Amazon has partnered with Peloton to allow users read books while exercising on home-bikes and treadmills. To access the Kindle library you need to log into Amazon account directly on the bike screen and navigate to the Entertainment tab at the bottom. The integration provides a rather weird reading experience. You can turn pages with a tap, adjust font size, quickly navigate between chapters create bookmarks to continue reading from where you left off and turn on full-screen display. This new Kindle feature is currently available exclusively in Australia, Austria, Canada, Germany, the United States and the United Kingdom.
2018. Amazon released Kindle Lite e-reading app

Amazon has introduced a streamlined e-reading app named Kindle Lite. It is just 2MB in size and is tailored for Android Go. It provides a similar range of features as the Kindle app, such as syncing your reading progress across devices with Whispersync, customized recommendations, night mode, navigating through the table of contents and adjusting font sizes. One of the advantages of Lite for markets with limited cellular connectivity or 2G networks is that it allows you to read books while they are being downloaded. This is beneficial if you have a large library stored in the cloud or if you've recently acquired a new title and want to start reading it immediately.
