Amazon Kindle

I love Kindle! I never thought I would enjoy reading a book from an electronic device. It took me about a year after I first installed Kindle and bought my first ebook before I really got into electronic reading. Now I would much rather read a book through Kindle than a physical book. As a kid, I was taught not to write in my books, so I absolutely enjoy being able to highlight passages in multiple colors, attach notes on pages, bookmark as many pages as I want. LOVE Kindle!

I love to read and I love Kindle but since the book ordering format has changed, its less convenient. Also, my Kindle app has been stopping frequently and I have to close out and open again. I always have to re-download the book and a couple weeks ago, all my downloads disappeared. I had to uninstall and reinstall just for it to work. I'm not sure what happened but there seems to be an increase in "issues" so I cant gove it the 5 stars I want to.

This app used to be amazing with whisper sync. Now, it constantly glitches. I have to restart several times to get audio book to load. When it does, it's often back at the beginning of the book, and I have to hunt for where I left off. When it works, it's awesome & autostarts w the car. Mostly, it doesn't work. I have to stop the car, close the app, reopen the app at least 2x (it says book needs to be downloaded again), then find my spot. Generally, I can't stop, so can't listen. Frustrating!!!

I love the app but for some reason it just will not let you click on the "tap to download audible" link. It's basically just text. When you can sometimes get it to work, when you open the app the audible option doesn't always appear. You have to close it out and restart and clear cache and all that stuff. The integration with the audiobook could be better.

This seems the only way to show how disappointing it is that Amazon is now refusing to allow digital content downloads. I know I'm only a drop in the bucket, but I will no longer purchase any book for Kindle again and my hope, is to avoid with all possibility, purchasing anything through Amazon. When we pay for a product, even a digital one, we should have the right to read in whatever format we choose. This is greed, plain and simple. And it's wrong.
