I need some help with a Kindle app on an iPad

[Winchester]

I have a Kindle Paperwhite. I don't like it. It's too small and I can't read the titles of my books. I thought about doing a return (Amazon lets you return a Kindle, they'll check the condition of it and then give you an amount to use toward an upgraded Kindle) and getting a Fire.

I have two iPads: an regular iPad 6th generation and an iPad Air 2. I don't use the Air 2 at all. I use the 6th G for everything: games, internet, library books.

I'm thinking of putting the Kindle app on the Air 2 and using the Air 2 as a Kindle. How do I get my books from the Paperwhite to the Kindle App on my Ipad? Can anybody help me? I feel like an idiot, but I just don't "get it"!

Thanks!

Here is what I found online

Transfer books from Kindle to iPad – summary

1. Step 1: Open your Kindle and sync books with your Amazon account.
2. Step 2: Open your iPad and download Kindle app from the App Store.
3. Step 3: Open Kindle app and register it with the same Amazon account as your Kindle.
4. Step 4: Download Kindle books you want to read on your iPad.

To add to what susanm9006 said, after you’ve done those four steps, you tap More in the app and tap Sync. The books should show up in Library!

Thank you! Charging the Air 2 now!

And…I have a Kindle! Thank you so much. I am using the Air 2 as a Kindle and also as my main library cache. Thank you!

Yay! That’s how I use my iPad…along with OverDrive to check out ebooks from the public library. And Hoopla for books and video.

I use Libby to check out books from my library. Rick’s Mom’s Kindle Fire doesn’t take Libby. I use Overdrive for her. The two are just different enough that I have a little trouble switching from one to the other for a couple minutes.
