Therefore you can adjust the look of the text to what your needs are here and now. My preferred typeface is Bookerly , the modern font designed from scratch exclusively to be used in Kindle e-readers and apps. If you need a heavier typeface, you can always pick up the original font from Kindle e-readers — Caecilia. Amazon has also added a bold face, addressed to readers with vision problems.
Many book-reading apps offer a selection of backgrounds so that users can pick up the one that suits them most. Besides White, you can set Sephia, a color scheme designed to ease the eye strain and resemble the look of the page from an old print book. This option is not good, however, if you want to read ebooks outside. The Black color of the background is combined with white font. Besides standard reference tools, such as a dictionary, Google, or Wikipedia, Kindle app for iPad and iPhone has a few extra features that will allow you to learn more about the book and its author, better follow the plot, and discover the most valuable passages.
The easiest way to access all features is via Menu see the screenshot above, on the left. About This Book is a card with all essential info about the book and its author. You can not only access it from the Menu list. An even quicker way is to tap Info icon in the top right corner see screenshot below, on the left. It includes the title and author, accompanied by ratings and reviews. Below, there is a book blurb from a book detail page on Amazon.
Here, you will also find a share icon, which you can use to spread the word about the book you are currently reading. Below, the covers of other popular books written by the author can be found. Popular highlights are not listed in the About This Book section. If you want to find out what passages have been highlighted by other readers, tap the Menu icon and then Popular Highlights section see the screenshot below, on the left.
X-Ray is a unique featured available for some books in the Kindle Store. What is X-Ray? X-Ray is an all-in-one guide to characters, locations, and terms used in the book.
When you open X-Ray while being on a specific page, it will show on top the descriptions of characters and terms that are found on this page see the screenshot below, on the left. In the X-Ray list, the character is represented by the profile icon. Beneath, you will find all instances when the character was mentioned in a book.
The card presenting the terms is similar to characters but it includes the extended description from Wikipedia and a link to the full article. A bar with the presence of the term in the plot can be found under the description. X-Ray is a great way to analyze the plot, and see how it develops: how characters evolve, and where the action takes place.
In no time you can get free samples from as many books as you want. And there is no better way to check out whether the book is worth buying than reading a couple of first pages. If you are in the Library view see screenshot below, on the left and use the Search feature to find the book in your Kindle library, the app will also suggest the books from the Kindle Store that answer the search term you entered. Each suggested book comes with ratings.
When you tap the cover or title, the free sample will start downloading. Free samples are not synced between devices, so it will stay only in your Kindle for iOS app until you delete it. When you tap the book cover in Before You Go section, a short description will appear, and a button to try the free sample see the screenshot above, on the right.
The book lover who owns the iPad sooner or later will try reading an enhanced ebook. The first destination to check out interactive and enhanced books is the App Store.
The Books category lists many ebooks that are sold as standalone applications. Did you know you can also use the Kindle app to read ebooks enriched with multimedia, animations, and interactive elements? You can instantly switch it on and off with a tap of a button. There is, however, a way to listen to the Kindle book you have bought. What is Whispersync for Voice? There are over 60, Kindle books that come with audiobook narration. How to find them? Customize your text size, font type, margins, text alignment, and orientation portrait or landscape —and choose whether to turn pages from left to right or continuously scroll.
Read comfortably day and night with adjustable brightness and background colors. Go to the Aa menu in your book to get started. Simply tap and hold a word to view its definition, or use the Google and Wikipedia links to get more information. Open My Notebook to see all your notes in the same place. Switch seamlessly from reading your Kindle book to listening to the Audible book, all within the Kindle app. Some little things I enjoy about this app are the customization options as well as streak keeper.
Some examples of the customizing options are being able to change the view to white pages, black pages, and even newsprint pages. For the price of one book a month, what is there to lose..?
I really like the kindle app and am an avid reader. With that said there a number of enhancements that I would like to see. I have had 4 different kindles keyboard, touch, paper white, and oasis and an early Sony E reader. I read primarily on my iPad.
