after doing app2SD.
Neal
I want to fcking uninstall this bullcrap but i cant. Gtfo my phone
tamika
I haven't stopped using this app since I downloaded it. Never thought I would love reading via phone. Thank you for the classic novels. Awesome app!!
Timinsk
This should only be on a kindle and not on phones unless people want it. Stop cluttering our phones!
Jessie
Excellent app! When my kids hijack my actual kindle, this makes it all ok because I can still read my books right where I left off.
Tinsy
Being held a hostage. Very poor business decision. This is why people stop trusting a business - shame on you Amazon, Google, Samsung and T-Mobile.
j.buck
Opens randomly on atrix 4g. ??? Have to kill in task manager when not in use.
gotta
Far fewer force closes than previous versions. Still no text to speech, not even the Android built in.
Bill
I would give it 5 stars except I'm a firm believer that nothing's perfect.
Ed
The new home view is awful and the recommendations are completely uninteresting. Why can't the app remember I prefer the on device view?
nathan
I don't want this application so please stop updating. I have removed it 10 times
Dirraan
One size smaller font would be awesome for 4.3" screens.
Robert
Have Kindle app on desktop & notebook too. Keeps bks synced betwn devices. All Kindle bks not available in all countries see Kindle @ Amazon for help
Carly
What's with the new update I loved this app till I updated now its slow,and,freezes, what's going on?!
Erikia
Why am I getting a license limit msg telling me 2 deresgister 1 of my devices when this app is the only kindle I use I just paid 4 a book I can't read
Kate
Never have problems. I get to read more because my "book" is always with me.
Brill
Cant click on anything after latest update. Cant read anything at all. Screen just dimms and noting responds to touch including menu.
tanisha
I used to rely on kindle on my iPad now on my galaxy I use nook because of the page turning view. Surprised you don't have it yet Please update
Mary
Reminds me of the Market "update". "Recommendations" are just ads that I don't need. Previous version works fine, not updating to a crappy version.
Lane
Only thing that's not on this App is the page turn animation.
Alexander
Merwaan
Good app, but a problems; takes up way too much space, would also like an option to get rid of margin, makes it look untidy :)
melinda
It was better before the last update.....it takes forever to load now before it loaded very fast......
Remington
I have no use for this. Please allow me to remove crap I don't want and stop turning automatic updating back on for it.
Connie
I love that I can sync with my kindle so when I am somewhere w/o my kindle I still have it on my phone!
michael
Was great before the update now its like molasses even on an oc'd Droid. Simple is sometimes better.
Xenia
It was a little annoying to scroll "pages" so often on a tiny screen, but I have a feeling of accomplishment having finished JANE EYRE on my droid2.
agsteele
Just got the latest upgrade for Kindle this morning... The new version (3.1.0.30) is slow, ugly and less intuitive than before. A backward step for me.
Mary
Great for reading but I wish they had not removed the book purchase option from this ap.
Byron
People if you cannot uninstall it, then root your phone. Stop complaining. Don't let a company dictate what you can and can't do. Do something aboutit
Jason
Don't like it, don't use it. Can't read a book on this tiny screen. Let me take this crap ware off my phone!
Robyn
Because I never put my phone down. I love my Kindle, but having the app on my phone makes it even better!
Oisin
Good app but needs text to speech feature that iphone and kindle has. Add it and i will buy lots more books. :-)
Amie
Last update randomly removes books except for the one last read, so I have to keep going to archive. Please fix!!!!
drspectrum
The new Home screen is very nice, but it slows my Atrix to a crawl whenever I launch the app. Desperately needs an update!
Caryn
The new look sucks! Gray is so boring. Some books only show author pic and not title. Wish I had backed up previous version.
Phil
Chandresh
Have to fill in details before you can purchase a free book! Plus the books that do cost are priced more than the real books!
Akash
It's the same failure to uninstall just as the blockbuster app. For god's sake, don't make contracts with companies in light of profits google!!!!!
Pete
Fantastic app, still surprised even now that you can sync your kindle with this app to keep track of where you are in the story.
Dana
I have it downloaded on my phone and my tablet as well as an actual kindle dx! I have my books, magazines & games everywhere!
David
No Tables of Content. Explore a book by slow manual page turns? Yuk.
Suzanne
New version will not download from archive. 3 times with tech support did not resolve. Too bad. I used to love this aopp.
Kendall
Was 5 star until last update, now it's slow and will not sync with kindle book. Having to flip a full chapter of pages sucks
ben
Great app works perfect, saves place in book, many options for txt size and background.
Yuna
Wish for more options in home screen. Hate editors' picks! Works good tho can't complain.
allyson
So before they decided to update this app just recently I could read any of the books I had on my device. Now I can't because it won't sync them.
John
What have you done? The latest update is slow to load, crashes regularly and forgets what i'm reading and where I've got to. Galaxy tab 7" on Froyo.
aok
Why dont u people listen!?I want to UNINSTALL!! If you keep forcing this app to stay on and waste stotage more people are going to hate it. So please
lumihiutale
At a minimum, need to add a san serif font and left justification. How can this be a reader if we can't read how we'd like?
Lauralupo
If you are signed in to amazon kindle on the same screen name on each device all books should sink, sometimes u have to pull them from archives
David
I'm sure it is a great app for those who use it. I don't use the app and I'm upset that I cannot delete it off MY phone.
William
Ever since update, cannot download new books, remove books, will not sync furthest location read, and it says half my books are invalid. Useless now
Kevin
Eating up memory that I need. 2 of their Apps won't uninstall & I waste more time trying mine memory. If this is what Amazon is about, good ridding.
Wayne
The images in book store appears to be fixed so it's back to 5 stars. Curious, why does the size keep growing and growing even when I remove books?
John
System checked out vary good. Crossing them with others.For the ones responsible created this fore mate. Good Job.
KJ
With hundreds of thbousands of free classic literature and other books on kindle, you have a library in your hand!
paulie
Cannot uninstall this app, which is particularly annoying. The icon still shows up in my phone and it still shows up as installed in the marketplace.
AnnaMarie
This latest update makes loading so slow. I am so sad. Please fix that problem, because I can't uninstall the update.
Lee
Amazon really is the best reader app out there. You are only kidding yourself if you think otherwise. Atrix 3 1/2G
Michael
Nice job Amazon! The new home screen is awesome! I love how you can see the book covers very large.
Steph
I hate that I can't delete this app and it constantly notifies me it needs to be updated.
Scott
Was 4 stars. Now only 2 stars. Latest update is awful. Hate the new home screen. Still needs way to organize books in collections like on my Kindle3.
carla
Surprising how comfy and easy to read it is on such a small screen. Lookin forward to having extra room in my case now I dont need to pack any books!
kellyann1293
I don't need recommendations for new books... just keep it simple!
virgo
No idea how's it as my country is not supported. Seriously this is WWW, it should be boundaryless! There was no problem buyin from Amazon so why this?
Val
Love it! But I don't have a clue .on how to remove a book or delete one off the device so if u can tell me great!
I'am Sparticus
Been using this app for over a year, and it simply does what it is supposed to do. I really like the new layout, and look forward to all future implementations on the user interface.
Rory
Superb! Not as good as reading on my actual kindle, but a fantastic integrated solution for the commute.
jerry
On my Vibrant, latest version takes about twice as long to get from app start to reading a book as the previous version. Looks nice tho...
Patrice
So far so good. I love the kindle app great to save money and still get your books on the go.
Megan
Was amazing til latest update. Now if I try to read on my kindle, I have to pull my battery every 10-20 min because it freezes my entire phone!
Jenna
I cannot believe I was going to spend over $100 for a kindle...then I got the app on my phone. I read books all day long now. Great app
Another
I didn't like the new home tab and so filled in a feedback form through the app. Got a very helpful reply a short time later, hope next update better!
Jeremiah
The Kindle app works awesome. It syncs across 5 devices for me with very little work at all. Spend time learning your device before ripping on this.
nathan
Never stops updating I don't want this application so please stop updating. I have removed it 10 times
Brian
The amazing Amazon Kindle. Amazon continues to amaze.
Emiley
Blah!!!

Malware Did this really just install itself? I did NOT install this or ask for it, so how on earth did it get on my phone??
Jeff
Can't delete. This app always downloads its self even after I delete it and force a stop. I don't want this app.
qlifee
Amazon... you broke my heart :(.. after all this good time we spent together.. now you turn you back to me because of GEOGRAPHICAL RESTRICTIONS!

Hmm. Awesome bt variable txt size margins make txt sloppy and words are bolder at some points than they should be... At random. Plz fx HTC in.2

Slow! The new Home screen is very nice, but it slows my Atrix to a crawl whenever I launch the app. Desperately needs an update!

Dannie
Must have for book worms like me XD Brilliant app. Like the new home screen. Heads up for the developers...Can you make it possible to add audible books to this app seeing as they're both using the same amazon account instead of having audible app as well.

This version looks nicer but is ridiculously slow. Will rate up if performance us improved. Love the synching between phones and devices.

Getting better but would like smaller font size One size smaller font would be awesome for 4.3" screens.
j.buck
Annoying Opens randomly on atrix 4g. ??? Have to kill in task manager when not in use.
M
Reading magazines is a nightmare Because this app only saves your place in books - have fun scrolling forward through hundreds of tiny screens over and over and over again.
Jason
Sharing Progress Broken? "Sharing" feature only shares Kindle App. not actual book and progress. Droidx. 2.3.3. Please fix!
Scott
Good Good, quality e-reader with broad title selection but lacks features (e.g., find text).
Jess
I love the new recommendation feature! love, love, lovee <3
Qays
Great app Complements the Kindle experience perfectly. Still a large resident when moved to SD card :( 2.4 mb app and 1.4 data on internal after move to SD.
Loretta
You can't sell to strangers Very enlighting. Great book!
Holly
This app really deserves 5 stars. The only thing keeping you from that is; NO PAGE NUMBERS. If you want this app to be legit, you need page numbers!
Hope
Best E-Reader
Yuna
OK Wish for more options in home screen. Hate editors' picks! Works good tho can't complain.
Jak
Love this and use it all the time. Easy to buy books if you have a pre existing amazon account espescially with 1 click buying. Great e-reader
Travis
Great app Just works! Intuitive interface.
Wally76
So nice.
John
Excellent book reader with access to a vast library of reading material, many available for free
Whitney
Excellent, but slower on EVO 3d than original EVO
Chic
Great app for those who don't want to spend money on a kindle.
Muntasir
Ok Cool reader but only supports mobi files unlike the actual kindle. Would be better if PDF & EPUB file types were supported. And give us a shelf view!
Scott
Just okay It's an ok reader, but not many options. Needs more customization while reading.
Ashley
Excellent! Having this on my galaxy s 4g really saved me money. I don't see why everyone is complaining. great app!
Janie
Does not work!!!!!!!__
amanda
Need a cc number even for free books...uninstall
Masterpiga
Good readability, Poor usability As far as reading quality, the app is pretty good. Margins and line spacing feel just right at all different font sizes. On the other hand, i find the UI unsatisfactory. Some things that really should be improved: allow to tag/organize books (tags?); Hyperlinks: when I follow an hyperlink and tap on "back" I should go back to the previous page/location, not to the book list; It should be possible to "highlight" and "annotate" text also across pages; several more things but I am running out of space.
Johan Christian
Nice White letters on black page makes out easy to read on a smaller screen
Anita
Too many forcecloses This app causes a lot of force closes. In order to get the app to download I have to remove the battery and reboot phone. Happens far too many times

joanna
What happened??? After I installed the new version on my phone can't even switch pages nor read. Please fix this!!
Erin
Ever since I installed the new version none of the pictures in the amazon store show up. You can't view the book covers to see what you are buying.
Julya
Love this app. Use it all the time. I get the books, read them, and then my husband reads them on his kindle (uses my account) Resolution isn't bad, easy to read. U can bookmark pages, make notes, copy, etc. Stop hating just cause it's preloaded on your phones.
Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason
Needs .mobi support, and some recent titles have very bad layouts for images and diagrams.
Rocio
Stupid and sucks
Antony
Would be 5 star, but unlike the kindle device you can't read .mobi files you haven't directly purchased from Amazon via the kindle store.
becca
Awesome!! Great sync, so easy once I figured out I had to register phone on my amazon account!
Tom
Why force it on me The honey badger don't like it.
chuck
Crap Wish I could give it negative stars.. came pre-installed and im stuck with it.. shame on you amazon. This app is a joke and people using it are tools.
First
Can't move to SD. Nook is a better option.
Amy

Malicious virus Malicious spyware. Cannot be uninstalled, cannot stop automatic updates. Kindle is a virus
Kurt
Installed on my phone, autoupdates. Donot want, wish I could uninstall it. I hate that they prepped stuff I don't like, need or use. Stop preloading on phones and not allowing to delete it. And setting it for auto update!? Terrible!! >:-0
christina

David
Great app.
Cleo
Excellent Great site!
Kasie
Download itself can't be uninstalles sucks
caleb
Preloaded Garbage Better reader apps out there that offer better options like aldiko ... which allow you to uninstall if you don't want it anymore
AceMilo
Best way to read I've never been a reader. I hated reading in school because we were forced to read cap, so that turned me off. Since I night my tablet, I find it awesome to be able to read in bed with the lights off, and I finally enjoy reading. Having whisper sync to sync my book positions across my tablet and my phone is fantastic. I've tried the nook app and it doesn't hold up to this. This is truly the best way to read. To the reviews that say you can't uninstall and forces updates, that's all bull, works fine.

Nice! Love syncing btw devices - can start a book on my tablet & pick it up on phone. At first hard to find controls. Wd like more bkgrd colour opts.
Kevin
Works as intended No problems installing or uninstalling, works as a good front end to my kindle library. Sync is occasionally wrong, and will start me over.
Mofoluso
Great!!! Why would anyone want to lug a kindle about when you get this on your phone?
sara
Great app! Automatically sync's with your Kindle account, so you can pick up right were you left off reading on your kindle from your phone! HTC Inspire 4G

It would be even better If it had the option of text to voice, some times I can't read,a lot of the computerized voices are great, hope amazon considers .
Eyvette
Slow sync- App Sucks! By the time I get to where the preacher is when using the Bible, they have finished reading! Pages turn too slow; tabs missing on chapters!
Suzanne
Worked really well at first, then phone crashed and kindle force closed. Reinstalled and it won't let me log in. Amazon advice useless. Annoyed.

russmclaren
Updates will !@#$ you over Last update renamed my device without any notice, causing periodicals to not get delivered. Back issues are not available. Amazon won't make it right. So this "free" app ended up costing me money. Find a better e-reader for Android.

Ginger
Just ok. The annoying things are that it doesn't show chapter progress, & doesn't post to Facebook or Twitter.

Once Go Book finalizes .mobi support, I will be completely done with kindle. Kindle's 8 gb size is ridiculous.

Unlike some other ereader apps the kindle app for android leaves the menu buttons lit up continously even when in night mode causing bright distractin

Keeps losing its log in info! Then it wants me to register it again. This causes loss of exsiting subscriptions. Lame app!
Jobey
the biggest p.o.s app in the whole marketplace!!!!!! I can read about seven or eight pages and then they stop loading and give a "sync error" message

Kanuk
How do I get it off my droid X. Get a real book for Gods sake.
BobT
A perfect companion to my Kindle! I prefer the Kindle reading screen most of the time, but having the greater portability of the phone app for those "unexpected" reading opportunities (Doctor's Office, etc). is awesome. Could use a 'skip to next chapter' function like the Kindle, but still a Five-Star App overall.
jedensuscg
For us readers willing to pay for books its an amazing app. I forget im reading on a phone. People, understand what the app is for BEFORE rating.

Richard
Perfect!
Ryan
Love this app. However, not all books are syncing. Please fix.
Hasan
Very useful
James
Even if the books cost money some are less than a dollar so its not that big a deal
chelsea
Wish I had the option to uninstall.
sikkokid
what's this location thing? Can we get a choice for real page numbers please? It's frustrating for college when they tell us read so and so page #s!
Shane
Would be four stars if it was easier to search the free content.
David
You're wrong. There are a lot of books avaiilable for free.
Yuyu
This app is a lie you can't read free books at all. It should just say " to install is free but once you have it u have to buy all the books you want.
DoublePointer
New search and dictionary features make this a 5 star app!
Dylan
Awesome cell phone app. Find more free apps and games at www.CellPhoneApp.net
Barbs
Works a treat, stable works well on n1. Books well priced quick easy once credit card registered. Like USA account as is cheaper!
Jeff
You need to provide a credit card and other personal information to even download a free book. Doesn't yell you until 5-10 minutes into installation.
UltraViolet Faerie
OK, I suppose, if you want to register & provide ur cc #, but why? B&N Nook is similar. Try Aldiko or Laputa instead, no regis req'd & more free books
Sue
Force closes ALL the time since the latest update. Previous version quite good but lacked means to organise large numbers of eBooks. Samsung Galaxy S.
Xpd259
So fantastic made me want a kindle, sync's between them both perfectly, books aren't all free that's why credit card is needed and works with UK accou
David
Don't believe those who say it doesn't work with UK accounts it's fine
Dylan
Excellent app. Search for more free apps at www.FreeDroidApp.net
jesse
If I wanted to put my cc number in I wouldn't be downloading a free app that say there are free books.
Madeline
Now I love kindle don't have to get it just download the app works great on Evo and there free books are good too large selection
Taryn
Great app on my vibrant...used to use surecovers when I had a g1...this is better but I noticed drains my battery fast even with the brightness down.
Gary
I love it because it came free in my phone (Vibrant) and classic books are free. Plus I can pick up reading again when I get bored
Qays
Latest update is great! All we need now is ability to carry over notes from a sample to the purchase.
DreamcastDC
Better then iPad book shop.
Gregg
Who needs a Kindle! Fully adjustable font size, and background color compensates for smaller screen on my LG Ally and my books are always with me.
Jonathan
Love it!

I love having my books with me all the time. I never have to worry about losing my page. Books are priced like paperbacks at Wal-Mart.
Gavin
Perfect syncing with a Kindle and low battery drain.
Simon
Once you've put your card details in (even for the free books) you're away. Extremely simple and a nice thing to have on the phone. Desire

Ryan
Great App makes my smartphone into a real tool for school. Samsung Captivate

Excellent.
Chelsea
Love this app
Seth
Wonderful and perfect for reading.
Monica
Absolutely love it! My new favorite app
kayoti
Still in need of some settings; orientation lock, override for auto screen sleep.
suoiduts
Love app overall, but in my books with text boxes the text in the boxes doesn't show up. Also some books lose several words b/w some pages. (Droid)
Martin
Kindle e-books are a delight to read on HTC Desire's WVGA screen.
Rajeev
Very promising. However, text reflow for a couple of textbook samples on HTC Desire is abysmal - only 1-2 bullet points per page!
julie
Makes the Droid even more awesome....if you can imagine that.
Eliot
Excellent, but a store in the app might be nice.
J
Perfect!
Shakira
Love this app, use it daily. And has tons of free books.
Cristian

HeBo
Absolutely love it!!!!!!
dina
I luv that its on my phone so convient its always with me:-)
Kasondra
Love it! Nothing to dislike about it.
It's Me.
Most negative reviews are on books not the reader. And the ones that are forget its a phone first.
Matthew
Free classic lit on my phone. Excellent!
Becki
Don't just say it could be better. Tell them HOW. They can't read your mind.
David
Excellent app. Even though it is not full as on pc because can't highlight text or make your own notes ant the ones you do on pc kindle aren't sync.
Excellent reader
Victor
Good Complement to my kindle. Needs move to sd card for the size of this app.
Laurent
It's a good start...but no magazine subscriptions and no integration of shopping...looking forward to improvements
Brian
Book prices are high, on my opinion.
Malinda
I LOVE my Kindle for android...it rocks!!!!
tamara
Favorite app. Love my kindle and love have my books on my phone now too
Allen
Great reader and great book selection. Better integration with kindle store/more intuitive store are necessary for 5 stars.
Jessica
it would be better if the books were free
jrn
Total joke. Have to make an Amazon account...but wont let u create one. Uninstalling.
Justin
The best thing I ever downloaded!! Samsung Captivate.
android

Michelle
Saved me from buying a kindle! I love it! Droid Eris
Tini
Love it. Works fine on MyTouch. And guys, quit whining about the Amazon store, you're supposed to be rating the APP. Email Amazon for that stuff!
Ambur
Read 4 books so far. Works great!!
Deb
I have all of my books from my Kindel & can read them without my booklight!
mjdescy
It is excellent for reading Kindle books in spare moments and keeping you place in sync across devices.
Mojo
Awesome!
Mr.
No way to uninstall... please fix
Hey You
Runs well on G1, good access to some commercial titles, but Aldiko FAR SUPERIOR for display & reading features. Avid readers will want both.
Eric
Perfect! Love the fact that I can read/sync between Android and Apple devices.
Gus
D/l app & installed, but still couldn't open kindle format books from gutenburg.org.
JOHN
I prefer Aldiko since you don't have to use the browser to search for books.
nichole
Love it! ! Mytouch
Zeno
Kindle books are more expensive then the physical copy
Francisco
Aldiko is far better and FREE!!! The kindle books that I have do not allow to jump to chapters unless you know the page... Try Aldiko!!!
jim
Love it!
JT
The inability to add my own ebooks to the library mars what is otherwise a very slick and usable ebook reader.
Tim
On par with every other Kindle experience. Motodroid-dim the menu/nav buttons while reading and we're golden.
Ingus
There is no possibility to zoom in pictures, diagramms. Doesnt show some text that is contained in colored area!
Tom
I installed so I could read periodicals on my phone but they're not available for d/l. Why?
Justin
Great app. VERY few free books from the Amazon Kindle store is the only downside. Works perfect on the Hero.
Reign
Works well, but need to have it customised for India too...
James
To all of you who don't get it: this is an app for the Amazon ebook store. If you aren't willing to buy ebooks from Amazon, it's not going to work
Daniel
Can't get any free books to try reader without credit card. No idea if it's any good before spending money.
Grant
Who gives an app 1 star because they are too stupid to use it, seriously? It works and didn't pay for it good job
Nathan
Best app I've downloaded yet.
dj ABE K
Nice but could use display brightness adjustment. Also should have page flipping like laputa
Ham
Hey guys checkout DroidPub.com they have 500+ PAID Apps and Games!! I get all my stuff there its great!!! Its www.DroidPub.com CHECK IT OUT!
John
Love it! Now I can stop carrying my blackberry just to read books on
Samantha
I thought all the books would be free :(
MissNikkii
Nearly flawless. I do not own a Kindle. Found all my fav FREE classics, some new on web site. Books ordered on one device show in 'archives' on others
stu
Quite simply brilliant
Bria Sativa
Love it so far. Search by category a little clumsy, after looking @ book it goes back to beginning of search, instead of left off. Adds steps.
David
Great app! Thanks Amazon!! Works perfectly.
Sean
Just downloaded it. Nexus one (uk). No probs here. Downloaded a few samples. Look fine . Running cyanogen 5.0.8_test5
Rick
What a surprise to be browsing the new apps and see Kindle for Android finally released. Works great on my Incredible. Back to "The 5000 Year Leap"
David
Books are all gibberish but nice interface. UK nexus one cyanogenmod
Putts
4 stars for reading interface, 2 stars for shopping interface
Jason A Howie
Gives my Evo a much needed addon!
Jason
Please add the ability to turn pages with the device volume buttons. Another eBook reader app can do this, and I can read books with one hand.
Lorin Bute
Look, its ok for the 1st version, but it needs an in app store. You can't fool us with a web version. Im gonna use it when that comes. Uninstalled!
Lionel
This app looks better on my evo 4g than it did on my ipod touch
Chinh
Works well but lacks some essential features such as text search or dictionary lookup.
ben or
Sucks, can't read a sample of a book and need to give credit card info for buying one of the only 4 free books
