Kindle is an e-book application manufactured by Foxconn and marketed by Amazon. It was released 12 years ago, to be more precise, in November 2007. Kindle is a separate physical device that you can purchase in the shops, but the Kindle app allows you to install certain software on any mobile device and turn it into a Kindle.
Carry your Kindle eBooks with you
The Kindle app is completely free to install and download. For now, it is available on the iOS, Android, Microsoft Windows, and macOS platforms. It allows you to turn your iPhone, computer, or tablet into a Kindle, so you can take your favorite books with you wherever you go, and do not worry if you forget the physical Kindle e-book at home.
The first such application was released in 2009 for the Microsoft Windows platform. It allows users to read the books on the computer with no Kindle device required. After one year, the releases for Android, macOS, and iOS were launched. All the e-books that you purchase on Amazon automatically appear in your application after the transaction. But only Kindle Unlimited and Amazon Prime members can choose and download eBooks directly in the Kindle app. Actually, it is not convenient but was made to force people to buy a premium subscription.
Tons of amazing features
In fact, the Kindle app is a really advanced application for reading on mobile devices. It has tons of exciting features. Not in vain, the application has so many downloads and positive reviews on sites. So, after downloading Kindle, you will get the opportunity to:
