Anyone here use the Kindle app on the XS Max to read books? I know it has a super screen and text looks fantastic. But what about the whole Kindle experience considering the size of the screen and app functional quality. I mean is it good enough that you just use the Max instead of the Kindle all the time? Or is it just adequate?
Got a tip for us?

The app works great. Text looks excellent. You could switch to just the app and be fine, but a Kindle is good to have for a distraction-free experience. It’s nice to “unplug.”
I haven’t used a Kindle or the app in years. iBooks on the Max works well for me.
I prefer iBooks but also use kindle app as I used to have a kindle years ago. Went from iPad to iPhone 8 to Xs Max. I love it. Makes reading enjoyable. Especially in dark environments. I read a lot on my Xs Max. One less device to carry around. And I can read anything.
I use it all the time. I gave up on my kindle I don't read enough to deal with the hassle of keeping them synced. I mostly read at night and the max is better for that.
Thanks for info folks. Yes, I am primarily wanting to use the phone as a reader whilst traveling so I don't have to carry another device. Kind of wed to Kindle due to our local libraries providing free loan of books in that format. I have never used a Kindle app on a phone or PC so I don't know what is involved for synching to the Kindle, or if that is even possible. Might just have to download separate copies to the other devices? Something more to research.
