I could see them before they were in .mobi format
Click on an app called "Kindle" and your books should be there (after signing in with your Amazon account.
Additionally, if you sign into Amazon.com after you've done the above, you should see that you have now registered an android device for reading, which is also your kindle.
If you delete the app from your kindle your books should return to their "normal" place on your bookshelf.
I also deleted my android device from my kindle account.
Just curious if anyone knows if this is because I have rooted my kindle?

I get that. This happened to me yesterday. I turned on my Kindle and had a message that there was something called Kindle that had been installed. I thought it was another update, but when I went to device, the update was still 6.3.1, which I had already because I had to rerun KFU to root. My personal documents that I had put on the Kindle, a book I purchased from Amazon AND the items included with the Kindle (dictionary) were no longer on my shelf.
They were in my Kindle though, but I didn't know how to get them back on my shelf. I then noticed a new app called "Kindle" which I clicked to open and discovered it was similar to the app you download to read kindle books on your computer. After entering my email address and password for Amazon, the app opened and all of my books were listed there. When I went to Amazon.com, afterward, I noticed there was a new device registered to me called Kindle Android. Now I have two devices registered to me on Amazon. The Kindle Fire and the Kindle Android. I am assuming because I had rooted my device, the Kindle was being recognized somehow by Amazon to be an Android device.
I deregistered my Android Device (NOT the Kindle Fire.) and went back to the Fire and deleted the new Kindle app. After a message telling me I could delete the app and go back to the old way of reading on my Kindle, I said uninstall app and now my books are back on my shelf in their original place, although my reading percentage on them has been set back to 0%.
I am guessing that somehow Amazon has figured out a way to 'know' that I have rooted my device.
I am sorry if this is not the answer to your question. If it doesn't help you, perhaps you can give a few more details of your situation so that someone more knowledgeable can assist you.
Do you have the Google Play Store installed? If so make sure you didn't install the kindle app from there.
If you did, you can remove it by going to My Apps in the play store selecting the Kindle app and choosing to uninstall updates.
The books you have downloaded should be under /sdcard/Android/data/com.amazon.kindle/files. Stock devices may use a different folder but it should still be com.amazon.whatever.
There will be two different file extensions for each filename, .mbp & .prc. I'm not sure what the .mbp is, but its not important. What is important are the .prc files. They will be named something like "B003XDUCIG_EBOK.prc"
Take all of the files and place them in a new folder, then one at a time place them in your "kindle" (Kindle app) or "Books" (stock reader) folder. Open the reader to see which books show up and go back and rename them accordingly.
If you leave your books in the com.amazon.kindle folder, they will be deleted every time you switch accounts or uninstall the Kindle app.
Yay, Amazon!
you guys are awesome it was the kindle thing through go play thank you my wife also thanks you guys.
Okay so i finally got my kindle rooted and flashed to AleinDroid and I love it!!!
Then, when i went to find my book to do my homework (the whole reason i got my fire in the first place) I have no freaking idea where my books I had downloaded for school went!!!
Can someone help me out? Do i have to re download them from Amazon?
Have you downloaded the kindle app? If not, download it, register with the same email that you first registered your kindle with, then check your archived books. You can download all the books you downloaded from Amazon from your kindle app archive.

Missing Books.
If you purchased your books from Amazon, and you still have the Kindle app. you will have to log into amazon again to reregister. Once you have done that your books will appear. You may have to go to Library in Kindle and press the download arrow in the lower right of each book to download them again. If you purchased books elsewhere and read them on Kindle, then look in your directory for books or Kindle or even download, they are probably there

Hi all,
looking at doing some tv sticks pre loaded with kodi for a few friends and family. I've noticed that each one has to have an amazon account registered to it before you can start using it. I was wondering is there any way to bypass this or is it best to make a bogus account and use that?
Any help would be greatly appreciated
Regards
As far as I know, you can't bypass it. Fire TV needs an Amazon account. You can create a new account if you don't want to use an existing account.
What i do is register it under my own account and add everything then go to
settings/my account/amazon account/deregester
Then the person just has to register an amazon account and everything will still be on the stick
@hawkwind666 - I tried that and it didn't seem to work. I am setting up a few sticks for family members as gifts. I only know one of their Amazon accounts and wanted to others to be a surprise. For the one I knew I set it up using my ID and the. Deregistered and signed in as him. When I did Ikono TV was gone and therefore the KODI shortcut.

Icon will disappear as soon as you deregister unit because Ikono app was purchased under your account. The only way to fix this is to purchase Ikono for each account and then set it up, no way around this.
Use Firestarter to launch Kodi if you want to use a different account after side-loading. Otherwise sign in with the persons account before using the ikono/llama method, else a dummy account (you'll have to enter an address and set it as the one-click default before free apps can be downloaded on the account - no payment info required.)

On the big AFTV, if ordered from Amazon, comes already tied to your account. When I fired up my new Fire 7 this weekend, the data for my account was automatically retrieved when I started the tab and hooked to wifi.

I don't believe this applies to the Fire TV or Sticks. However, it is a prompted option when ordering any of their tablets, having ordered both a tablet and a Fire TV in the past month.

I'm sorry. I meant to say that my Fire TV was also tied to my account when I got it several months ago. Same with my Fire 7 I just got. The user name and account info were already in both.
I am sure they just tied the serial number to my account when it shipped so when I fired each of them up, they phoned home and did a lookup of the serial and populated my data in each device.

That's odd, my Fire TV (4k) didn't, it prompted me to login or register on first boot. It wasn't bought from Amazon but it was new, maybe thats why. The Fire tablets though, they do give an option while purchasing to automatically link it to your account, I think it may be checked by default.

It will only be linked to your account if you buy it direct from Amazon.

That was my point. They scan the serial when they (Amazon) ship it to the end customer. Of course it won't be linked if you pick one up at Bestbuy. Both my Fire TV and Fire 7 were both bought on that EVIL 'one click' they have so I can't comment on a check box as mentioned a few posts up.
The problem is that you need to enable ADB debugging to sideload apps, and you need to enter the settings to enable ADB debugging, and you need to enter Fire TV Home to get to the settings. So, unfortunately, you need to log in with a (bogus) account at least once to get to the Fire TV home screen.
After that, though, it's an entirely different matter. Once you sideloaded Firestarter you can set it up to autostart and get to your apps without logging in at all. After a few seconds on the "log in or create account" prompt, Firestarter will kick in with its own launcher from where you can directly launch Kodi or any other app that isn't directly tied to your Amazon account.

That'll be why :laugh: I nearly missed the prompt myself, I don't trust myself with one-click.

In order to not have the fire tv or stick tied to your account when ordering direct from Amazon,... at checkout, select that its a "gift". You'll still be able to order it and have it shipped to you but it won't be tied to anyones account.
I am unable to log in using my Amazon logins? Says it can not be registered. I bought it already loaded with a Kodi type app. Any suggestions?
Got the same problem with my stick i bought it from eBay but when i got it plugged in and connected to my Wi-Fi but when comes to the update it say unable to now i download the fire tv app and when i launch it the settings button states sleep , fire tv settings and app remote settings, when i click on the sleep button and then wake it up it takes me to the registration prompt but it won't let me login using my amazon account or to create please is there anyone who got past this stage.

yeah , these are faulty sticks and need to be returned , i tried everything even using the ethernet , my situation was a little different, when i got to registration screen the stick refused to update , and would display the update error . i even tried numerous factory reset . Nothing worked , send it back for a replacement
So after having mine for a while now and showing it off I have had a few friends ask me if they purchased one could I set it up like mine for them.
Also thinking about getting one for each of my brothers for Christmas this year. I will not be doing root just installing fire starter and aide loading Kodi with my preferred addons.
Mainly I just want to back up my Kodi settings and adb the backup to the new devices.
I have this covered no issues.
Unless someone else has a better idea for that we will move on to the real question
During the setup process I have to login to my Amazon account. When I do these to my friends I would prefer that my cc info not be available to them. Is de registering the device sufficient enough in removing this?

Yes it should be, I also did the following when making a new account
Ok here's what I did, just make and separate email account and register with Amazon again. and use that account on the Amazon Fire TV, please note, some apps require a credit card or visa to be added to the account to be installed even if they're free apps. to get around that just add a fake credit card or visa to the account it'll work. It did for me.
I bought 3 fire sticks on Black Friday one for my office, one for my sister and one for her son. What I did was to configure the one for my office and used the fire utility app to backup the kodi setup. Then I just used the fire utility app to push kodi and firestarter restore the backup on each of the other sticks. 10 minutes for each stick.
When I was done with each stick in the fire tv system settings menu at the end there is an account selection. Pick account and then choose deregister account. This will remove your amazon information and prompt them for their information when they plug it into their tv. None of your kodi installation is touched using this method. Fire starter works etc.
Hi folks not sure if this has been discussed or where I should put this, long story short I am trying to use the Nickalodeon apk on
my Amazon Fire TV as we canceled it from Comcast, but they have not notified Nick so via my phone or online we can still access it.
However, when I installed the apk on the Fire TV and go through the approval process via my phone, Comcast/Xfinity does not show
up as a provider since I guess, they know we are installing it on an Amazon device. So has anyone discuss this for other apps
where Comcast will not allow you to verify your account and is there any work around?
Thanks
Mike
