Some people prefer to do this on a computer, especially on a day like Stuff Your Kindle day, when they want to click click click on a bunch of amazing free romance novels. I stay logged in to Amazon both in the browser and in the app, and purchases made on the website (inside the Kindle store) then automatically synch to my app after I one-click on them. You can buy a book, to keep forever, either in your phone’s web browser (Safari on iPhone, or Chrome on your Android). So how do I buy books to read in the Kindle app? Why can I only borrow Kindle Unlimited books inside the Kindle app? The short answer is, because the Apple app store and the Google Play app store would want to take a cut of the ebook sale as an “in-app purchase”, and because of the royalty structure, that would actually end up costing Amazon all of its profits on some of those books. I have that! The Kindle app! But I can’t buy books in it? I can only borrow inside Kindle Unlimited? These Kindle ebooks can be reader either on a dedicated Kindle device, or in an app loaded to a smartphone or tablet. Here you can either buy books (and keep them forever), or borrow books inside a subscription program called Kindle Unlimited. The Kindle store is the overall term for the online ebook store on Amazon.

For the most part, the Amazon Kindle takes you to the Library tab when you exit a book, so you can avoid the new Home section entirely if you prefer.This is a great question! And it can be kind of confusing, so in this blog post, I’ll break down the differences between the Kindle store, the Kindle app, and Kindle Unlimited. Given that the Kindle interface can be painfully slow to navigate, it's best to discover new books on the Amazon app or website, or a platform like Goodreads. These include other titles by the same author you're currently reading, more books based on titles you've recently read, and personalized recommendations based on books and genres you like to read. There is a shortcut to the Library right on top, but everything else is just recommendations based on your reading habits. Most users might not come to this screen unless they want to explore new titles. The Home tab on the other hand is just a list of recommendations.
You can also filter by type – choose between books, samples, documents, comics, and more. Tapping the filters button in the top-left corner will let you sort books by downloaded, read, or unread. There's also an option to view titles as a grid, list, or collections. The books are presented in a vertical scrolling list, but you can also tap the sorting button in the top-right corner (three stacked lines) to sort books by most recent, title, author, publication date, and more. So what's the difference between the two tabs? The Library tab is just what it says – it's the complete library of every e-book you've purchased or downloaded. The Kindle home screen has separate views for Home and Library.
