Once you’ve installed and set up the Kindle app, you can read Amazon eBooks on your smartphone or tablet. We’ll also explain how to update the app.
How to Install the Kindle App
You can install the Kindle app in several ways:
- App Store: You can download the app for free from the Apple App Store and the Google Play Store.
- Alternatively, you can find the apps for Android and iOS in our download section.
- Search for “Kindle App” on Amazon.de to find the apps for iOS and Android.
- To update the app, follow the same steps as for installation. Instead of “Install,” you should now see “Update.”
Setting up the Kindle app – here’s how
The Kindle app can be set up and used in just a few steps:
- Open the Kindle app and sign in with your Amazon account. After successfully logging in, the app automatically syncs your Amazon library and displays all eBooks linked to your account.
- You can now buy new eBooks or read eBooks you’ve already purchased. To do so, tap the menu in the top-left corner and navigate to the store or your library.
- On a book’s product page, select the desired format (usually “Kindle Edition”) and tap “Buy.” After purchase, the book will appear in your library; tap it to download and open it.
- You can filter titles by author, most recently opened, or most recently downloaded, sort books, create collections (folders), and remove books via “Delete from Device” without losing them from your cloud.
