About this APK

Amazon Kindle is an app by Amazon Mobile LLC in the Books & Reference category, listed since September 2011. It includes native code only for ARM 32-bit, so it won't run on 64-bit-only phones such as recent Pixels.

Since version 7.8.1.5, the APK grew from 52.9 MB to 147.2 MB and the minimum Android version rose from 4.1 to 9. It asks for 88 permissions, 10 of them sensitive, including precise location, approximate location and read phone status and identity. It asks for the same permissions as version 14.121.100(2.0.40027.0).

Description

From the listing uploaded by “iluvgames”.

The Kindle app puts over 1.5 million books at your fingertips. It’s the app for every reader, whether you’re a book reader, magazine reader, comics reader or newspaper reader—and you don’t need to own a Kindle to use the app. Choose from over a million Kindle books or enjoy popular magazines and newspapers, such as The Economist, The Spectator, The Guardian and The Daily Mail, with high-resolution colour images.* • Read Books — Choose from more than one million e-books including bestsellers such as Pride & Prejudice or Treasure Island and new releases and over 200,000 Kindle-exclusive titles that you won’t find anywhere else, including books by bestselling authors such as Phil Rickman. • Use the Built-In Dictionary, Google, and Wikipedia — The Kindle app has a built-in dictionary that allows you to look up words instantly while you’re reading your e-books. Simply press and hold a word to view its definition or use the Google and Wikipedia links to get more information. • Sync Your E-Books — The Kindle app lets you read the same book across devices and syncs automatically, so you can start reading on one device and pick up where you left off on another device. The app syncs your furthest page read, bookmarks, notes and highlights between Android, PC, Mac, iPad, iPhone, iPod touch and any of our Kindle devices using our Whispersync technology. • Sample Books Before You Buy — You can read the first chapter of a book before you decide to buy on Amazon.co.uk • Customize Your Reading — Choose your preferred font size, screen brightness, background color, and orientation (portrait or landscape) for reading your books. * Selection of e-books and e-periodicals varies by country.

Amazon Kindle APK: questions and answers

Is there a version of Amazon Kindle for older Android phones?

The current version needs Android 9 or later. Version 14.34.100(1.3.228187.0) is the newest listed build that installs on Android 5.0 and later. It is an old build: apps that rely on online services may no longer connect when they are this old. Get version 14.34.100(1.3.228187.0) · All versions

Can I install this APK over the version I already have?

Only if it is signed with the same certificate as the copy on your phone and isn't an older version. If Android says “App not installed”, the certificates differ; uninstalling your copy first works but deletes its data unless it is backed up.

Is the Amazon Kindle APK safe?

No one can promise that a file is safe, but some things can be checked. The source store rates this file Trusted. It is signed with the same certificate as the 2 other versions checked. After downloading, check that the file's MD5 is a8e7255872151c7c737a8e043297caf6.
