You can't add the App to the Shelf, nor is it necessary.

A question for seasoned users, or those smarter than myself .......Have you encountered a book that doesn’t have page numbers? One of the books I’m reading has “location numbers” instead of page numbers. To reference a passage in the book do you write Loc 2534 of 4915? For some reason when I type in a location number it seems to go back to the page before where the location number is located. I just want to make sure I get it right when I am referencing any errors I note or any quotes.

It's better. Lol. The features it provides greatly exceed Play Books. The navigation is smooth. The notebook system is extremely helpful. However I don't understand why there are sometimes locations instead of page numbers. Otherwise, love it!!!

(Also, the number of free classics on Amazon that I can download to it because of public domain access makes me so happy. I finally have a copy of Treasure Island again.

Oh, that one I have an explanation for. Basically, it depends on the book, but some publishers don't provide page numbers for their books. So, the first thing to do is switch the read count, since it cycles between location, time left (chapter and/or book) and pages. If the pages aren't there, the publisher didn't provide it.Sinclairess wrote: ↑21 Mar 2019, 13:11 I am a voracious Google user. Google Play Books has been my go-to for a while.

I don't really have a remedy for this one, but with the location number, if you copy the text from the app, it should give you the specific location of that bit. The location number you usually see is the general number for that page on the app, so copy and pasting helps to get more detailed than that.Smiley 25 wrote: ↑15 Mar 2019, 06:19 I have enjoyed the Kindle app tremendously so far.
