How to Buy Kindle Books for Your iPad
Although you can browse through and read Kindle Unlimited books through the Kindle app, you cannot actually buy Kindle books with the app because Apple limits what can be sold through an app. As a workaround, use the Safari web browser and go directly to amazon.com. Then follow these steps:
How to Use the Kindle App to Read iPad Books
The app is divided into five tabs that are accessed using the buttons at the bottom of the screen: If you do not want to use the 1-Click option yet, click Kindle Edition underneath the title and star rating for the book. That takes you to the full description of the book where you will have additional options.
Can I Change Fonts, Change the Background Color, and Search the Book?
While you are reading a book, tap anywhere on the page to reveal a menu across both the top and the bottom of the iPad’s display. The bottom menu is a scroll bar that helps you zip across pages. This tool is great if you are resuming a book you’ve already started from another source, like a paper copy of the book. The Kindle app should resume where you left off even if you read it on another device, so you shouldn’t need to skip around continue reading from a book you started on your Kindle. The top menu presents several configuration options. The most important is the font button, which is the button with the “Aa” letters. Through this sub-menu, you can change the font style, the size, the background color of the page, how much white space to leave in the margins, and even change the brightness of the display. The search button, which is a magnifying glass, will let you search the book. The button with three horizontal lines is the menu button. Use this button to go to a specific page, listen to the audio companion, or read through the table of contents. On the other side of the menu is the share button, which will let you send a text message with the book’s link to a friend, a bookmark of annotations, the x-ray feature that brings up information about the page (including definitions of some of the terms), and a bookmark button.
