Same as many other complaints listed. Pages skip back to old book marks. You have to search from last page read and find it yourself. Wont recognize when you click on a chapter, just goes back again. Tried uninstalling numerous times. Very frustrating.

Same as many others, no matter what book I'm reading since late June Kindle jumps back to pages it seems to randomly bookmark, cannot even select manually bookmarked locations or previous viewed on location bar.

Kindle app on Android starts and restarts in apparent random locations. Makes it very difficult to use - always have to remember and manually locate my last location.

Wont hold place in book when minimized just like all other recent posted issues. You gonna fix this? or do I need to back to nook?

Same as many above. If I click the center while reading to check notifications, or minimize and come back. Kindle has lost my place and the "jump back to" bookmark area doesn't work. Many pages or first pages of chapters also appear as blank when scrolling. Fix this!!! Losing your bookmark or not being able to jump back and forth between a map/reference page and your current placeholder is infuriating!

Kindle app loses my place if I minimize or leave the app. When I return I have to scroll thru the pages to find my bookmark. The goto icon does not bring me to the page shown.

Won't hold last page read

Won't stay on current page and can't use the go to or sync furthest page. Every time I stop reading it jumps to another page and I have to scroll endlessly trying to find where I was at. Bookmarking doesn't take me there. Neither does go to or sync furthest page. So frustrating!

Jumps back dozens of pages, so I have to keep scrolling through looking for where I'd got to.

When reading, if you tap the center of the screen to see notifications, Kindle looses it's place and can't/won't return to the proper place. Using the "back to" box refers to the proper location but tapping it does nothing. Even when you know which chapter you were on, it won't go to the proper location. I have uninstalled the app and reinstalled. Did not help. Very frustrating.

My kindle app on my phone is not opening or staying on my last page red. It always goes back a few pages.

The app has become essentially useless. Everytime I open it I get a random page. I cant open the same page twice, and every page is bookmarked if I use that feature.

Rod Bartlett

The pages are shuffled every time I open the app, and when I use the bookmark, every page is bookmarked. It is virtually impossible to open the same page twice.

My Kindle app stopped working yesterday morning. It opens and then immediately closes. I’ve re-started my iPad but no joy. It’s ok on my iPhone and my Kindle and I can read my books by going to Amazon on Safari and using the cloud reader but I’m not happy.

Using the "back to" box refers to the proper location but tapping it does nothing. Even when you know which chapter you were on, it won't go to the proper location. Between this and delivery issues with items purchased, I'm seriously considering leaving Amazon for good, including my Prime account.

My Kindle will not stay open. I have rebooted my IPad often and nothing changes. This just happened today. I am devastated that I can’t get into my library.

I just updated Kindle app on Ipad Pro 11 inch 2020 and it now crashes every time. I did a soft reset and the app worked for 10-20 seconds then crashed and crashes every time. So app is unusable.

Books appear I my library, but only grey cover, no title or author listed. When I tap it , it attempts to download it but only get blaxk scree and a timer circle then nothing happens. I have left it for up to 2 hours with nothing happening. I can re download book as I have no idea which book it is. It has been doing this for about 2 weeks.
