This is ridiculous. I get the verification code via email, but it never works. I tried the Amazon Cloud Reader in Edge, but it didn't work either. All that one does is open to the page of the last synchronized book, and it stays there, frozen. Downloading the book from the Cloud Reader apparently just downloads that page. Since I can't fully utilize my device like I want to, after many years of use, I'm throwing in the towel on Windows Mobile. Submitted on 2/6/2017 Review title of MustafaNeeds a W10 version to match the great Audible It is very bad.
Amazon is bad for not giving an app deserving of their kindle brand. It works but with less features! Now please start adding your standard features such as dictionary and highlights. Also, there should be a way to search our archive in a better way.
Bring out the W10 app.Update: Your service is still better than Microsoft. But you are forcing people to switch to eBooks from Microsoft store by your bad app. For example, eBooks from the Windows store now have read aloud already. Please update your app!
The Kindle app gives users the ability to read eBooks on a beautiful, easy-to-use interface. You may also read your book on your phone, tablet and Kindle e-Reader, and Amazon Whispersync will automatically sync your most recent page read, bookmarks, notes, and highlights, so you can pick up right where you left off. Support for Lion, including Lion's full-screen mode. Support for collections allows you to take control of your Kindle library and organize your books with ease. Book Extras by Shelfari.
Access character descriptions, important places, popular quotations, themes, and book-specific glossaries from Shelfari, the community-powered encyclopedia for book-lovers. Support for Kindle Print Replica content, which look like the corresponding print book with words and images in the position corresponding to the print edition. Support for reading most PDF files within the Kindle application, including functionality such as zoom and pan, highlighting, note taking, dictionary lookup, and bookmarks.
Support for additional languages. 1.5.2 Aug 27, 2011.
Pfunk4billion, Infuriating I’ve used Kindle for years and I have always loved it. However, using it on MacOS is frustrating. Seven months ago I purchased a book on Javascript and attempted to work my way through it. With no input from me whatsoever, the pages jumped forwards or backwards by 2-8 pages.
I didn’t click anything, I didn’t hit any keys. Then I would have to go back and find the page I was on.
Clicking to find the page would also result in it going much further than I intended it to. So then I’d have to go back the other way.
Then sometimes that would go too far. Then I’d get it right and halfway through the page it would start doing it again. Unfortunately, I forgot about that experience and, being busy with work, didn’t have time for Kindle until recently. When I ordered another book, this time on Python, it was the same wretched experience. I gave up on it a few times, then came back because I already paid for the book and was determined to get through it. Then I’d give up again.
It is infuriating to try to learn something while your app can’t stay on the intended page and 2/3 of your learning time is getting annoyed and fighting the program just to keep the page. I hate to buy the books twice because I obviously can only do this with the hard copy now (with the added inconvenience of not having the reference on the screen next to what I’m working on). I love Kindle and Audible and I hate to give it a bad review but on Mac, this app is garbage. Pfunk4billion, Infuriating I’ve used Kindle for years and I have always loved it.

I love Kindle and Audible and I hate to give it a bad review but on Mac, this app is garbage. James the Programmer, Functional but flawed This is written in from the perspective of a 2018 MacBook Pro 15 inch. As far as I can tell the app works mostly as intended. The app hasn’t crashed on my yet and I’ve yet to have issues with any of the books I’ve opened.
However I’ve noticed something mildly annoying about the highlighting system So it seems like I’ve discovered a bug that happens when I use a mouse (Logitech Anywhere 2S Mouse) but functions perfectly fine if I use the trackpad. To elaborate in order to highlight something you hold your mouse down until the word is selected and in order to highlight a selection of text like a sentence or paragraph you just drag from the selected region to the end point.
However, rather than having an event to finish the highlight when you let go of the mouse it decides to only highlight within a time frame of about a second Which means if I want to highlight a large selection of text I have to try and highlight as fast as I can and try to be accurate at the same time It’s pretty annoying and hopefully will be fixed in future updates.

AJDestin, Not all the features of a Kindle, but pretty good I have this app on both the Mac and iPad and while it doesn’t have 100% of the functionality of an actual Kindle, it does everything I need. I can open and read my books and documents without issue.
The two features that are missing that I’d like are the useof foreign language dictionaries and the ability to have the app read books that are just text. Occasionally, I like to read French literature in French because, well, it’s usually better in French. My French is a little rusty, so I bought a French to English dictionary. On the Kindle, if there is a word I don’t know, I can just touch on that word and instantly get the definition from my French to English dictionary. It happens automatically. With the Kindle App, however, there’s a lot of hassle and the need to download a Google dictionary of some kind. The other thing I like about the original Kindle is the ability to have it read documents that are just text.
Sure, the voice is a bit robotic but sometimes it’s very practical.
