    The reason why they don’t let you buy an ebook on the app is due to Apple and Google taking a 30% cut of all digital purchases in app. If they didn’t direct you to the website, ebooks would be 30% more expensive.
    Since Amazon owns Kindle, they can do direct purchases of books without the 30% tax.

    I feel like the people who say they can just read on their tablet or phone have never tried a Kindle. I love my Kindle. Reading on a tablet or phone gives me headaches, has distractions, and keeps me awake. Reading on a Kindle is 1000x better!

    I kind of want a Kindle, but I don't like that it's only black and white. That's one annoying thing about e-readers for me. A lot of the physical books that I read are very colorful and not just all text, so I enjoy the colors. That's really the main thing that keeps me away from Kindle still.

    I love that stats too and hope that someday they add them to the kindle os. I have a kindle paper white. I can’t live without it, if it breaks I’m buying a new one instantly. Before I bought my kindle I rarely read. Since I got it I read a book per month. I don’t plan on buying a new one until they come out with one with color e-ink. My two cons of the app vs the device is the black and white library and lack of the stats on the device.

    Appreciate your comparison....and where I did purchase my Kindle Paperwhite Signature last week, it's currently on sale for $55 less...so, I'm returning it. There are reasons I do like it, but many more that I don't. My main gripe is it's hard to return to a home screen, when I'm reading a book. I've learned how to drop down one screen which only gives me the brightness control, but the main screen that brings me back to home shouldn't be that hard to initiate. Nonetheless, I have initiated a return on my Kindle Signature which I paid full price for along with the cover I chose and will take advantage of the new sale or not...simply because....my intent to hiking the Appalachian Trail from Georgia to Maine. I can read a book on my amazing 512gb S22 Ultra if I choose or even have any energy by the end of the day!

      yes it syncs! it’s connected to your amazon account so as long as you’re signed in on the same account your purchased it will be in your library! it also syncs your place in the book so if you want to read but left your kindle at home your app will pick back up where you left off and vice bersa
