Karen, here is what Amazon says "If you're having problems opening a book from your Device tab, try redownloading the book:
From the Device tab in your Books content library, press and hold the title of the book you want to delete.
Tap Remove from Device.
Tap the Cloud tab, then tap the item to start redownloading it again.
If you see an error message when downloading a book from the Cloud tab, try tapping on the title again to restart the download.
If you're still having problems, try restarting your Kindle Fire: press and hold the power button, tap the Shut Down button when it appears on the screen. After the device has completely turned off, press the power button to restart your Kindle Fire." From here Of course you also have to make sure the Kindle is set to Device and not the Cloud. It is possible that the book is on the device, and if it is not, make sure you download it to your Kindle. Give this a try and let us know.

Its a magazind that wont ooen, i dont know how to re-down load it if i removd it
What if the book does not show up on the device list but is on the cloud list? I have been reading this book on my kindle fire and today i could not open it.
If it's on your cloud list, you can switch it at the top to iCloud and you can read it. I had this problem myself!
Worked for me! Thank you so much!
Thank you so much. I'm not sure why but lately I've been having trouble getting my books to open, never had an issue like this until just recently. Now if I could just find out why my font keeps reverting to extra tiny. :(

Hopefully, you have already figured this out, but...I finally went to Manage Your Content on Amazon and re-delivered EVERY book. They now open. Huge pain to do, but at least it worked.

I went to this spot on Amazon and found that I have no books on there. What the heck... I have over 25 books at least that I got from Amazon. It says I have none.??

Thank you!!! This worked

This will sound stupid but try simply logging your device off and than back on from settings tab. This solves such problems the fastest.

Yes, it worked! And so simple but I just didn't think of it. Thank you!
It also worked for me. Thank you!
how do you do that on the kindle paperwhite?
Barbara. Depending on your kindle model it should be under settings registration. If you dont find it just go to "My content and devices" ( on the Amazon website My account) the device tab, deregister it from there and simply log back on the device. It should do the trick.
Just download the books again. Better yet deregister the device and register it back. If that doesn't do the trick just set your device to factory settings. Your books are saved in the cloud so you do not need to worry about those. If you have fire devices you can lose the game progress if you have any, so keep that in mind.
I removed memory card to solve problem

There may have been an issue with downloading the book and in this manner the book won't open. Try erasing the title from the gadget and restart it. On the other hand attempt to download the book and this may solve your issue.
Follow these methods to download the book once more.
1. Go to the home screen by squeezing the Home fasten and go to the gadget tab.
2. At that point expel the title from the Kindle gadget by squeezing and holding the title and choosing expel from Device.
3. Tap on the Menu and go to Settings.
4. At that point tap on the Menu symbol and select Restart to restart your gadget.
5. When the gadget is up once more, go to the Cloud tab and select the title to download the book again. Hopefully, the previously mentioned advances settle the issue.
If the problem is still, persist then there may be some other reasons with the device and if you require expert help to resolve your problem and they will be able to resolve the problem for you without waisting your time.
