These fixes are meant for all versions of the Kindle Fire, including the Kindle Fire HDX, the Kindle Fire HD, and the Fire tablet.

E-Books Disappearing or Not Working

There are two reported forms of non-working e-books:

  • E-books not working after a reboot
  • E-books not working in offline mode

Either way, e-books that refuse to load is an extremely frustrating issue to face, especially when trying to relax with a good book. Issues with disappearing or non-working e-books can sometimes be caused by the Google Play Store:

  3. Select Uninstall.
  4. Tap menu in the top left (vertical lines).
  5. Select Settings.
