Customer Reviews
Old version was great
For some reason my kindle app no longer stays on the last page read. It reverts back to he first page when ever I click out of the app for any reason. It is extremely frustrating. I thought when I got a new phone that might end but it is the same. I've been reading on kindle for years and loved it. I recently started using iBooks for books I need to pay for and only read book on kindle that are part of kindle unlimited
Best
Not sure what else to say. It is a great application with a great selection of books. Thanks for all the effort the company as well as the engineers put into the development of the Kindle application and devices.
Please improve layout
Please add a function to change font and background color. I'd like a sepia or light orange background with black fonts, like the Financial Times, the most legible newspaper.
For this reason, iBooks has more legible formatting. Kindle is adequate, but is less legible and slower than iBooks.
