@Tgoody53015 Have you already tried the solution in the original post regarding moving the file to the books folder?Tgoody53015 wrote:I am new to the site and this is my first book that I am trying to download in order to review. I have downloaded the Kindle app onto my iPhone and made sure that I have my preferences updated to ensure that I was able to download the book to the app. When I try to download the book, it has me open my app store instead of the kindle app. When I hit the open button in the app store since I already downloaded it nothing happens. Anyone know how I can fix this issue so that I can begin reading this book?!
thank you

Mine did that. Turns out on my computer there were two kindle reading apps and I was using the wrong one. I needed the Kindle for PC app which was different to the kindle app that came with my computer. I then downloaded that from the amazon website.literarycat wrote:It is mobigali wrote:What format is it? Maybe you have to convert it to mobi.literarycat wrote:
I am having the issue of the file will download but will not open in my Kindle app. It keeps telling me no application on my device can open it.
Hope this helps
