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.
Not sure if I read the situation correctly, but I installed Google Play a week or so back. I have Dish Anywhere software installed on FTV, side loaded the app. I had spoofed the FTV to the HTC phone. I should have checked, but all apps that are installed on FTV now show up under "My Apps". But all apps have the automatic update checked. So long story short, it updated my Dish Anywhere app on FTV today. My guess is that the update that was installed was for a phone (for HTC) and it does not work correctly now with weird layout. I had to uninstall and install the older apk manually.
Suggestions: Make sure you disable the auto updates for all apps in Google Play settings in FTV. Also, if you don't want to do that, manually go to each app under "My Apps" and uncheck the auto update on the right side for that app.
Q, because a tablet is a more closer approximation for FTV, does it make more sense to spoof FTV to a tablet rather than a phone? Not sure if I will "loose" anything if I go to a tablet...
I have auto app updates turned off. How do I know if there is an update available for an app?
I am assuming you are talking about turning off updates in google play settings in FTV. The only way to know of updates is to open google play and go to your Apps in the top left menu. It should show all available updates for your installed apps (only those apps that are "compatible", so run the Market Helper before you attempt this). Also, and I could be wrong, it will only show updates for apps that you have installed from the play store, and not side loaded ones (paid or otherwise).
I mean in FTV settings/apps.
I have turned auto updates off so how do I know when an update is available for an app that I installed via FTV?

If you go to Your Apps Library via the default launcher, you can highlight Icons of your apps. Underneath it is 2 boxes, the one on the left should always say "More Info" Click that, and then on the page that shows, if there is an update , it will say it, or it will say Open.
Yes, this is annoying and I only found it by accident. And as far as I can, Amazon doesn't automatically update anything even if you have it on. At least it doesn't on my AFTV.
Found it. Thank you.
I just "bought" some free apps from the Amazon app store using my web browser, and received confirmation emails from Amazon. I clicked "Deliver" to my FireTV device. However, hours later, I still don't see them on my FireTV.
I then tried to manually get them on, by going to Settings => My Account => Sync Amazon Content. Didn't work either.
Any other ideas here?

Try to reboot your FTV and the apps should show up.
I did try that, of course....
Nothing worked except to reboot to recovery, wipe cache and wipe data, then re-install the custom ROM I'd used.
Hi,
I'm having some difficulty suddently with my rooted FireTV. As some background, I live in Canada but have the FireTV using a USA IP via a VPN.
When I use the Amazon UI and go down to the "Featured Apps" section and choose Netflix, I get a login screen for the Amazon App Store, with my name, and a button saying "Continue". But the screen is frozen--I have no way of selecting anything or backing out of anything. After a few seconds, the screen disappears and I'm taken back to the Featured Apps list, with Netflix still highlighted.
However, if I go down to the "Apps" section and simply select Netflix from the list, it works flawlessly and without a problem.
It's almost like something's gotten corrupted somehow. Is there any way to get Netflix to work in the Featured Apps section?
