So my home began to acquire the look of a small library. Then came Kindle. Quite small at first, not every book that I liked was available.
But all the new ones were. I am an avid reader and love the kindle app. My husband used to hate when I read in bed as he said that the light being on and the turning of the pages kept him awake. No problem with the kindle as long as the screen is facing away from him! Only problem that I have found with the latest update is that if I have been looking at other things on my iPad and then come back to the kindle app, I often get the home page and have to go through a series of procedures to get back to the book that I was reading.
The procedures include closing down other apps, pressing the app until it shakes - the process prior to deleting an app - then pressing the home page button. If nothing works then I leave it for a while and it usually sorts itself out when I try to re-open the kindle app.

Some little things I enjoy about this app are the customization options as well as streak keeper. Some examples of the customizing options are being able to change the view to white pages, black pages, and even newsprint pages. For the price of one book a month, what is there to lose..?
I really like the kindle app and am an avid reader. With that said there a number of enhancements that I would like to see. I have had 4 different kindles keyboard, touch, paper white, and oasis and an early Sony E reader. I read primarily on my iPad. Although the dictionary and highlighting are occasionally helpful.
I still think you need a better collection hierarchy. Some authors write romance, mystery, and paranormal. This should not be too hard with the database capabilities available. It would also be nice if there was an easier way to add multiple books to a collection. A setting to automatically remove a downloaded book after completion would also be helpful. Just a few ideas. I have a current big investment in kindle but if somebody else has a good library organization capability I might move on since this is really holding things back.
With hard copy books I can organize my shelves how I want, electronic organization should be even easier. I have been a kindle app user for many years. There have been improvements to the app that have kept me as a loyal user. Is there a way, and if not, then can I keep the sample as well? The only workaround I can think of is to copy and paste to a document or to screen capture my notes and highlights to transfer to maintain a copy of them. These are tedious workarounds, and would love a solution.
Yes, someone might ask, But why are you highlighting and making notes on a sample book? The following data may be collected and linked to your identity:.
