Kindle Cloud Reader

Kindle Cloud Reader is a web-based version of Amazon Kindle that allows you to access your Kindle books. It works the same as the Amazon Kindle, but this is a web-based version of the Amazon Kindle app. The Kindle Cloud Reader comes automatically when you have an Amazon membership where you can access a library of books online. If you have used the Kindle from Amazon, you will find this app familiar. You can use it to search for books and store them for reading now or in the near future.

How to Use Kindle Cloud Reader

Use your Kindle Cloud Reader to launch the Amazon Kindle store. You can use this app on your phone or access the website version on your PC. Like Amazon Kindle, this app comes with a clean interface for ease of use. It has a simple search bar from which you can look up the books you need.

Kindle Cloud Reader offers a simple non-cluttered interface for those who need to access books the easy way. Unlike the several settings you have with Kindle, the Kindle Cloud Reader only offers a couple of controls to get you started with the Kindle store. This being a web-based store, you can use it even without downloading it and read books on the go. There are no features to let you customize your experience, but you will access books the same way you do on Kindle.

Get Kindle Cloud Reader Today

You can get Kindle Cloud Reader from Amazon. Once you are on the Amazon website, open the Kindle W-readers and Books tab and scroll all the way to Apps & Resources. You will get the Kindle Cloud Reader URL from this section. If you have the URL, you can copy-paste it into your browser’s address bar.

With this web-based version of Kindle, you do not need to have a Fire Tablet to read your books from the Kindle store. You can conveniently access Kindle Cloud Reader from your computer, laptop, and tablet among other devices as long as you have a web browser.

What Features are in Kindle Cloud Reader?

You can search for books on Kindle Cloud Reader as you would on Kindle. There is a search bar there to get you started. Once you get your books, you can organize them into Recent, Author, Title, Purchase Order, or Purchase Order Reverse. You can view your books in a list or grid form. Click on any book to start reading.

Once you start reading, you will have a toolbar that lets you skip, jump from one page to another, type a page number, and manage your reading settings. You can choose a preview picture in the settings. Further, you can choose the color mode, font size, and margin options. Your text can appear as a single column or in double columns as you choose. These two views resemble a real book.

There is a bookmark button, notes, and highlights window, and library buttons to enhance the reading experience.
