Hi, Martin.

When you open the Kindle app, you are usually taken to the last book you were reading and the text of the book is mainly all that is available on the screen. You can use Explore by Touch to explore the text or, much more easily, use the two-finger swipe down to begin reading from the book from your current position.

To explore a menu of options, double-tap anywhere on the screen with one finger to bring up a menu of options.

Once the menu is available, there will be another button with the confusing name of "show menu" or words to that effect, a confusing name since the initial menu is already up at that point. However, double-tapping this additional menu choice presents you with chapters from the book's table of contents along with a library button. Once you double-tap the library button, you can access books which have been downloaded to your iPhone or all books which you have purchased. There are buttons for either Cloud or Device, the former showing you all books that you have purchased. Double-tapping each of those books downloads the book to your device, which, for you, is your iPhone.

Hello: I decided to have a look at the kindle app on my iPhone. I hadn’t used it for a while. To my surprise it appears to me to be no longer accessible. I am wondering if anyone else has found this.
