How To Use Kindle iOS App?

Kindle iOS app is getting popular among iOS users because this app enables users to read their favorite books as easily as reading it on a Kindle device. They can easily buy books on Amazon, but there are a number of things that can be done with Kindle iOS app, which I don’t know if you are aware of or not. You can create flashcards for studying in a better way, save articles for offline reading or import free classic books as well.



How to make flashcards for studying in a much efficient manner?

If you have a habit of highlighting passages while reading eBooks, and you also make notes on specific sections, then you can create flashcards in order to study in a much better way. Here is what you are going to do for that:
  1. To create a flashcard, you need to drag your finger over a specific phrase or the paragraph that you wish to read later. You can make a note by tapping and holding the line that you wish to create a note for. As you tap and hold a line, a menu will appear, which will have a note icon. Click on that to make a note.
  2. By tapping the top of the screen, you are going to see a drop-down menu appearing, which you will have to tap to the left.
  3. Tap ‘flashcards’ followed by tapping ‘+’.
  4. There is an option named ‘new deck from notebook’, which you will have to select.
  5. You can make changes, i.e., add or remove items from the flashcard deck if you want. Once you do so, tap ‘create’.
  6. You can now name your flashcard deck followed by tapping ‘save’.
Easily find Wikipedia Pages, Definitions, and Translations

There are certain words and phrases that we don’t know meanings of. Similarly, there are words that we need to translate or a person to find information regarding. You can easily go through the details of all these things by tapping and holding those words, phrases or paragraphs for a few seconds. Doing that will open a menu, which you can use to highlight the word that you want to know the meaning of or make notes, etc.

You will also see a window by the name of ‘Dictionary’ that will be in ‘blue’ arrow. Tap this arrow to download the dictionary, and you will begin to see definitions of the words you’ve selected. To open ‘Wikipedia’ window, you can swipe the window to the left.

Read digital magazines on Kindle iOS app

You can get digital magazines for free if you have subscribed to Amazon Prime. You may not like reading magazines on the small screen because of the uncoordinated text and pictures. But, there is no need to feel bothered because this problem can be resolved by tapping anywhere on the digital magazine. After you do that, you are going to see a few options from which you can tap ‘text-view’ icon that is given on the right side of the screen.

Save web articles for offline reading by making use of ‘send to Kindle’ option

It is possible for you to use Kindle iOS app for webpage clipper just like how things work on Pocket and Instapaper. If you are using Safari to go through a webpage, then you can go through below-mentioned steps:
  1. Tap ‘share’ icon.
  2. Swipe through application icons and select ‘send to Kindle’ icon.
  3. Tap ‘send to Kindle’ icon to send a text to your Kindle library.
Open Kindle app and a pop-up will appear on the screen of your Apple device. Tap that pop-up in order to save it for offline reading.
