Customer Reviews

Not much point to recent update (1 star)
The fixes in the recent update were pointless. Everyone simply wants the ability to sort their books into groups. I can do that on my Kindle but not on my Kindle iPad app. iBooks does that extremely well. My frustration about this not getting fixed is going to push me to buy iBooks books instead of Kindle books.

Do Not Upgrade! (1 star)
The new version has dropped at least one feature, which for me was essential. When one highlighted a word, one could look it up not only in a dictionary, but also directly in Google and Wikipedia . That feature has been removed. Now if you want to look up the word in Google or Wiki, you have to leave Kindle, click Safari, and type in the word. Then, to resume reading the book, you have to do the reverse operation. So if this missing feature

Where are page numbers? (1 star)
This update is bad. Why would you get rid of page numbers? Who cares about being at 'location 1500 of 3500'. Give me pages. Please fix!
