Read Kindle Books with Kindle Cloud Reader

What is Kindle Cloud Reader?

Kindle Cloud Reader lets you read your Kindle books on your web browser. If you don’t have a Kindle e-reader or the Kindle app, the Kindle Cloud reader is perfect for you.

The Kindle Cloud Reader is a web-based version of Kindle. It lets you read your books in a web browser.

Browser Compatibility

If you’re running a recent version of Chrome, Firefox, Edge or Safari, then the Amazon Cloud Reader should work just fine.It also worked perfectly on the iPad version of Safari for us, but the Android version of Chrome just redirected us to the Amazon Kindle site.

The only place this might really be an issue is if you’re using a device that no longer receives browser updates. In which case you shouldn’t be accessing the internet with it in the first place!
