Certainly is, you just need to search 'kindle' on google play and it will pop right up. Or I believe this link will take you there. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.amazon.kindle&hl=en_GB
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.amazon.kindle
You can also get the kindle for android app. At 37mb im not downloading it because then I'd have to remove, erm, scientific material from my phone to make space for boobs i mean books
Doing a web search is pretty easy.

Note: that Amazon link /u/kickstand gave you does have a Kindle option for an ebook if you still want an atheist version. The Kindle app is available for android.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.amazon.kindle
Unless I don't understand a special use case - won't Amazon’s Cloud Reader app available in the Chrome store do this for you?
Of course the Kindle App. is alway there if your Chromebook can run Android Apps.
I'm looking in to it, but not for at least 3 months. Long story short, but I went exclusively with Amazon, but that only lasts 90 days and then I have to reassess whether I want to go exclusive with them for another 90 days.

I've never tried this myself, but there is a free kindle reader for android.
If for example you have an Android tablet, there is an app for Kindle itself and even apps from third parties. You can read your ebooks on those. Those tablets also come with browsers so you can browse the web properly (in browsers optimized).
The Amazon Kindle app provides for creating groups of PDF's & easily choosing one to read. I don't understand what you mean by "automatic bookmarking". https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.amazon.kindle
(The Nook app works similarly, but is visually difficult.)
Existe o aplicativo do Kindle para o celular e para o desktop, justamente com a finalidade de sincronização. Não precisa ter, necessariamente, o dispositivo. Dá uma verificada.
And for anyone else interested, here is the Android app.
There are a lot of free ebooks on Amazon, too, if your library doesn't have an e-library or all the ones you like are checked out.
The Amazon Kindle app has a feature called Word Runner that displays the text word by word. I'm not sure if it's what you're looking for, but it should be pretty close.
Came to say that. There are apps on the Play Store that will read .epub (the most common e-reader format), .mobi (Kindle's format), and almost any other e-book file type. As far as apps, there's the Kindle app, of course, and I use the Aldiko app on my tablet to read e-books of all stripes.
Kindle. It's not the best reader, but it has one killer feature: sync. It can keep your place among tablets, phones, and Kindles. It will even sync personal documents, including any book (regardless of source) by simply sending it to a free Kindle email address.
You should be able to view it on your phone and desktop as well. Here is a link to the Android application of the Kindle application: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.amazon.kindle&hl=en
I don't know if you have it already, but if not, use this app. It's the official Amazon Kindle app, and you can read pretty much anything from your Kindle library on your phone.
- Amazon Kindle - what I use to read books.
- Another Widget - widget that replicates the function of the one from the Pixel Launcher, calendar and weather too.
- Backdrops - still the best wallpaper app imo, the daily ones are very unique.
- Bitwarden - best password manager from what I've used.
- Blokada - not on the Play Store, it's an open source ad blocker.
- Daylio - great mood tracker, you can set reminders and add what activities you've done, and leave notes as well.
- Egg, Inc. - fantastic idling game, it is f2p yes, but the game showers you with currency, and since you're not playing against other people it doesn't matter. top notch presentation and prestige system.
- Fluid NG - really nice gestures, the little bubble that shows up when you're switching looks good.
- Game Dev Story - classic Android game, you're managing a game development company. it's way more addicting than it sounds, trust me.
- Google Opinion Rewards - free money, why not.
- Kustom LWP - for some great home screens.
- Kustom Widget - for some great home screens. Use this if you don't want to replace your whole layout but want to harness the power of KLWP.
- List My Apps - what I'm using to make this list :D
- Look of Disapproval - for all these awesome emoji ಠ_ಠ ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) etc.
- Minecraft - great game. touch controls are bad but whatever, it's what I'll usually pull out when there's a long ride ahead and I don't have much data left.
- Netflix - self explanatory.
- Nova Launcher - I've used basically every launcher on Android and I still come back to Nova. At this point I could navigate the settings blind folded.
- Pocket - best app to read articles later, I save some dota articles here to read when I'm ready to play.
- Reachability Cursor - I just discovered this one recently, you can control a virtual cursor at the top of the screen using a little slide out from the bottom of the screen. helps when you're too lazy to move your hand up.
- Sesame - complements Nova Launcher really well.
- Sleep - fantastic sleep tracker. I have it set so that it rings when the sun rises here, and then pull the curtains before I sleep so that I wake up to some beautiful sunshine. also makes me do 5 maths problems so I actually have to wake up.
- Snapseed - best editing app on android, sometimes I'll use VSCO for the filters but the actual edits are always on Snapseed.
- Solid Explorer - my favourite file explorer on Android.
- SwiftKey Keyboard - I switch between this and Gboard frequently, but I'm using this right now, it feels more natural to use.
- Sync Pro - I've used every reddit app that I can think of on Android, and this is the one I come back to most often. It's a great all around reddit app, and the AMOLED mode is up there with the best.
- VLC - in case I'm going on a long trip and I don't feel like playing Minecraft, whip out some movies and watch on VLC.
- YouTube Vanced - not on Play Store. Basically YouTube Red + AMOLED theme.
I've seen a lot of must haves covered already, so I'll go in depth. These are the apps any student should have:
- Anki (no link yet, still gotta reinstall) for flashcards
- Amazon Kindle Read your Kindle books and personal documents (Read: books that do not come from Amazon) on your phone. Also installs a share menu add-on that lets you send files to your Kindle reader.
- Brave Chrome, but with a huge speed boost and the most powerful Adblocker in a mobile browser
- CamScanner It allows you to quickly scan documents using your phone's camera and optimising the result. Office Lens is a another good one, especially if you're invested in the MS ecosystem
- ClearLock allows you to lock yourself out of distracting apps for a set period of time. Similar to Cold Turkey for PC, but a lot easier to bypass
- Forest Takes a better approach at productivity. No, Cold Turkey isn't possible on Android, so this App goes the opposite way, giving you an incentive to work. Set the amount of time to work and the tree you want to plant and just lock your phone and don't get out of the App. Further incentive: if you upgrade to the pro version for $1, the more you focus, the more you contribute to planting actual forest on this planet!
- Goodtime is a lightweight yet powerful Pomodoro App
- Keep Notes App. I recommend OneNote for your class notes, but Keep totally does replace your post - its and it makes them accessible from anywhere.
- Pocket is great for pinning content from the web and reading it later, offline.
- Pocketshare allows you to mount your phone as a drive on your computer, wirelessly. Just create a internetless hotspot or be on the same network, there you go! Useful in class to share files between phone and PC if you forgot your cable home.
- Quickoffice Nothing exceptional, but it's very lightweight and it can handle any Office file you throw at it. As a student, you need something to open Office documents - I know it looks lame, but you'll only miss it when you realize you didn't install it. QuickOffice (from APKMirror) is the msot storage - friendly way to do just that. A no - bullshit, minimalist office App that will open and create Office files.
- Send Anywhere is the most advanced file sharer ever. Great to send files across your devices using the Internet. Get everyone else to download it so you can use wi-fi direct, the evolution of Bluetooth!
- Solid Explorer It's a file manager that also supports cloud storage. For example, we have a shared Dropbox for class notes. You'll need it.
- Stop, Breathe & Think : Guided meditation to help your stress management skills. I'm using it right now and the results are beginning to show already!
- Twilight Use your phone at late hours without it keeping you awake forever
- Word Good for quick edits on the fly
- Wunderlist Best to do list manager

You can get the kindle app for pretty much all platforms.
There is a Kindle Reader app available form play.google.com. Its free. It runs on every Android I've ever owned. It syncs with your Amazon account and can download any ebooks you've ever purchased. You can have it installed on multiple devices. When you purchase new ebooks you can choose which device to initially push the ebook to, but you can still download it on all of your other devices. Kindle App
There is also a Kindle plugin available for the Google Chome web browser that, like the Kindle App, gives you access to your Kindle books. Further, the kindle apps and the browser plugins sync between devices so you can pick up where you left off no matter what device you're reading on. Chrome Kindle Plugin
There is a Nook app. I don't have any experience with it, but I'd imagine its similar to the Kindle App. Nook Reader App
There is also an app called Overdrive that lets you check out ebooks from your local library. Overdrive App
I only mention this next bit to warn you off of it. Amazon has something called the Amazon Prime Lending Library. This is different than the Overdrive library mentioned above. If you have Amazon Prime and own a Kindle (this only works on Kindles), you can borrow any Amazon ebook that bears the 'Prime' tag. The ebook has to be part of the Prime. The real book may be part of Prime, but that isn't enough. The ebook has to have the Prime tag on it and there aren't that many of them. At least not ones that you'd want to read. The selection is pretty rotten. It's nearly all crap. If the book is good or even just popular, its not on the list. You like Steinbeck? Graham Greene? Anne Rice? Mary Shelly? Tom Clancy? John Grisham? Clive Cussler? Jim Butcher? Don Pendelton? None of them are in the Amazon Prime Lending Library. You know what is in the APLL? Self published crap and books so bad that nobody would pay for them. Basically, don't rush out and get a Kindle and Amazon Prime thinking that you're going to get any use out of this program.
You can make Amazon accounts for free and download all of the free books on Amazon, which change regularly, onto whichever device you use with the Kindle App on iPhone or Android.
You can actually browse the website on your computer and tell it to download the book onto your device when you open the app again so long as you are logged into the same account.
You can even search organized with the price lowest to highest and every free book in whichever category you are looking for will come up first.
For those of you who don't have an actual Kindle, don't fear!
You do not need a Amazon Kindle appliance to view and read Kindle books:
1) Kindle Cloud Reader is a website https://read.amazon.com/
2) IOS or Android apps

Amazon Kindle app does this! link to playstore
I used to always have a paperback sticking out of my pocket. Thats no longer necessary.
iOS, Android och om man är lagd åt det hållet, Windows Phone
amazon had the biggest range that was pre loaded on a lot of devices https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.amazon.kindle&hl=en
I believe the Kindle app will read them.
For Android: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.amazon.kindle
For iOS: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/amazon-kindle/id302584613
For Windows Mobile: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/p/amazon-kindle/9wzdncrfj2jf
For PC: https://download.cnet.com/Kindle-for-PC/3001-2125_4-75185974.html
For Mac: https://download.cnet.com/Amazon-Kindle/3001-20412_4-75165421.html
So you have something like this right now
https://i.ytimg.com/vi/00tmliWHDZw/maxresdefault.jpg
and you'd like to be like this https://cdn.slashgear.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/09/Kindle-Navigation-Bar-2.jpg ?
which is similar to current Kindle app design https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.amazon.kindle&hl=sr&gl=US
I don't think it's possible, current Kindle app requires android 5.0, and your Fire hd is stuck on 4.1 version.
The app should be free. This one seems to be at least:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.amazon.kindle&hl=en\_US&gl=US
You should be able to download it through the Amazon Kindle reader app - you can see it here https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.amazon.kindle&hl=en. Are you using it by any chance?
Hey there!
Thanks for this post, it is really useful to see what other fellow ePads users are enjoying. The apps that I use the most are:
Amazon Kindle Reader - the version that we have out of the box seems to be really optimised for our ePad and also it does not consume much battery at all
Feedly - this is probably a competitor to pocket? RSS reader which in my experience works better in light mode compared to dark mode
GoodReads - to look up new books and save my want-to-read books
Note app - am still using the out of the box one, but I really need to find an alternative for two reasons: there is no handwriting recognition and it crashes all the time (with data loss of course!)
I don't do browsing on the ePad, I find it cumbersome to scroll pages with the slow refresh of the screen (but it might just be me!)
Let's hear form the others!

Use the Kindle App instead?
I'm not talking browser, I'm talking downloadable Kindle app. Isn't that an Android device?

or
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.amazon.kindle&hl=en_US
You're looking for this
If I remember correctly, Amazon Kindle can read PDF files and to my knowledge has an integrated dictionary.

I'm not really sure what you're saying here.
Are you saying that the Kindle App is not available on all platforms? Because you're wrong.
Iphone - Android - Mac - PC - Browser
Because you seem to be deviating into hardware here, which is irrelevant to your point above about using Kindle Apps on non-Kindle devices. No hardware is REALLY different from any other--an iphone is like an android with a different dress on. A kindle is like a Nook with different shoes. They're all similar.
