How to buy and read Kindle books on your iPhone
The iPhone is a great ebook reader — perhaps even better than a standalone Kindle reader — because it runs a wide variety of ebook apps, putting millions of electronic books at your fingertips.
But if you want to read Kindle books on your iPhone, you need to buy the books and get them installed on your iPhone first. This isn’t quite as straightforward as it might seem, because you can’t purchase books using the iPhone Kindle app, or even the Amazon app.
Instead, you need to buy your Kindle books in a web browser. You can do that in a browser on your computer, or using the Safari app on your iPhone. It doesn’t matter where you buy the book, since it’ll be available in every Kindle app and device that’s signed into the Amazon account you used to buy the book.
Check out the products mentioned in this article:
Amazon Kindle (From $89.99 at Amazon)
iPhone Xs (From $999.99 at Best Buy)
How to buy Kindle books on the iPhone
1. Open the Safari app and navigate to Amazon.com.
2. If you’re not already logged in, sign into Amazon using your account information.
3. Find the Kindle title that you want to buy. Be sure that you choose the Kindle format. You can choose your iPhone in the “Deliver to” dropdown menu, but that’s not required — the book will be available on every Kindle app and device logged into your Amazon account.
4. Complete the purchase.
5. Now open the Kindle app. If a book is open, close it and go to the Library view.
6. You should see the book in the “All” tab. To read the book, tap its cover to download it to your phone.
