Hello, I had a similar problem. However, the book would never be able to be transferred to my Kindle app. As a result I could never open the file. It always gave me a message saying the app could not open the material.

Hello I've tried several times to figure this out following your steps but am having no luck with a solution. I'm trying to get Becoming The Dragon. I have tried looking through file mangers, but I can not find any file. When I go to the download page, it just says 'The eBook has already been accepted'. Help!

I tried to download the book but it wasn't free and even though I would like to read it, I wasn't going to pay for it because I've got 29 cents in my account! I also got a new Kindle Fire yesterday, and I'm trying to locate all of my books!

It's not so much that the book won't open. I am using my Kindle Paper White. I have also tried using my Kindle App on my iPhone. I got a code to buy The Expansion. All I am able to do on Amazon is download a sample. No option to buy. So when I don't follow the link provided and just go straight to Amazon I try to put the code in. The code is invalid. I have tried everything, but all I am able to do is pay for the book or download a sample only. I have tried many different avenues on ways to get to amazon through the link and then providing the code (again invalid) or downloading the sample and then trying to purchase through there. Nothing works.

The Kindle app doesn't read PDF or EPUB. You should download the book to your PC, convert it to mobi by using the free Calibre App, and then move it to your device.

Download it again via the Update tab, or ask for another copy if you don't have the option.

I can only open this on my iPhone kindle app and I cannot read this on my phone. How do I read it on my kindle reader? If I can’t then I am unable to participate in reading these book. I also don’t know how to get taken off list or contact anyone.

Option 1 - You can use a file manager on your device. Your device may already have one pre-installed even if you have never used it. You can also download a free one from the appropriate app store.

Basically, I have no clue what I am doing, but I am trying
