I use a Kindle rather than Kindle on PC, and have never had these kinds of difficulties but I did notice that occasionally a book disappears - so far nothing I couldn't restore but it was irritating to lose a book that I'd been plannign to read while overseas and Magdalena Ballhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00182314078304734996noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6411231637771693377.post-38608162756359215082012-07-26T01:57:39.458-04:002012-07-26T01:57:39.458-04:00*checks own Kindle for PC's to see if it'l...*checks own Kindle for PC's to see if it'll open* ...

I wanted to try the PC one so that I could play around with it and learn, using free books.Debbie A Byrnehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06219009309869041795noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6411231637771693377.post-69222934181222834892012-07-25T11:02:37.985-04:002012-07-25T11:02:37.985-04:00lol.

It was there, but each time I clicked on it the little wheel went round once as if to show it heard me, then went back to sleep. <br /><br />I eventually uninstalled, downloaded a fresh set, and then reinstalled - and all was well. <br /><br />Now for the big confession.
