I was able to get it to work. For the kindle app on smartphones you have to download it to your laptop/desktop and then like with the Kindle Fire, plug in your phone and move it from downloads to the kindle app folder on your phone. If you just try to move it from the downloads on the smartphone it won't work.

Move the book to the kindle app folder on your phone, or save it on your pc and move it to the kindle app folder.Mdoucet1086 wrote:I'm on my iPhone and I can download the book in my google app just fine but how to I download it in my kindle app?

Is the book on your pc? Try to download it on your pc first and from there move it to your android. If still no luck, submit an error report, if you hadn't already.Mys_Trea wrote:I have tried all the suggestions I'v seen and still no joy. Any other advice?

I can try to help.cranej80 wrote:I am having the same problem. Getting it to download but can't open it.
Did you already try the solution in the OP?
Do you get some kind of error message when trying to open the file?
What device are you using?
