After rooting my KF (6.3.1) with KFU, I am not able to go to Amazon and "deliver" a document from my library to my device. It just goes to the "pending deliveries" list but never gets to my KF.
When I look at my documents in the cloud, I can see them and I can long-click and "download" the documents. I just cannot get them to automatically sync and be delivered to my KF.
I did install the Kindle reader from the Google App store. Interestingly, the original reader, from the default launcher can see everything in the cloud too, but cannot download anything to the device. I think I read that the default reader is looking for the document files in one location, but the Kindle Reader from Google actually loads/saves the files in a different location.
I wonder if it is possible to map the location for the Kindle Reader file location to the other place or vice versa.
I have not tried to see what happens if I send a document as an email attachment directly. I'll do that and see if the behavior is different.
Does anyone know if the Kindle Reader from Google can be uninstalled, reverting the functionality back to the default reader, or would I need to restore to factory defaults, re-root, and then not install the Kindle Reader from Google Apps?
Thanks!
Well, chalk it up to being impatient. Previously, it seemed like transferring documents went much quicker. Today, it just took some time for it to process. Everything appears to be working fine.

I have rooted my kindle fire and update to 6.2 version. Then I uninstall some apps for amazon(I didn't uninstall the amazon kindle app). However , today ,I find that i can't read the book in amazon kindle.
Can anyone help me?
Just a guess since you really don't say, but if you are not using the Kindle Launcher (ie using something else like Go Launcher ... )... If so, this is a known issue. click on the Kindle Launcher, go to books and your books should show and load properly.

I have tried to enter the launcher which installed by amazon. However, there is no response when i open a book in the shelf of the BOOks or Docs.
I really want to know how to resolve this problem.
I don't have that problem. all my books load just fine when using Books from within the Kindle Fire Launcher.

Thought you don't know how to do it . Thanks all the same
Yesterday evening, I took another kindle fire from my friend and checked the application one by one.
If you want to use the amazon kindle to read books, do not uninstall the app "Amazon kindle fire ","Device plat form".
I deleted "Device plat form" to cause that problem.
Now everything is ok!
I don't understand. If you deleted the app, how did you fix the problem?
I think I screwed up by Clearing Data for that app.
Now the Launcher seems to relaunch itself every few seconds, making it nearly impossible to launch an app, book, etc.
This should work but will not work the same as the amzone reader you got now it will look different but is the same in the long run.
Go to google market and search amazon Then install the Amazon Kindle app. You can open this app from any launcher

For those interested, I was able to fix my problem by setting "Launcher" to the default, re-rooting, then unrooting.
I'm not sure what caused the Launcher glitchiness: installing other launchers, clearing data, or something the first time I rooted. Regardless, it works now!

I copy the app from my friend's kindle fire and install it in the system again. then ,reboot , It's OK!
I had the same problem after rooting, removing the amazon stuff and installing google market. Interestingly, after loading google market, I went to 'my apps' and there was an update available for kindle. I installed the update and now it launches without needing the amazon launcher.
Reinstall update 6.2 manually, I had this issue as well. (next time dont uninstall, freeze and see how things run.) hope this helps.

Just thought I'd chime in since I found this helpful, and in the process found a fix for another issue.
I just recently rooted my Kindle Fire and was having some issues viewing the Android Market on it, and went to this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=24312196&postcount=17 to resolve that issue.
However, after turning on my device the today, I was unable to open PDF's from the "Device" section of the DOCS tab. I would click a PDF, it would appear to open, then the screen would turn gray with the word "kindle" in the middle, and nothing would happen. I backed all the way out, powered off the device, powered it back on, went all the way back to opening the PDF but this time "Amazon Kindle" wanted me to register. I input my email address and password and clicked the "register" button, and some tabs appeared at the top of the screen, and that's it. I backed out all the way again, rebooted my Kindle, and when I went back to the DOCS tab, all of my documents were gone!
I frantically opened ES File Explorer and navigated to the "Documents" folder, and all of my PDF's were still there. I was rather confused. I did a couple more reboots and this same issue persisted.
So I was having two issues.
1. "Amazon Kindle" was not opening PDF's.
2. The "DOCS" tab was not displaying anything.
How did I fix it? After deleting the cache from the "Kindle Fire" app via Settings --> Applications --> All Applications, I opened the Play Marketplace (or whatever it's called now), selected the Amazon Kindle app, and selected "Uninstall" which prompted me if I wanted to uninstall all of the updates. I selected yes, and also deselected the "allow automatic updating" option, then backed all the way out.
Everything works perfect now.
Hi everyone,
I've got 2 different Amazon accounts. I've purchased a lot of books with my
Kindle One a year ago and I've recently bought a new Kindle Fire.
In order to access the Books on my old account, I have to register and deregister the device and download the books from cloud to the device every time.
I am just curious if there is a way to keep my Books and Documents after deregistering form my old Amazon account.
My Kindle fire is rooted and I've just found out that Kindle stores all books in my ''books'' folder after downloading them from cloud but If after that you deregister the device it simply deletes all of them. Now after making a backup of all files and putting them back in books folder Kindle doesn't recognize or show them after all.
Any Ideas?
Thank you in Advance
cheers

I don't know if Amazon changed their Kindle app or what, but I do know that after downloading my books from the cloud within my Kindle app, they didn't show up in either my "Books" or "kindle" folder. Typical Amazon BS.
What you can do however, is sign in to your old amazon.com account, go to "Manage Your Kindle" to view your library. For each book or document you want, under "Actions", select "Download & transfer via USB"
You can then transfer the .amz files you downloaded onto your computer to the device's "kindle" or "Books" folder depending on which one it uses. On mine it's "kindle" but yours could be different...I've never used the stock Kindle reader so I'm not sure.
It's tedious but worth it if you want all of your documents in one place.

Hi,
Thanks but I've just tried that. It is so weird there are absolutely no
purchased stuff listed when I access my account via PC there are only listed on my Kindle Fire so no way to download them...???
If I could figure out what one can do with those prc Files that would be great.
Are those maybe encrypted?? I think amazon encrypts the files so they can't be shared around easily ...

I want to start by thanking Hashcode for Jelly Beaning the kindle fire!
I recently Jelly Beaned my kindle and I'm having an issue with my Google Book and Kindle apps. I'm unable to search files locally for the books that I have saved on my Kindle Fire. I don't know if this has anything to do with the mass storage issue,but I was hoping someone came across a solution for this.
Thanks

When I switched from stock Kindle Fire to Hashcode's Jelly Bean 4.2.2r1 (just last thursday) I had to redownload all local books. Have you tried simply downloading one while wireless is on in the Amazon Kindle app? You should be able to find your books in the Archive section.
I tried and for some reason I can not upload my books I have stored on my Kindle. Usually the options show (Home, On Device, Archive, Store). Now there are no options at all,only the home button. And I cannot not find a way to upload my books from my device.

Okay, it almost sounds like your kindle app is starting up without being authenticated into your account. I'd start by clearing the apps data and then uninstalling and reinstalling the app.
settings->apps->Amazon Kindle
choose clear data, then when that completes tap uninstall. Once that has completed go to the google play store and bring down the app again. Properly log in and see if you get different behavior. If that does not work, I'd go to the Amazon Kindle web page for your account and manage your devices, see if you have an entry for Account Name's Android Tablet or not (where account name is replaced by your account name).

Thank you for trying to help. I did that and for somereason the toolbar is not at the top of the app as it usually is. I downloaded kindle on all my other androids and the toolbar selection "on the device" is labeled on top and allows me to migrate my books into the reader. I can't figure out why it won't even show the toolbar on my kindle now.
Thanks again for the help

I apologize for the delay, I was on vacation and had horrible internet where I was. Wow, I've never had the toolbar disappear on an app like that. Hopefully someone else has seen this sort of behavior and can give you some insight.
Have you installed any display type mods, something like a tablet mode change on top of hashcode's AOSP or some sort of theme?
Hopefully! Thanks for trying

Time and again, everyone wants to know, how to transfer files between their cloud back-up services without having to download them and upload again manually, instead they just have to tap one and then the second to just transfer all the stuff. If you’re on a Computer, doing such thing is a very easy job and much of the times you have to do it from PC, but under some circumstances you may have to transfer data from Cloud services using your Android device and the task isn’t that easy as it seems, however, not difficult either.
Rainbow is an app that allows users of Android to directly transfer files between Cloud Storage services. However, this app is still in its developmental process, so there are chances of bugs which isn’t a big issue and if you don’t find your Cloud Service on it, go to XDA Forums and vote your Cloud Service in the poll. Now, let’s see how we can install and use this app.
Rainbow-Home
How to Install and Use Rainbow:
Download and Install Rainbow from Google Play Store.
Once you have installed it, open it.
Make sure that you have a working Wi-fi connection.
You will see a list of Cloud Services that are available, tap on the one you want.
You’ll be promoted to the Log-in screen, Log-in using your account.
Accept the administrative permissions to successfully connect to the service.
After you have configured all the accounts you wish to manage using this app, tap the Data Transfer tab
You’ll see the list of accounts that you have configured, including the Android device.
Tap on the one from where you want to transfer the data, you won’t be able to see any thumbnails.
Once you tap a file, a pop-up containing two options, Delete and Copy, will emerge.
Tap copy to copy the item to clipboard or delete it if you want.
Now all that is left is to open the other Service and paste the copied data there.
It will take a little time, so please be patient.
Data-Transfer
So I have my saved to phone file (music) and I have them attached to a play list. Then I set in the wear app to allow store on watch, pulled up the list and clicked the playlist I wanted to send to watch. Then on the watch I hit play Music and on wear, and the list shows, I then pick what I want and see a orange check on the bottom of the watch screen. What ever I do with that check, swipe or click it just goes back to the watch face?
Has anyone got the Music to transfer to the watch?
Yes, it works for me. Try to follow these instructions:
http://www.wareable.com/android-wear/how-to-get-music-on-your-android-wear-smartwatch
It takes a while to transfer the songs from the phone to the watch. In Google Play Music, you can go to Settings > Manage Wear Downloads and check the progress in the orange circle. When the transfer is complete, you should get a notification on your watch.

Thanks for the info, I actually found that same page & tried several times. I even get the watch to show the list and pick albums, playlists, songs, and then try that orange check and nothing.
Cleared cashe on music app, reset connections, and rebooted both devices. It all reads just like the web page except for the actual file transfer. I get error phone disconnected on the watch, yet when I go to wear app it is connected. Or I just see the watch go back to the watch face, no notification what so ever. Sigh.
looks like many are having issues, depending on the version of google play music. It also seems it has been broke, fixed, broke again. These things do happen when working on updates and such, I'll keep checking for an update. https://productforums.google.com/fo.../DGr1WPiy9Po;context-place=forum/android-wear
We found the issue, and I have music transferring now!
It is related to sd card, two ways to get past googles sd card failure.
1. put a .nomedia file on your sd card root folder, this will work if you have a third party music app that will allow you to choose an sd card folder so it still reads files.
2. put music files you want on internal memory and remove sd card until music is transferred. keep that music on internal when replacing sd card.
I believe this is an issue with googles sd card security, and you probably won't see this if you have marshmallow and have formatted the sd card the new way making it your secure memory. If you choose to keep your sd card as removable and usable elsewhere you will need to try some type of work around. It frustrates me but the way they are doing it is more secure in the long run. I just never put files that need securing on my sd card in the first place, just music, games, videos.
I'm glad it worked!
My phone is running Android Marshmallow and the songs are stored in the internal memory (not the SD card). Maybe this is the reason why I didn't have problems in first place.

Thanks! I'm super Happy with the results. I used the .nomedia on sd card. I have 1.4 GB now on the watch and I'm able to do my walking with bluetooth sound, without carrying the phone.
