Sometimes, Kindle and Audible won’t sync like they’re supposed to.Ī couple weeks ago I had this problem. Tap again to turn off narration if you just want to read as usual. Tap that icon to start the Immersion Reading feature. Then, when you open the Kindle book you’ll see a right-pointing “play” icon at the bottom of your screen when viewing the progress bar of the Kindle book. To do this, first you must ensure that both the Kindle and Audible editions are downloaded to your device. And by the way, engaging both your sense of sight and hearing really deepens reading comprehension. When you own both the Kindle and Audible editions of a given book you can take advantage of Immersion Reading: you can follow along in the Kindle book while an Audible narrator reads the text aloud, and watch as each word is highlighted as it’s being read. The most common reasons for Kindle books not showing up is either the device is not connected to the internet, or it hasn’t synced to your Amazon account.įailing that, you might want to turn off any filters you may have and of course check that the purchase went through in your account.The Kindle Powerfast International Charging Kit, currently being offered at $23.99 - that’s 40% off the regular price of $39.99!

#WHY WONT KINDLE APP SYNC WITH KINDLE UPDATE#
If Update your Kindle is greyed out, you likely have the latest firmware installed. Your Kindle will now reset and perform the update. Select Device Options > Advanced Options.Ĭonfirm the Update. Kindle will automatically notify you when a new update is available, but if you have your device in flight mode most of the time it can’t do that.īefore you give your Kindle a little nudge to update the firmware, be sure to check that your WiFi is on and the device is connected to the internet.įrom the drop-down menu, go to All Settings. It’s highly unlikely that this would cause an issue with kindle books not showing up, however, having the latest stable firmware release is one less thing to consider when you try to resolve an issue. If all else fails, you may want to try a firmware update (if one is available). If not, I would recommend you contact Amazon customer support to see if they can help. Once the payment is made you can check to see if the book arrives in Your Orders. If you’re confident the ebook is not on your Orders list and you still want the book, you could try to reorder the book again using the updated payment method. Make sure you save any changes before you exit. Now select Edit which is just above the card to make any changes. You should now see a list of cards on your account. In the app or on a web browser go to Your Account > Your Payments. Check your Payment MethodĪn expired card could be the reason why your purchase was not processed.įortunately, updating your card details is relatively straight forward. But, before you do this, it is worth trying the next method in our list. If you are certain the book is not in your orders history, try re-purchasing the book again. If the ebook in question is not on the list check to see if it is still in your basket. You should see a list of your recent orders. Simply open the app and select the three horizontal lines icon at the bottom-right. There are a couple of ways to resolve this, the simplest is via the Amazon app, either on your phone or tablet. One reason the ebook is not being shown is that the purchase was not complete. In the image below you can see I have “Books” filtered, meaning Kindle will only display any ebooks that I have purchased.įirst, tap on the cross “x” next to the “Books” filter along with any other filter words on your device.Īlternatively, select the filters icon and select Clear All at the top-right of the pull-up menu.Īll content such as PDF’s and ebooks within your Amazon account should be visible. If you have any filters already set, you should see them just above your content.
