My reason is not about how to use Kindle but its unavailability here in the country.

It's easy to follow instructions. I think so. 😊

Hi Scott, I'm currently using a Tecno Dpd8, I have already downloaded the free kindle App and tried moving the book from my downloads to my kindle but it still won't open. It says can't open file. Is the book available in PDF?

I emailed my copy to my kindle and it downloaded. However, once I opened the file I cant get past the cover and copyright information to actually read the book it just goes to a white screen and I have to restart the app. I've downloaded a lot of mobi files before and they've all worked fine. Yes, I've tried the options mentioned. I have the kindle mobile app, on my samsung j3.

I downloaded the book but it doesn't open , shows a message saying cannot be opened. I am not sure if it is a problem with my laptop or with the file. I need to probably reformat if there is a virus and down load adobe pdf again and try.
Thanks
Naina
That's why it is taking time

You have to state your problem in a complete details. Specify the errors and what else you tried to make it work. You could get help if you will tell in a specific, detailed way.

For example in my side, Kindle is not available here in Saudi Arabia. This means I really couldn't open it. I can read and download through eReader Prestigio which I downloaded for free on Google Play Store and I choose epub format if ever I want to download. If books are available in epub format, then I can download without any other problem.

Again, try to give enough details to your problem.

I have not seen on your profile that you have reviewed a book. Maybe you meant to say that you participated today's daily reward raffles and re-tweets.

Hi. I have downloaded a book for review which I can't open on Kindle but can open on e reader. The problem is it only has the front page and nothing else. I have tried to delete the book and download it again but with the same result. Please advise

Kindle is also unavailable here in Saudi Arabia. I downloaded free ereader Prestigio app on Google Play Store.

I cannot download files that are available on Kindle only. There are lots of books that are gadgets-friendly - which means, books that are available in various file types - ePub, Mobi, pdf, mp3, mp4 and more...

It's working good on my smartphone. As a matter of fact, I'll be sending my third volunteer review tonight.

I hope this helps. ♡

I have attempted to download the book Sigfried's smelly socks! by Len Foley onto my computer and my phone but no matter what I do the book opens with the images too big for the screen, or only half of the page loads. I have attempted all three proposed solutions and none of them have worked.
