So far so good. I was able to read a book '1619 Project' that I hadn't been able to read on my chromebook since Kindle couldn't be installed. Continued from where I was reading on my laptop. Have not tried downloading and reading without a connection yet; will update later.

Buggy when used on Chromebook. Books uploaded to the library do not show up! There is no option to sync. Neither unregistering nor reinstalling the extension helps.

Absolutely rubbish! Unlike the android version, the chromebook version does not enable vertical scrolling, which makes it completely useless for me. SORT IT OUT AMAZON!
