Nowadays, reading is far different from how it used to be because digital books took over the world. Well, the OG book readers still prefer a physical book than having one device with just one click away. But if you’re the kind of person who likes digital, there are lots of great apps that let you read eBooks on your smartphone or a tablet.

You don’t need a Kindle device to read Amazon books. The Kindle app supports a host of different devices, including Windows and Mac computers and iOS, iPadOS, and Android mobile devices. While reading, you can easily: change the color, font, text size, line spacing, and other attributes; mark up and annotate text passages; use an X-ray feature to get more details on characters and other elements; bookmark your current page; and search for specific text.

If you need the definition of a particular word, highlight it, and a dictionary or Wikipedia entry pops up to describe it.
