And it has no offline dictionary. And highlighting on Kindle is so much smoother, which helps if I can't figure something out on the go and want to bookmark it until I'm home... Plus there's a flashcards function, although I don't think I'm going to use it. My method with Mnemosyne is much more effective.

Have you become at all interested in flashcards, by the way? I mean, they aren't necessary, but I'm pretty much 100% convinced that my learning is going faster with them. And the fact that I couldn't use them while reading the book in google's app was kind of driving me nuts... Well, a bunch of words I just couldn't look up because I didn't have connection, but those I did, they're pretty much... gone... like tears... in the rain.
Sorry, I don't know what that has to do with anything. Well, those words, they might be really useful, except I'm not going to encounter them again within the next day or so, and so yeah, I doubt I'll remember them.
I haven't tried flashcards yet, I don't have enough storage on my phone to do an app (like tinycards on Duolingo), I have to literally delete apps just to update other apps, so I may have to make flashcards by hand.
