Whenever I try to download the books after not being able to, it sends me to an email to write instead of downloading the book link like it’s supposed to.

I cannot open the file into kindle. I successfully opened one once but it showed up as html text and was incomprehensible. I have tried many many ways.
I have an iPhone and either I cannot transfer it at all or it won’t open.

1. No
2. No
3. Kindle App. On Android
4. No
5. When I chose my first book, I chose PDF to download. It would not open, so I downloaded the Kindle app from Amazon. When I tried to get the book again, it won't allow it because I originally chose PDF. Can this be changed so I can download it to read on the Kindle app? Thanks.

Hurrah ! 😋
After pasting your MOBI file to the Kindle folder, close your file manager and then open your Kindle app. As you can notice, the file has been already added to your carousel. If you still don't see it, just go to your Kindle app's menu then press “Sync”.

Once chosen, the format can't be changed. It says so on your Review Team Page. You can try to convert the file via the free Calibre App.

I got this as a PDF file, but for whatever reason, my mobile devices (galaxy tab 3 and galaxy s7) really don't like to open it without crashing. Have tried reinstalling kindle and restarting the devices. I don't have a computer with internet access, so transferring the file isn't an option.

I applied to review The Blacksmith's Arm but the download link says that the book is no longer available.

Hi Scott,

I selected White Jaguar by Preben Orman for my next review, but when I click on Amazon link it only shows the book and purchase price. I saw from earlier posts I need a coupon or code. How can I get that so I can access a free copy of the book. Awaiting your response.

Thank you.

I was reading The Unbound Soul, and was enjoying it. However it is now trying to make me pay for the book after finishing chapter 4.
