Pros:

  • Large library of eBooks available from Amazon
  • Whispersync – Stay in sync with your Kindle device
  • Read first chapters of any book for free before you buy
  • Adjust the text size, add bookmarks, and view the annotations you created on your Kindle device

Cons:

  • Currently does not support newspapers or magazine subscriptions
  • Cannot purchase books directly from the app, but must purchase on Amazon.com (from PC, Mac or iPhone) or a Kindle
  • Does not support non-Amazon eBooks
