The Kindle app lets you read your ebooks purchased on Amazon, of course, but it has other useful functions you might not know about. Patrick Allan from LifeHacker explores these functions:
Study Terms and Key Concepts With Flashcards
If you’re like me and are constantly highlighting passages in your Kindle books, and making notes on particular sections, you can create flashcards out of those for studying later.
Look Up Definitions, Translations, and Wikipedia Pages
If you see a word you don’t know, a phrase you can translate, or a person, place, or thing that isn’t familiar to you, the Kindle app makes it easy to look up. Simply tap the word and hold for a moment.
Make Reading Digital Magazines Easier
Simply tap anywhere in the magazine to bring up the view options, then tap the text-view icon up in the right corner (it looks like a piece of paper with writing on it), in order to adjust font.
Use “Send to Kindle” to Save Web Articles for Offline Reading
The Kindle app can also be used as a web page clipper, similar to apps like Instapaper and Pocket.
Fill Your Kindle Library With Free Classics
