Unable To _TOP_ Download Kindle Book On Ipad
Brandon Pitre
We understand that after updating the iOS, you're now unable to access books from your Kindle app. Since updating the iOS software, did you also install available app updates? If not, check to see if there are any available now, and specifically for the Kindle app: How to manually update apps on your Apple device
Does this still (07-2013) work for iPad/folks? I am brought to the amazon kindle site and everything goes fine until the final submit purchase screen. However, on my IPad, what should be a clickable submit purchase button is not clickable/ not functional! I can't seem to purchase kindle books at all with my iPad ( iPad I ). The same link works fine from a PC.
This is a problem I've been wrestling with for months and I finally deigned to spend the requisite time in a live chat session with Amazon trying to fix, and I believe (two hours later) that I have at least a temprorary solution until they get it together. It's true, one can no longer purchase Kindle books directly through the Kindle app on an iPad. They've simply eliminated the store within the app. AND, you cannot purchase a kindle book on your ipad through either the Amazon app itself, or even the regular Amazon Safari site. You must go to www.amazon.com/ipadkindlestore and that is the ONLY place that iPad users can now purchase their Kindle books. - And they do not tell you this anywhere within the Amazon site, it's incredibly frustrating.
So. You can buy your content through your browser on amazons site. And then access it through the kindle app. But you can't buy content from the app itself. That inconvenience is to encourage you to buy your content from Apple. It's certainly not because amazon wants it that way...
My son has an iPad mini and my daughter has a kindle. They have never had a problem connecting and playing together across a lan connection until recently. If she tries to connect with him it gives an outdated client message. If he tries to connect with her it says locating server and never connects. I have checked and it shows both have same version of minecraft pe. I have checked devices and they are updated. Nothing has changed with our internet connection. I even made them both a Microsoft account and logged them both in that way and same results. Please help-they are heartbroken! I have tried contacting other support sites and have gotten nowhere.
So it seems, for whatever reason (my guess it outdated software), older kindles like my 4th generation one are not compatible with Amazon Japan accounts. Oh well, I can still use it for English literature.
I have a new laptop with windows 8. I am unable to use the kindle app - wont let me log into my amazon account to download my books. Says not ready to use offline. Also unable to access the windows store to reinstall the kindle app. Any suggestions.
Sorry to jump on this thread but, is brail playing well with page turns in kindle now? I'm going back to unit in a couple of months and need to find ways of reading course books, I'm doing an MA in creative writing. I am hoping to get a mantis, but we'll have to see.
I feel the same. really miss the kindle app. I reported this issue to Amazon yesterday but I'm far from convinced they understood what I was talking about. really hoping a new update gets pushed out soon that resolves this. in the meantime how accessible are apple books?
I have spent the last little while talking/tweeting with amazon.
On twitter, amazon refered me to a hellp guide on using kindle with a braille display. I told them that I do not use one, and that this is with Voiceover. I have been refered to their chat service. In the last 10 minutes I have
Checked the appstore for updates to the kindle app and found that my app was last updated on 24/08/2023. Gone to settings and checked that my phone software is up to date. Been asked to turn it off and on again. Thanks, IT crowd.
Taken some initiative to experiment on my own, by removing the kindle app off my phone, restart the device and reinstall kindle. Been advised to do what I had just done by the amazon agent. Died of laughter as the agent called it a "scream" reader. Torn my hair out in frustration, as all this time arguing and pushing for the issue to be fixed is not time spent reading :( Finally, finally. Been told to wait 24-48 hours, before opening/logging into the kindle app again, as it should be "fixed." Should, probably mean won't, so we'll just have to persevere until it is fixed. Now, I shall go listen to an audio book, and hope the problem is fixed soon.
Hang in there, my reading friends!
First of all, I actually started using the Alexa app. It's not ideal, but it works. I had to speed her up quite a bit, lol. But she does read well. Also, the font and landscape did not work for me on the kindle app.
Thanks for this I loved your work. Recently I want to delete the application of the Kindle app from my iPhone that's I want to know how to remove books from kindle so any suggestion for me please assist me. I already visit a website:- www.ipadsupportnumber.com/blog/how-to-delete-books-from-kindle-on-ipad-and-iphone/
Technically with Amazon you can sort of export highlights if you bought the books from them (it's easy to access them in a way that lets you copy), but not your personal documents. If you try to search for how to do this most of the guides are about this method which is useless for personal documents. There is a way to export your personal document highlights from your kindle itself and I'll go over it quickly, but I don't know if it works with newer kindles. The new method I found is as far as I know almost undocumented and will work from any iOS device, possibly even Android.
There is of course the Clippings.txt but this file is ONLY updated if you make a highlight from your kindle, which makes it useless if you read anywhere else as well. It's also a mess going through it.
UPDATE: The following (for the ipad/iphone and the last step/suggestions) is outdated. The Kindle App (version 4.17 + on iOS, 4.22 + for Android) FINALLY has an export option. Just go into the notes for the book and in the top right there's a share icon (little box with an arrow) which lets you email yourself all your notes and highlights (and does not limit them or anything if they're personal docs).
This will get all your highlights, show three columns (Book, Annotation Type, and the Annotation) and sort them by book, then within that by the location of the highlight. Note that ZRAWSTART (you can add that as a column if you want to see it) is not the Location number in your kindle. That info doesn't seem to be available or is somehow extrapolated from this by the app).
I'm not sure if this option is available for your kindle, I think newer ones should have it, but I can't be sure. There's several models of paperwhites and I've yet to get one.
But if you have an android or ios device (or even an emulator like memu), get the kindle app, download your documents, then in the notes summary section of each book there's now an export option!
That should also be on the newer kindles, but like I said can't be sure.
If your books are not synced (that is you didn't send them through email to amazon you just moved them to your device then highlighted them) or you don't have that option or any ios or android device then Step 1 should work.
If you're still having trouble tell me where you're getting stuck, how you initially got the files on the device (email or usb) and also what devices you have available and I'll try to help.
Well if you have a kindle, the highlights will sync to the .mbp and you can extract them from there but I heard that it doesn't work with newer kindles (I'm not 100% sure because I don't have one). And there's always OCR from screenshots as an option regardless of how many restrictions they try to put on this.
But yeah it's ridiculous. The only reasonable justification for it is to guard against copyright infringement, but that makes no sense given that DRM is a piece of cake to take off without even having to open or copy anything from the book. What makes even less sense is that it's YOUR personal documents you can't extract the notes from and yet it's fairly easy to extract them from official kindle books. The only reason for this that makes some sense is that Amazon wants you to buy the books from them and I don't mind doing that but some of the stuff I read and highlight just isn't available or is badly formatted. Sometimes I like to send myself my own works so I can edit it them the go, but I end up turning the book draft into a PDF for Goodreader because it's just easier to extract the highlights/notes even though it might be harder to actually make them.
And this isn't a problem with just the Kindle app. PDFs too have no way to extract highlights unless through some third party apps/sites like Goodreader. Don't even get me started on trying to highlight in browser and then copying those (planning a tut on that in the future) to a simple Word doc (spoilers: ridiculously hard). I don't even need to highlight for school or anything very important. How do students and people who really do cope?
What happened yesterday was different. I tried to move mobi ebooks to my kindle. The books were transferred fine, I can see them on my kindle drive on the computer. The problem was when I opened my Kindle to arrange the books I transferred, they weren't there. I tried reconnecting my kindle to the computer and the books are still there. I don't know what's wrong.
File size can be an issue. I've found that if the book's file size is greater than 50MB, the file will transfer to the documents folder on disk, but not appear on the kindle. In my case, I used Calibre to convert mobi to azw3, which reduced the file size, and the book then appeared on my kindle.
