A clumsy app and website
Earlier versions of Kindle were well designed and highly functional. The current version is awkward to use and clumsily designed

Janky
They continue to show that they cannot, or don’t care to, fix the bugs in their code. If I’m trying to turn the page I don’t want it to instead change from the time left in the chapter to the page number. This has been an issue for years and now happens every third page turn or so.

Frustrated!!!
Love my Kindle app, BUT….after the most recent update, I cannot mirror my book to my tv while I exercise. Everything else mirrors fine, but instead of showing the page I’m reading (by the way it worked before the last update), it shows all my kindle books which is useless because it’s supposed to be…

One improvement that would help; I would like a method of arranging titles into categories or groups…

No manual sorting
This is a wonderful app and very enjoyable, however it could do with the ability to manually sort your books. In many cases books that are part of a series do not self sort and there is no way to correct this. In addition, you might wish to sort your books in a certain way for your own personal plea…

Very but…
The kindle app for iPhone is excellent and honestly gets better with each update. I have used it as my reader for many years.
It would be a good, and non biased option, to be able when using the word look up selection to be able to choose the browser you use. Maybe an option in settings to put in…

One Of My Favorite Things
Amazon Kindle gives me access to 1000 of books without having to go to a book store to buy them or having to store them once I’ve read them!!! ❤️
