Amazon Kindle

Not every app has to be a lifesaver; some of them can just help you stay entertained with your favorite books. And the Kindle app is a strong choice for seniors who want access to Amazon’s huge ebook library. It turns your iPhone or iPad into an ebook reader, and it includes several features that make reading more comfortable.

You can adjust the font, margins, alignment, brightness, background color, page layout, and, of course, text size. Those options are especially helpful for seniors who struggle with small print in physical books. Instead of needing a large-print edition, they can make the text bigger right inside the app.

Kindle also syncs reading progress across devices. Someone can start reading on an iPhone, continue on an iPad, and pick up in the same place later. If you already buy books from Amazon or prefer digital over physical, Kindle is one of the most convenient options available.
