Best of all, digital copies tend to be more affordable than the actual book. Be it a desktop, tablet, or smartphone, you will have the same books, bookmarks, notes and highlights in your account. Amazon brings the Kindle free app to multiple platforms. It may not be as pleasurable as holding the copy in your hand, but it is more convenient. In fact, more e-books are published annually than paper-based books. Nowhere is this truer than physical copies of books.

I still prefer the iPad app more, but if you are in a pinch, the Kindle for Mac app is a good substitute.Whether you like it or not, more and more things are being replaced with digital copies. The app does just what you need it to do read ebooks. Overall, the Kindle for Mac app gets 3/4 stars from me. It’s incredibly similar to the way Final Cut Pro opens. The other thing that I do not like is that when you open the app and it has one of those open windows where it shows you the percentage of how close it is to opening the app. The issue is consistent in the iPad and iPhone versions of the Kindle app too.

I could be on page 37 of my book and it would say I have 6,000+ pages to go. However, the one thing that I hated about the app is that the page number or page count was inaccurate for both books that I read. It makes you feel like you are reading a real book. I also like that in the settings, you can make it so that the pages make a flip animation whenever you turn them. With the Mac getting bigger on Dark Mode, it’s good to see that Amazon is adequately updating its app to accommodate for that. With that said, when I came across the Kindle for Mac app in the Mac App Store, it was something that I had to immediately download.Īfter using the app for a couple of weeks, the first thing that I do like about it is that it has a Dark Mode to it. I carry my MacBook Pro and iPhone charger in there, as well as my Apple Watch charger, so there is not much room when it is all said and done and everything is packed. The reason for this is that it simply clogs my laptop bag too much. Still, there were some days where I did not want to have to bring my iPad fifth generation to work. A couple weeks later, I got an internship at a local station in my hometown, which would allow me the time on my breaks to be able to read my new ebooks.

For Christmas last year, my brother bought me a couple books from the Amazon Kindle store.
