    Why can't I read periodicals I purchase on my Kindle account? How hard is it to display magazine pages?
  • by Penny 6/18/2013
    Perfect! Now I can read without having to have a light on at night.

    I love Kindle, have used it on iOS and Android, expected the same level of functionality on WP, by no dice! It's missing a dictionary, books don't sync with the cloud, can't lock rotation, screen goes dim if you're on a page too long, the list goes on. Amazon, you have to update this app now!!!

    I'm really happy with the WP version. The Android version on my tablet is buggy, hangs up, and freezes, but never one problem with this one.

    Great theory, buttons don't work properly though. Books don't open, links don't do anything... Couldn't hit info, settings, or support. The store is not integrated, it takes you to a link. Don't waste your time until it updates.

    Lacks many features available in the Android and iOS versions. Live tile doesn't update when you switch to a different book. Its still displaying the book I read three books ago.
