The backlit screen makes for great nighttime reading, and the battery life is decent.
Likewise, the Amazon Kindle Store offers probably the widest, relatively affordable selection of eBooks for iOS devices.
But there are limits and challenges you should probably know about.
I will explain shortly how they are useful.
The latest version of the Kindle Reader now has all your content in the cloud.
That means you’re able to access all your purchased books from Amazon’s server.
Accessing books from the cloud frees up storage space on your rig.
Downloaded items also be read offline on your rig.
The app now categorizes these items by kind.
Unfortunately those links no longer work because of restrictions put in place by Apple.
This way you’re able to search for and download Kindle books directly from the store.
But if you’re trying use the Reader for study purposes, you might find its annotations tools inadequate.
The Kindle Reader features very basic annotation tools.
It has a single yellow highlighter, a bookmarker, and small text window for notes.
The selection will also be found on your online Kindle account.
However, Kindle Reader is very inadequate for study purposes.
When you bookmark a page, the review window shows the first line of the bookmarked page.
Sadly, however, some publishers limit the amount of highlighted pages that can be reviewed online.
Another option is to use the Kindle Cloud Reader, referenced earlier.
It provides a slightly better option for viewing your annotations.
No doubt, over time, the Kindle reader will get more improvements.
