The web app offers no such animation-the new page just appears.Īmazon allows Kindle users (in both its iOS apps and on its dedicated Kindle devices) to highlight passages in books and make notes about the text. The only difference is in what happens as you make those gestures: the iPad app shows an animation of one page sliding away and another sliding in (and in fact, moves the pages right under your fingers if you choose to swipe from one page to the next). The same gestures work on the Cloud Reader web app. In the native iPad app, you can tap or swipe to change pages. The native app can show book text in two separate columns when you rotate the iPad into landscape mode the Cloud Reader will only show you a single, wider column. One book I tested, Paolo Bacigalupi’s Ship Breaker, appeared justified in the native app and ragged-right in the web app, which I really can’t explain. (Both apps let you choose from black, white, and sepia color schemes.) Most of the books I read in the native Kindle app feature justified text, but some of the books in the Cloud Reader app appear to display with a ragged right margin.

The reading interface in the native app (left) and the web app (right). The web app displays most of its menu options via a toolbar that drops down over the top of the page, while the options on the iPad app fade in seamlessly over blank space.

In both interfaces, you can tap on the screen in order to toggle the display of various reading controls, including text settings, a link to the book’s table of contents, and a slider that lets you jump anywhere in the book. The reading experience in the two apps is quite similar, but here there are some notable differences, too. To see all books that have been downloaded, you tap on the Downloaded tab at the bottom of the screen. To store a book locally on your device in the Cloud Reader, you must tap and hold on its cover, then tap “Download & Pin Book” from the resulting pop-up menu. To read a book in the Cloud Reader, just tap on its cover art while tapping in the Kindle app will download the entire book to your device, the Cloud Reader web app will start loading the book over the Web and display it right away.

Recently Amazon’s Kindle app was updated to remove a link to the Kindle Store because Apple mandated it the only financial transactions allowed within iOS apps must use Apple’s purchase system, which Amazon can’t use due to the financial model of the ebook business. It’s hard not to view the Kindle Cloud Reader as Amazon’s attempt to find a way onto the iPad in a way that bypasses Apple’s restrictions on app development.

That’s great, but if you’re going to do a lot of reading on your Mac, you’re probably better off downloading the free (Kindle Cloud Reader doesn’t work on the iPhone.) That means you can read Kindle books on pretty much any Mac or PC. But it’s important not to miss the fact that Kindle Cloud Reader works on Safari and Chrome, too.
