So I got the fire for my sister for Christmas, rooted to install android market, installed apps, games, launcher, sideloaded mobi books and everything was fine. Most of the books showed in documents but the newer ones showed in the books section of the kindle home. After powering back on tonight I received a forced update which removed all the files from the native reader. Anyone know why? I understand its just an eye appealing thing with the shelves and all, and I have fb reader to read them still but would like to have them in the native app as well. The update didn't break root or the market or anything like that. Any insight would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

I'm seeing the same sort of behavior -- and now items copied via USB (with and without Calibre doing the work) do not show up -- not in Documents, not in Books.
I can launch the files using ES File Explorer, but that's kind of painful just to switch from one book/story to another.
Amazon support has been no help -- they keep saying "press the Sync button" and "are you connected to Wifi?"
what you need to do is go back into the android market, navigate to the Kindle App, and Select "uninstall updates" What happened is the stock kindle app, which nearly everyone agrees is 100 times better, got replaced by the amazon kindle app that other android devices have to use.
If you side-load from calibre, the steps you need to follow to insure they show up in the stock reader app is shown in this video from cnet

I agree that your kindle app got automatically updated I would recommend to se if you can roll back changes. If that is not possible you could download kindle fire update from there website and change it from .bin to .zip and open it and look for the kindle app. If that does not work you can flash the that update by changing it to update.zip and flashing it or putting it in the kindle update. Or you can just simply flash modaco and change the automatic settings on kindle app as you reflash.
Hope this works.

How to hide an update?
I am aware that the kindle app update messes up the books and that uninstalling the update will fix this as i have already done this. Is there a way to hide this update from showing or permanently deleting it from the google play update dir.
What you can do is go to the PLay Store, navigate to the Amazon Kindle app and de-select "automatic updating"
That's not the issue, automatic updating is turned off. When on the play store app if you go to my apps it shows the available updates. I want to hide the kindle app from the update list. Mostly so family and friends stop updating the darn thing then calling me and asking why all the books disappeared.
Tell them not to update it problem solved

I flashed the most recent build of ICS/CM9 on my Kindle Fire.
I then installed the chrome beta app. The app will open fine and I see the interface, but when I try to go to any URL the browser window remains blank. A loading bar appears and it seems like it's loading the HTML / images etc... but the screen is just white.
Has anyone else had this issue? Do we know why? Is there a way to fix it?

That is a known issue until hardware acceleration is fixed

I'm running NRGZ28 ICS rom and noticed that the kindle app doesn't show page numbers but instead shows location numbers up 8k on the book im reading. I know I read another book using a CM7 last week that displayed page numbers. Just wondering what your current setup displays. Page numbers or location numbers? What rom are you using? I feel like a old man wanting page numbers on ebooks where changing font sizes changes the word count on a page.

I'm on unrooted stock 6.2.2 and it only shows locations. I think only real kindles (like my kindle 3) can show real page numbers.
My KF is currently showing page numbers. (using ICS ROM)
This may be wrong, but it's what i believe...
The kindle reader app from the Amazon store (or preloaded on the fire) displays locations. The kindle reader app from Google market shows page numbers.

Running CM7 and using the Kindle app from the Market and it shows location not page numbers.
I miss page numbers. Like I said I'm running ics and it shows location not pages. I'm also imported my own books onto it.

Ok, then I have no idea why mine is currently showing page numbers. At different times, it has shown one or the other... I prefer page numbers, so am happy it has settled on them.
TB lists my reader as "Amazon Kindle 3.4.2.4" if that is any help.

I believe certain books are different, I have two text books on my kindle, one has links within the book that can be clicked to go to certain figures within the book and the other is just a plain textbook with nothing special whatsoever included. The book that can interact with shows only location numbers, as where the other shows page numbers...I could be wrong though and it could be an entirely different thing.

Kindle reader
I have a rooted Fire and the book I'm reading (Hunger Games) shows page and location.
Looks like it is not rolled out to all Kindle devices and maybe not in the app.

Seems I saw on Amazon that some books have support IF your device supports it, but I cannot find it now, of course.
While I am here, has anyone found how to change margins in the Kindle app on the NRGZ28 Energy ICS ROM? My margins are so wide I get a teensy book in the middle of the screen. Searches here on xda led me to this thread, my google fu is failing entirely.
edit -
Ok, found it, known issue, no solutions yet.

Alright so I got a 32GB nexus 7 from futureshop, unlocked/rooted it running stock 4.2.1 and stock launcher. After I leave my tablet in sleep mode for a while (Atleast overnight) and then turn it on I can't launch ANY apps. Settings, games, nothing. The touch screen works perfectly fine I can open up the recent apps and the app menu no problem. However when I click on an app it just stays "glowing" and it doesn't launch until I reboot the device.
After searching I found nothing that relates to what I'm experiencing. So is there any solution to this?
Try to wipe it using cwm and then redownload the apps. Hope it helps! Please press the the thank you button if I helped

After installing Google Services with Fire toolbox v18.0, I get something like you don't have the right use it and check your parenting setting when I touch any apps. I thought I should try to restart the fire HD 10. After restarting it, the Fire logo keeps starting in the middle of the screen. And I can't use the tablet.
How to solve this problem?

You may still access recovery mode.
How to get out of this situation then?
Press the volume down and power button.
Thanks. That opens a path to access my Fire HD tablet.
