I've tried re-downloading the file, but I get the same error message. Any thoughts?

And here are the answers to the 5 questions.Kat Berg wrote: ↑18 Feb 2018, 18:26 @Scott I have selected a book to review. The download format is using Kindle gift. When I go to Amazon to download it I am told that the Kindle book is no longer available, but I can receive an Amazon gift card instead. So the issue isn't that I can't open the file but that I can't even get it in the first place.

1. Did you try the solution above? Which one(s)--Option 1, Option 2, or Option 3? NO. I cannot even get the file in the first place from Amazon. It says it is no longer Available in the Kindle store. None of those options would have been at all helpful to me.
2. Do you get some kind of specific error message? What does it say exactly? See above.
3. What device are you using? I am trying to download it from the Amazon website using my computer.
4. Have you ever been able to open a mobi file in the Kindle App on that device? Every single time. I have, however, had a difficult time when using Kindle gift. The last time it was for an audiobook, however.
5. What other details or information can you provide to help troubleshoot? Any other details are helpful. When I reported the problem to Amazon they sent a message that they have given me a gift card to replace the book. They have not actually done that. I checked. Multiple times. I figured I could just get the book that way. The book page numbers do not match between Amazon and what was stated when I selected the book, so I do not know if this is an updated version, as there are more pages listed in the OnlineBooks blurb.
