I click on the free gift link that takes me to Amazon to download the book, however when I arrive at Amazon a picture of a dog pops up and says “sorry we couldn’t find that page”. I want to select another read if this doesn’t work.

Hi,while downloading the book they tell me that I can not download the book when I am not in the same location with the author of the book.I need your advice.
Thx
IMPORTANT: When replying to this topic for help, make sure you answer ALL five of the numbered questions.


I recently received the following error report:
The file is a mobi file and after I downloaded the file it will not open in the Kindle app on my my smartphone. Whenever I try I get an error message saying there isn't an application available to open the file. I even reinstalled the Kindle app.
The solution to this problem is to move the file into the books directory of your kindle app. Most devices download the file to a downloads directory first, so you need to move it from the download directory to the books directory.

How do you do that?

Option 1 - You can use a file manager on your device. Your device may already have one pre-installed even if you have never used it. You can also download a free one from the appropriate app store.

Option 2 - You can plug the phone into your computer and move the file from your phone's download folder to your the books folder for your Kindle app.

Option 3 - You can download the book to your computer, plug your phone into your computer and then move the file from your computer to your Kindle app.

If anyone knows any other ways to easily way to move and open a mobi file with the Kindle App on a smartphone or tablet, please post them. :)

If you have any additional questions about this, please post a reply letting me know!

Update Dec 4, 2015 ~ If this solution does not work for anyone, please post here to let us know. We can hopefully help. :) Please include the following details so we have the info we need to try to help:
  1. Did you try the solution above? Which one(s)--Option 1, Option 2, or Option 3?
  2. Do you get some kind of specific error message? What does it say exactly?
  3. What device are you using?
  4. Have you ever been able to open a mobi file in the Kindle App on that device?
  5. What other details or information can you provide to help troubleshoot? Any other details are helpful. :)

I tried downloading the Kindle Gift of the book The REMF, Hurry up and Wait by Ray Dyers, but neither of the links provided work. I'm using my cellphone. I keep getting an error page on Amazon saying, "Sorry we couldn't find that page. I tried entering the gift code too but no luck. When I do an Amazon search for the book nothing comes up for it either. Is the book no longer available? Thank you for your help!

I have tried and tried it turned out that the book never downloaded. The code never worked for me. I don't have access to the book and I keep getting email warnings. This is crazy where is the live tech support. There are too many written trouble shooting instructions.
