Kindle app on android tablet freezes every time I try to download a book from my library. Already tried clearing cache and Uninstaller reinstall.

By Mrs Pauline Parkin   1 year ago


Hello! My name is Pauline Parkin 412-841-5171 I love your BookBub and enjoy all your books. I listen to them on my Alexa's at home. Now I have a problem and hope that you can help me!!! When I order the book that I would like to listen to from your list I used to be able to go to my list of books and click on the one that I want to read. Plus click on the room that I want to listen to it. I have an Alexa in each room. Now my list of books do not come up and I can not see them!! I am sorry if this is confusing. I do hope you can help because I have had no luck trying to rectify the problem. Thank you Pauline

My kindle in not responding when I try to open a book. What do I d do?

By Erin   1 year ago


It keeps glitching every time I tap on the screen to minimize it to check a phone call or text. It skips backward to a previous point, and then I have to find where I was. I clicked the little dot to go back and it reverts back. It's driving me nuts.

Doesn't keep my place in the book I'm reading

By Katherine Miller   1 year ago


When I try to bookmark a page it rolls back several pages. Very annoying! This started after the May update.

By Keith   1 year ago


My kindle app on my Android tablet is not opening or staying on my last page read. It always goes back a few chapters. This is since the changes to stop in app purchases. The app has become almost unusable and this issue has been going on for too long with no fix in sight.

By Becca   1 year ago


Kindle app isn't saving my place when going back to the app. Incredibly frustrating as have to find the correct page each time. Can we get an update to fix this??

By Tammy F Reid   1 year ago


Kindle app for Android no longer saves my location when I minimize app or do anything and I have to manually go to the page I was on.

By Kathy Darneille   1 year ago


My kindle app on my phone is not opening or staying on my last page read. It always goes back a few chapters.

By David Carroll   1 year ago


Same issue as other people. Kindle app reverts back to a previous page any time I minimise the app and then I have to manually go back to my original page. When jumping bookmarks it keeps going back to an earlier one rather than the one I selected so even if bookmark my current page i can't go back to it easily.

By Jessica Kain   1 year ago


Same as others, doesn't open to last page read after minimizing the app. Sometimes it won't let me move forward and sometimes even as I'm reading it will jump back several pages. Very frustrating. Bookmarking my page before minimizing helped for awhile but now I have to completely close the app and reopen it to get to my current spot or do it manually. Very frustrating

By Christine Marsden   1 year ago


Yes, I've had the same problem for the last few weeks or so. The app doesn't remember the latest page read, it goes back a number of pages and it's a devil finding the correct place. Please correct this problem, or at least tell us how to solve it. It's very frustrating and spoils my enjoyment of using the app. Thank you.

By Luke Sabic   1 year ago


Same as other people are reporting, doesn't remember correct location when opening or after minimising the app, makes finding your place in the book very annoying

By Louise   1 year ago


Same issue as everyone else, Kindle app reverts me to a previous page any time I minimise the app and then I have to manually go back to my original page. Seriously frustrating!

App does not remember last page read. Jumps back a random amount of pages.

Kindle loses page and goes back to earlier page. Have to manually find last page but then it just skips back to earlier page.

By Colette   1 year ago


Kindle will not open at last page read. Continually going back to random page. Difficulty in manually making it go forward

By Laura Fadgen   1 year ago


Same as many other complaints listed. Pages skip back to old book marks. You have to search from last page read and find it yourself. Wont recognize when you click on a chapter, just goes back again. Tried uninstalling numerous times. Very frustrating.

By David   1 year ago


Same as many others, no matter what book I'm reading since late June Kindle jumps back to pages it seems to randomly bookmark, cannot even select manually bookmarked locations or previous viewed on location bar.

By Henry Sohm   1 year ago


Kindle app on Android starts and restarts in apparent random locations. Makes it very difficult to use - always have to remember and manually locate my last location.

By Robert S Marsolek   1 year ago


Wont hold place in book when minimized just like all other recent posted issues. You gonna fix this? or do I need to back to nook?

By PJ   1 year ago


Same as many above. If I click the center while reading to check notifications, or minimize and come back. Kindle has lost my place and the "jump back to" bookmark area doesn't work. Many pages or first pages of chapters also appear as blank when scrolling. Fix this!!! Losing your bookmark or not being able to jump back and forth between a map/reference page and your current placeholder is infuriating!

By Dolores McGuire   1 year ago


Will not open at last page closed. Impossible to use it. I tried everything so just giving up

By Kevin Wolniewicz   1 year ago


Kindle app loses my place if I minimize or leave the app. When I return I have to scroll thru the pages to find my bookmark. The goto icon does not bring me to the page shown.

By Sinead Simpson   1 year ago


Won't hold last page read

By Kelly Uhler   1 year ago


Won't stay on current page and can't use the go to or sync furthest page. Every time I stop reading it jumps to another page and I have to scroll endlessly trying to find where I was at. Bookmarking doesn't take me there. Neither does go to or sync furthest page. So frustrating!

By Richard   1 year ago


Jumps back dozens of pages, so I have to keep scrolling through looking for where I'd got to.

By Amy McCoy   1 year ago


When reading, if you tap the center of the screen to see notifications, Kindle looses it's place and can't/won't return to the proper place. Using the "back to" box refers to the proper location but tapping it does nothing. Even when you know which chapter you were on, it won't go to the proper location. I have uninstalled the app and reinstalled. Did not help. Very frustrating.

By Chris   1 year ago


My kindle app on my phone is not opening or staying on my last page red. It always goes back a few pages.

By Rod Bartlett   1 year ago


The app has become essentially useless. Everytime I open it I get a random page. I cant open the same page twice, and every page is bookmarked if I use that feature.

By Rod Bartlett   1 year ago


The pages are shuffled every time I open the app, and when I use the bookmark, every page is bookmarked. It is virtually impossible to open the same page twice.

By Kate   1 year ago


My kindle app got crash as well, open and just completely loss. Hope they will solve the problem soon.

My Kindle app stopped working yesterday morning. It opens and then immediately closes. I’ve re-started my iPad but no joy. It’s ok on my iPhone and my Kindle and I can read my books by going to Amazon on Safari and using the cloud reader but I’m not happy.

Kindle app on iPad stopped working. Tried switching iPad off and back on, closing all apps etc. Not opening at all

By Greg   1 year ago


When reading, if you tap the centre of the screen to see notifications, Kindle looses it's place and can't/won't return to the proper place. Using the "back to" box refers to the proper location but tapping it does nothing. Even when you know which chapter you were on, it won't go to the proper location. Between this and delivery issues with items purchased, I'm seriously considering leaving Amazon for good, including my Prime account.

My Kindle will not stay open. I have rebooted my IPad often and nothing changes. This just happened today. I am devastated that I can’t get into my library.

Constant buffer wheel after trying to buy book on amazon

By Jordan   1 year ago


I have a kindle unlimited membership however when I try to get another book nothing happened. I can receive a sample but not the entire book. It has only been happening today but I have tried about every hour or so, deleted the app, checked my wifi and a few other things but nothing has helped.

By Althea Dickson   1 year ago


I'm about to cancel my subscription because it won't let me download or read new books in the app I can buy ones that aren't supported or read samples for the subscription but nothing else. It was perfectly okay yesterday not today at all I've cleared data and cache uninstalled and installed over and over all day. It's frustrating how it's been like this since I woke up. I just want to enjoy a good read after work.
