Kindle Cloud Reader

Kindle Cloud Reader - Read Kindle books in your browser, and shop on Amazon.com.

Kindle Cloud Reader is an Amazon web app that enables you to read your Kindle books instantly in any browser without needing a separate app. Customize your reading experience by adjusting font size, colors, and columns. Enhance your reading with features like notes, highlights, bookmarks, and word lookups with pronunciation.

The app uses Whispersync technology to seamlessly sync your progress, notes, and highlights across devices, letting you pick up reading exactly where you left off, whether on a browser or Kindle device. You can also search within books for specific topics, access offline reading by saving books, and shop millions of titles from the Kindle Store—all updated automatically without downloads.

I used to have the cloud reader on my Chromebook,and it mysteriously went away. Now the new version doesn't allow me to even read a book in my library. Can't begin to know how to fix it.

Extension safety

Risk impact
Risk impact measures the level of extra permissions an extension has access to. A low risk impact extension cannot do much harms, whereas a high risk impact extension can do a lot of damage like stealing your password, bypassing your security settings, and accessing your personal data. High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.

Kindle Cloud Reader requires very minimum permissions.

Risk impact analysis details
  • Medium Enables sending notifications which can be spammed but have minimal direct security impact.
Risk likelihood
Risk likelihood measures the probability that a Chrome extension may turn malicious. This is determined by the publisher and the Chrome extension reputation on Chrome Web Store, the amount of time the Chrome extension has been around, and other signals about the Chrome extension. Our algorithms are not perfect, and are subject to change as we discover new ways to detect malicious extensions. We recommend that you always exercise caution when installing a Chrome extension.

Kindle Cloud Reader has earned a fairly good reputation and likely can be trusted.

Risk likelihood analysis details
  • Low This extension was updated more than 6 months ago. Older versions are more likely to be stable and safe.
