Kindle for Mac is a book reading application by Amazon. It allows you to buy and read books offered through the Kindle service.
Kindle allows you to buy books and send them directly to Kindle for Mac. But you can also download the beginning of books for free. These samples allow you to know what a book is about and read the first few chapters of them before you purchase.
Reading a book using Kindle for Mac is extremely simple. You can use the keyboard to browse through its pages or even the mouse scroll. You can add highlights and notes to any text. The search function is one of my favorites. It allows you to find any instance of your search query in the whole book. The search results show you a summary of the sentence where the text was found and you can go there by double-clicking the result.
All in all, this is a great app for reading books. There are over 700.000 books available for purchase, so you probably will find something you like.
Pros
- A built-in dictionary to look up word definitions
- Reading screen personalization
- Automated book syncing between apps
- Support for highlights and notes
Cons
- Produces random crashes on certain device models
I'm a Kindle user and this app is a must-have. Probably you won't read much using it, but it's really nice to have.
