| Either I'm hopeless or my PDN isn't functioning properly. I found the Kindle App on SlideMe and thought I finally had it beaten. I downloaded the app, it only took a few secs. I went to Archived Items and a short list of books comes up. When I click on one, a full screen pic of the cover comes up, under that it says "Download Failed" under that there are 2 buttons, "try again and cancel". I click on Try Again. The little circle goes around and around, it says "Downloading the selected item. it will automatically open when the download is complete". It goes around forever, nothing ever happens. |

| ok the list of books are these books you "purchased" through your Amazon account? Even the free ones you have to go through the purchase process. You will have to make sure that the books are in your Amazon kindle page on amazon you will have to be logged in through your PDN to your Amazon account for the kindle app to access and download your books that are in your Amazon kindle account. Is your wifi working ok on the PDN when you are attempting the downloads? When you downloaded the kindle app to the pdn did it install the app and do you seen the kindle icon on your PDN? When you click on the icon does it open the kindle app? |

| Yes, the archived books are the ones I "purchased". I was logged in when I purchased them. After purchasing there is a button to click to go to "Kindle for Android", when I click it I'm taken to the archived books. There is a Kindle icon on my home page. As far as installing, I'm not sure, it was very fast. When I go into "manage apps" the kindle is there as Kindle version 110 and a button to uninstall, so I imagine that it is installed.. |

| ok and when you go there where you see the option to uninstall can you open the app from there? Are you seeing the kindle app icon on the apps list on the PDN? You have to use the kindle app from the PDN itself don't use the button on Amazon. When you open the kindle app on the PDN you should see the kindle icon picture as it loads then it will show you the open app. Then you should see somewhere that says library and under library you should see all items, downloaded items, archived items. Try the downloaded items first. Then the others. you should see also up top a little 4 squares thing that lets you choose between list and grid. Depending on the version you have it may look different than the one I am looking at on mine. you may also have a sync option depending on the version you can use the sync button to have all the info updated from the Amazon site to the PDN. When you go to downloaded it should show you any books that are currently on your kindle app on the PDN. Do you have an SD card inserted into the PDN? Some devices require there to be an SD card in the sd card slot to be able to download and it will store them on the SD card. I honestly do not remember if the PDN was that way but I always had an SD card in mine. If you select the archived option you should see all the books you have purchased at Amazon and a little cloud with a down arrow in the bottom right corner to download them from amazon to the device you click on that, must be logged into Amazon, and it should begin the download. Another option would be to use the SD card in a card reader plugged into your pc and move the books to the SD card from your AMazon kindle app on your pc. |

| You did it again RC. Using the SD card seemed to do the trick. I put it in, clicked the icon, clicked archived items and clicked download and it downloaded and synced. Thanks so much for helping again and for being so patient. Don't know what I'd do without you. |
