Hi everyone,
I've got 2 different Amazon accounts. I've purchased a lot of books with my
Kindle One a year ago and I've recently bought a new Kindle Fire.
In order to access the Books on my old account, I have to register and deregister the device and download the books from cloud to the device every time.
I am just curious if there is a way to keep my Books and Documents after deregistering form my old Amazon account.
My Kindle fire is rooted and I've just found out that Kindle stores all books in my ''books'' folder after downloading them from cloud but If after that you deregister the device it simply deletes all of them. Now after making a backup of all files and putting them back in books folder Kindle doesn't recognize or show them after all.
Any Ideas?
Thank you in Advance
cheers

I don't know if Amazon changed their Kindle app or what, but I do know that after downloading my books from the cloud within my Kindle app, they didn't show up in either my "Books" or "kindle" folder. Typical Amazon BS.
What you can do however, is sign in to your old amazon.com account, go to "Manage Your Kindle" to view your library. For each book or document you want, under "Actions", select "Download & transfer via USB"
You can then transfer the .amz files you downloaded onto your computer to the device's "kindle" or "Books" folder depending on which one it uses. On mine it's "kindle" but yours could be different...I've never used the stock Kindle reader so I'm not sure.
It's tedious but worth it if you want all of your documents in one place.

Hi,
Thanks but I've just tried that. It is so weird there are absolutely no
purchased stuff listed when I access my account via PC there are only listed on my Kindle Fire so no way to download them...???
If I could figure out what one can do with those prc Files that would be great.
Are those maybe encrypted?? I think amazon encrypts the files so they can't be shared around easily ...

After rooting my KF (6.3.1) with KFU, I am not able to go to Amazon and "deliver" a document from my library to my device. It just goes to the "pending deliveries" list but never gets to my KF.
When I look at my documents in the cloud, I can see them and I can long-click and "download" the documents. I just cannot get them to automatically sync and be delivered to my KF.
I did install the Kindle reader from the Google App store. Interestingly, the original reader, from the default launcher can see everything in the cloud too, but cannot download anything to the device. I think I read that the default reader is looking for the document files in one location, but the Kindle Reader from Google actually loads/saves the files in a different location.
I wonder if it is possible to map the location for the Kindle Reader file location to the other place or vice versa.
I have not tried to see what happens if I send a document as an email attachment directly. I'll do that and see if the behavior is different.
Does anyone know if the Kindle Reader from Google can be uninstalled, reverting the functionality back to the default reader, or would I need to restore to factory defaults, re-root, and then not install the Kindle Reader from Google Apps?
Thanks!
Well, chalk it up to being impatient. Previously, it seemed like transferring documents went much quicker. Today, it just took some time for it to process. Everything appears to be working fine.
I want to start by thanking Hashcode for Jelly Beaning the kindle fire!
I recently Jelly Beaned my kindle and I'm having an issue with my Google Book and Kindle apps. I'm unable to search files locally for the books that I have saved on my Kindle Fire. I don't know if this has anything to do with the mass storage issue,but I was hoping someone came across a solution for this.
Thanks

When I switched from stock Kindle Fire to Hashcode's Jelly Bean 4.2.2r1 (just last thursday) I had to redownload all local books. Have you tried simply downloading one while wireless is on in the Amazon Kindle app? You should be able to find your books in the Archive section.
I tried and for some reason I can not upload my books I have stored on my Kindle. Usually the options show (Home, On Device, Archive, Store). Now there are no options at all,only the home button. And I cannot not find a way to upload my books from my device.

Okay, it almost sounds like your kindle app is starting up without being authenticated into your account. I'd start by clearing the apps data and then uninstalling and reinstalling the app.
settings->apps->Amazon Kindle
choose clear data, then when that completes tap uninstall. Once that has completed go to the google play store and bring down the app again. Properly log in and see if you get different behavior. If that does not work, I'd go to the Amazon Kindle web page for your account and manage your devices, see if you have an entry for Account Name's Android Tablet or not (where account name is replaced by your account name).

Thank you for trying to help. I did that and for somereason the toolbar is not at the top of the app as it usually is. I downloaded kindle on all my other androids and the toolbar selection "on the device" is labeled on top and allows me to migrate my books into the reader. I can't figure out why it won't even show the toolbar on my kindle now.
Thanks again for the help

I apologize for the delay, I was on vacation and had horrible internet where I was. Wow, I've never had the toolbar disappear on an app like that. Hopefully someone else has seen this sort of behavior and can give you some insight.
Have you installed any display type mods, something like a tablet mode change on top of hashcode's AOSP or some sort of theme?
Hopefully! Thanks for trying

I cannot find the answer to this anywhere. So, I have set up Amazon fire TV stick, registered with my Amazon account, downloaded apps, and sideloaded apps from computer, including adding some things to kodi, and added icons. But now someone who has Amazon prime (I don't) has said I can log into their account so I can watch free prime video. My question is, if I deregister from my Amazon account on the AFT, and log into the other one, will I lose everything on the tv? I'm not worried about the apps, but the sideloading I found very complicated? I won't do it until I hear, as I'm not sure I can go through all of that again right away!!!
You shouldn't lose the apps you sideloaded. They are invisible to your Amazon account anyway.

But you will lose the apps you downloaded from Amazon via your account.
I think he was only interested in the stuff he sideloaded.
By the way, not sure if deregistering your account effectively resets your unit. If it does, you may need to reinstall/sideload your apps. But if the apk are on the unit already, that should not be hard. You just need to install a file manager from the Amazon app store like es file Explorer.

My friend has asked me to put kodi on his firestick for him but he hasnt set up an Amazon account yet. I have installed kodi using my amazon account then deactivated my account. To test I used my dad's account to see if kodi was in the apps menu but it wasn't.I had to go to manage applications to get to it. [/size] Is there any way to easily open kodi when a new account is added?

I bought a firestick already rooted and now it is asking me to register with Amazon. It will not let me go to the home page anymore. When I try to register it, it will not allow me...how do i get my firestick working again?? Help!!!!!!
Easy. If you already have an Amazon account. Then log in thru that. If you don't or wish to create one anyway. Create an Amazon account thru a PC/Mac. Just use a web browser. Once you have created & possibly confirmed your account. Log in using that U/P. Nothing major.
You will have to purchase any free apps that where included/installed. For example Netflix, Youtube, Es File Explorer, Hulu, Downloader, etc. These are all Free apps for FireTV's. But the new account you are going to be using will need to have purchased what ever Free apps your FTVS/device had installed before. Those apps have not been deleted. But you need to add those apps to your "new" Amazon account if that account does not already have them as purchased (Even the Free ones must be purchased thru that account) for you to be able to access them. Any sideloaded apps like Kodi, SPMC, AppStarter, etc. Will not be affected by the change of accounts.
Once you are done purchasing your free apps. You might need to run "Settings/My Account/Sync Amazon Content" for all you Apps to show up correctly. It should do it by itself. But doing this manually is an option too.
My fire stick was uhm “clear” I guess you could say and now I have to “log” in to amazon luckily I had an Amazon account so I did that and it’s now also asking me to go to online to Amazon.com/code to get a code before I can even log on my WiFi and get this fire stick to work again what do I do
