Developer’s description available here
The Kindle app puts over a million books at your fingertips. It’s the app for every reader, whether you’re a book reader, magazine reader, or newspaper reader—and you don’t need to own a Kindle to use it. Choose from over a million Kindle books from the Kindle Store or enjoy popular magazines like The Economist and Reader’s Digest with high-resolution color images.*
• Read Free Books—Choose from thousands of free ebooks such as Pride & Prejudice or The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes.
• Shop for Books—Easily shop for ebooks, including new releases and New York Times Best Sellers.
• Use the Built-In Dictionary, Google, and Wikipedia—The Kindle app has a built-in dictionary that allows you to look up words instantly while you’re reading your ebooks. Simply tap and hold a word to view its definition or use the Google and Wikipedia links to get more information.
• Sync Your eBooks—The Kindle app lets you read the same book across devices and automatically syncs where you left off so you can start reading on one device and pick up where you left off on another device. The app syncs your furthest page read, bookmarks, notes, and highlights between Android, PC, Mac, iPad, iPhone, iPod touch, BlackBerry, Windows Phone 7, and any of our Kindle devices using our Whispersync technology.

Needs to be faster and let us have a smaller font. Nov 24, 2012
Was a great app, since updating it's incredibly slow to start and for some reason the older app let me have a small font on my hi-res phone screen, the new one's smallest font size is enormous! Perhaps I'm just cynical but can this have anything to do with the Amazon's own kindle devices having larger screens and them wanting people to buy a full size kindle?

Great for reading , great dictionary, BUT.... Nov 18, 2012
I love reading with this app and the integrated dictionary is the best around. However, the sync function doesn't work between my Samsung S3 and my Fire HD. Not too bad, it is still the best reader app around. When the sync issue is fixed it will be awesome. ...... Also, can't seem to view subscribed magazines through the app. That is a bummer. :(

This is an excellent app, and well worth the money. Best German-english translation anywhere. These latest update stopped working with jelly bean. Hopefully this is fixed soon. Thanks! -Note: Soon after I wrote this, the problem with Jelly Bean was fixed. In my case it required uninstalling and re-installing the app, but that was due to a problem on Android's end, not with the app. Extra functionality for use with the tablet was also added (mostly with the layout), which makes this app even better. Thanks!
