Kindle for PC Problem

Silver-Midnight · Apr 22, 2012

I keep having the same problem with my Kindle for PC. Sometimes when I try to open a book it will give the following message: [Kindle] is unable to open this book. Please delete from Kindle and re-download.

Why is it doing that? It's done this with a lot of books, including ones that I've actually gotten from Amazon. Thankfully, all of them have been free reads, but still.

Thanks.

This discussion on Amazon might help.

Found something else, and looks like it's working.

Alright, now it refuses to download or even recognize new stuff I got. They aren't even showing up in my Archive.

Are you downloading to the right format? I'm not trying to be offensive, just asking. This is a little like asking someone if the TV is plugged in if it's not working.

I'm downloading directly from Amazon, and it says it is(or should be anyway) on my Kindle for PC. I just click the "1-Click-Buy" button on the side. Maybe I am doing something wrong?

Where do you change the format for your book at?

Log in and go to Your Account, then to View Your Digital Orders, then to Manage Your Digital Orders. You should see your digital titles, and a pull-down to the right that allows certain actions. For example, you select Delver To My . . . for an item, it will then show that item and give you some additional options such as Deliver to my Kindle, or Deliver to my Kindle PC, or Deliver to my Kindle for PC II.

Now, I saw that. I did click "Download to my Kindle PC". However, it still didn't show up after that. Hmmm.... Could I do be doing something else wrong?

Do you have any problem just bringing up the Kindle program on your computer? That is, everything seems to be working on the books you've previously downloaded?

I can open the program, and my previous downloads now work fine. However, anything new so far hasn't come in. I can try opening it again, and see if it will update/sync or whatever.

Open the program, Silver, select Tools, click on sync/check for new items (something like that). I had the same problem a while back and that seemed to take care of it.

That seemed to take care of it. I tired that before, but I don't think it worked. However, it worked this time.
