bosamar Well-Known Member Feb 27, 2013 #2 I think the problem the Kindle is DRM. Might be hard to get around that in certain cases.
K Knocks New Member Feb 27, 2013 #3 That's the whole point of the official app is that they want you to use it. Amazon does have a lot of books, but their ecosystem is messed up, which is why I prefer Nook. You can read PDFs or whatever the heck you want.

OP A Afy Member Feb 28, 2013 #5 I have the RT so am stuck with the crappy Metro Version. Have just applied the patch hopefully that will have fixed the silly issues with the app.

OP A Afy Member Feb 28, 2013 #6 Ah well at least the patch seems to have overcome the 12 book limit. Which is a start

N NickMilner New Member Mar 1, 2013 #9 The app seems a lot more performant than it used to be. Still not perfect, though.
H HB_xxx New Member Mar 3, 2013 #10 I've only had 1 problem with the Kindle app. Once it would work during offline use. otherwise it's been flawless. Guess i'm getting lucky
