Kindle for iOs is mature enough to provide good fonts and basic or simple features like black background and brightness control.
One key feature that I can't compromise is landscape mode on a single page form, not divided in two. This is horrible for technical books. I've found most reading apps out there, including iBooks, divide the screen in two when you're in landscape orientation; that's ok for most books but IT related books. |
I agree with you here. I used to convert all my Amazon books to make the fonts darker. That was when I read mostly on a Kindle. Now that I have the iPad mini Retina I find that the text is sharp enough to comfortably read most Amazon books without having to modify them. Occasionally I find a book that was formatted by morons and I have to modify it, but that is another story!
I disagree with DaleDe that the Kindle for iOS app is in the dark ages. It isn't as feature rich as Marvin, but it does have a nice set of fonts and enough formatting ability to make it work well with high pixel density LCD tablets. The Kindle for Android app is still in the dark ages though. But I cannot justify giving up Whispersync, real page numbers, X-Ray, etc. just for a few formatting bells and whistles.
