Customer Reviews
Why so many bad reviews, it's great!
I have a Kindle, an iPad and an iPod touch, and this app is fantastic. If I buy a book through a browser, I can send it directly to an iOS device, and it's there, or I can go onto the cloud view and download any book I've previously bought on any device for free! The best part is, the syncing, if I read a few pages on my Kindle, or other device, I can press a button on any other device and it will sync to the page, genius. It also syncs bookmarks and notes. I find this app particularly useful because, although I prefer reading on the Kindle screen, it is not backlit, so at night, or simply when it's dark, I can pick up my iPad, and read a bit from where I left off on my Kindle, then the next day on my Kindle, read from where I left off on my iPad! Everything also works for my iPod touch so I can read my books wherever I am.
Haven't a clue why this app has so many bad reviews, I personally think it's fantastic, and I would recommend it to anyone, and it's free so why not! Even if you don't have a Kindle, this is still an excellent app, and in my opinion, better than Apple's iBooks app.
Crap
Why can't you see how much the books are, if you click on it to see its details it just starts downloading it and you can't even see the price, stupid!
Works fine
This is working fine on my new iPad. It synchs to the page I'm up to on my kindle or samsung galaxy. Able to get all the books I've purchased on my kindle.
