The flaw with the magazine format was presenting the left and right pages at the same time so by default it was zoomed out to fit both pages on the screen at the same time thus making the text small and blurred. For the magazines, I would have to zoom in on the text in order to read it and use the scrollbar to get across the whole page. I was weary of buying the book digitally since I did not have a great experience with purchasing magazines in a digital format in the past through other applications, not Kindle. I was about to dock a star since there was an image of a table on a page that was hard to read but found that double clicking the image brings up a larger easier-to-read version. I was thrilled when opening the Kindle book I bought to see how beautifully rendered the text was and the ease of navigating through it. This is an impulse review so my opinion may change after awhile. I love Kindle and Audible and I hate to give it a bad review but on Mac, this app is garbage. I hate to buy the books twice because I obviously can only do this with the hard copy now (with the added inconvenience of not having the reference on the screen next to what I’m working on). It is infuriating to try to learn something while your app can’t stay on the intended page and 2/3 of your learning time is getting annoyed and fighting the program just to keep the page. I gave up on it a few times, then came back because I already paid for the book and was determined to get through it. When I ordered another book, this time on Python, it was the same wretched experience. Unfortunately, I forgot about that experience and, being busy with work, didn’t have time for Kindle until recently. Then I’d get it right and halfway through the page it would start doing it again. So then I’d have to go back the other way. Clicking to find the page would also result in it going much further than I intended it to. Then I would have to go back and find the page I was on. I didn’t click anything, I didn’t hit any keys. With no input from me whatsoever, the pages jumped forwards or backwards by 2-8 pages.
Seven months ago I purchased a book on Javascript and attempted to work my way through it. However, using it on MacOS is frustrating. I’ve used Kindle for years and I have always loved it.

I still prefer the iPad app more, but if you are in a pinch, the Kindle for Mac app is a good substitute.What does Kindle do? The Kindle app gives users the ability to read eBooks on a beautiful, easy-to-use interface. 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.
