Only after the next Android update (like he said that it would fix the bug).

Same here.

If you never highlight or annotate, Kindles might indeed fulfill your needs. They're just unusable for me. I was willing to put up with the limitations when the original first e-ink Kindle was released -- not in 2013.

Even on iOS? But, you know, fonts are only a small part of what's missing in the Kindle app for me. Being unable to save dozens of themes (like you can do in Moon+ Reader Pro) would be another unpardonable deficiency from my point of view. I dislike each of the 3 Kindle themes offered by default (can't stand solid-colour backgrounds, no matter of what colour; gotta have textures!).

Naturally! People have varying tastes. That's the hallmark of good-quality software: it allows users to adapt the software to their personal preferences. Kindle is (in my opinion) bad software because it lacks customisability, even on some of the most elementary levels.

Nope, from my perspective, Kindle software is hopelessly behind Moon+ Reader Pro on Android, and behind Marvin on iOS. It is clear as day that Amazon is satisfied with providing such bare-bones software. That may be fine for them and many of their customers -- but not for me.
