I got the Amazon gift, but I accepted it with the wrong account. I can’t get read the book now because I don’t have access to the other account right now. I am unsure of what to do, because my kindle is not connected to the account I accepted the book in.

Hi
I selected a book in .mobi format for review, Stevie Tenderheart Books - Billy Jack (The Great Escape), Review ID U4040970-R65600, but i am unable to read the book. I am answering the given five questions.
Ans 1.
Yes, I tried option 1. I get the following message:
None of your apps can open this file.
I have readEra, Kindle, Adobe reader, Google drive, and ebook Library app on my device.

2. I tried the ReadEra app which opens all mobi files including those from OBC.org. It says:
Unable to open the document, decoding error

3. I am using android mobile (motorola one vision) which I always use for my review work with OBC.

4. No, because I never needed it. Pl also see my answer #1.

5. The ebook Library app opens all other mobi files on my device. It opens the book Stevie Tenderheart Books - Billy Jack (The Great Escape),
Review ID U4040970-R65600, but shows only blank pages.
If there is a problem with the book, I would like to cancel this book.
For your information, I have successfully downloaded it with Kindle Unlimited. Is it possible to continue with it?
Please help me.
Thank you and have a good day.

Is there a way I can switch to a different method other than Kindle to read books?

I did not get the option of free download. Apparently Amazon doesn’t permit the kindle gift in my country so I guess I’d have to use VPN which I currently don’t have

I can't move it or read it because it seems to have disappeared. I chose to download it to kindle. My screen went blank and everything closed. It's not in my downloads or kindle file folder. If I try to download again it says the page is no longer available or its 2.99

Hello! This is my first time and I was just about to download the book I selected for a review but I can't download it for free. It said that I can download the ebook for free in amazon but it always directs me to the page where I must subscribe or start a free trial.

The ebook was originally formatted as Kindle giveaway and it said that I have chosen to download the book using an Amazon gift. The link also states, "click here to claim your free book from Amazon" and I wasn't expecting that I will still have to subscribe in order to claim it.

Again, this is my first time. I would really appreciate it if you could help me better understand what actually is Kindle giveaway and how does it work. It would also be lovely if you could help me how will I be able to cancel my review if ever I can't review the book I selected. Thank you!

I am still trying to download the book. I think my phone is having a space problem but trying to solve it. In short, I have not downloaded the book successfully.

I've tried all those methods. The book opens on Amazon, but there is no downloadable link. It is only possible to read it through the landing page

I can't download the ebook, it directs me to the page that I must subscribe and encode my credit card but I don't have one.
