Kindle 1.40.1

Kindle for Mac 是 Amazon 推出的免費閱讀應用，讓 Mac 使用者直接在電腦上存取自己的 Kindle 書庫，不必另外添購電子書閱讀器。它最鮮明的特色是能與其他 Kindle 裝置自動同步書籤與閱讀進度，換裝置接續閱讀相當順暢。這套軟體自 2016 年起持續收錄版本，至今仍維持更新，在同類辦公商務工具中算是熱門選擇，不過使用者評價普通，評分人數不多，口碑不算突出。

這款軟體適合已經在 Amazon 購買 Kindle 電子書、且習慣用 Mac 長時間閱讀的人，尤其常用大螢幕看書或需要跨裝置接續進度的讀者。與 Microsoft Office 等文書軟體相比，它專注在閱讀體驗，功能單一但更貼近需求；不過它僅支援英文介面，對中文使用者較不友善，且免費授權但需綁定 Amazon 帳號才能使用，下載前不妨先確認自己的書庫是否以 Kindle 格式為主。

Amazon Kindle for Mac is a free application that allows users to easily access their Kindle book libraries directly on their desktop or laptop computers, with full support for a seamless reading experience, automatic syncing of bookmarks and reading positions with other Kindle e-reader devices, and much more.

The app empowers Mac users to instantly access digital books from Kindle and Amazon stores, without the need for any other dedicated e-reader hardware or software.

Developers of the app have included many customization options that users can use to optimize the way they interact with the written content. This includes tools for adjusting font sizes, line spacing, margins, background colors, highlight tools, bookmark manager, and others.

One of the most notable support services this app offers is a built-in glossary that enables anyone to highlight any word or name and perform a web search for additional information.
