You can't easily move a file to the Kindle App because Kindle App uses cryptic format than any other reading app. If you are reading in PDF format or mobi format, kindle app isn't a good choice.

Hi,

We just a tropical depression here in Fiji, so the electricity was done for the whole country.

Power has been restored today, so will get on with reading and submit my feedback by tomorrow evening at the latest.

Thanks

I tried using number 1. I wasnt sure if this applied to me since it is a pdf file, not a mobi. I am using an android mobile device and I have been able to open pdf files before this one on my device. The error message says "invalid file, remove the downloaded item from your device and redownload from the all items list". Im not sure what else to do.

You should try to download it on your PC, and then move it to your device.
