Fire tablets are not Kindle e-readers. Amazon dropped the Kindle name from the tablets a few years back.

Is the Kindle App good? (lemmy.world)

I don't read to often but found out that it's cheaper to buy the books I do read on Kindle, is the app on phones good as I don't really think paying out for Kindle is worth it for me at the moment.

I can't gush enough about how much I prefer reading on the Kindle. But the app is okay, in my country I can't buy from the app, I think because Google doesn't allow in-app purchases that they don't get their 30% cut from.

You also need to download the dictionary on its own. It's similar to a kindle though and much faster then a kindle. Also great for quick reads say on short bus/train trips. Syncs quite alright as well.

I'd say download it imo, then get a few of the free or cheap books (some Agatha Christie novels are like a dollar!) Try it out and see if it works for you.
