With Android apps soon to go fully Chromebook-compatible, there’s little incentive for them to do so. For one thing, I’m getting review copies of new works as Kindle-compatible downloads all the time, and I can read them just fine on my Android mobile devices – but not on the Chromebook which is now my main working platform.Īlas, I doubt Amazon is going to do anything to solve this problem. When you have as extensive and as diverse a library as mine, that’s a real problem. What it doesn’t do, though, is allow you any kind of access to any Kindle or ostensibly Kindle-compatible titles you’ve sideloaded or swapped to your Chromebook, or have stashed on your removable storage. Yes, it does allow you to download the titles you’re currently reading for offline perusal if you so choose. Yes, it does provide a more than reasonable reading experience once e-books are open, even rendering line breaks in poetry, etc., perfectly.
Yes, it does sync my Kindle library to my Chromebook just fine.
The Kindle Cloud Reader, though, is a different story. That app handles EPUB files perfectly, and I see no reason why other EPUB e-reading apps shouldn’t do the same. And there’s the problem.Į-reading on the device is actually a pleasure – in Readium. I mean my Amazon Kindle library and all the titles I have stashed there – online or as MOBI file and other sideloads. As astute readers will probably have noticed, I recently picked up a Lenovo 100S Chromebook and have been enjoying the crap out of it.
