Hi Team.

I'm not able to open the epub format of the book "Always Strive to be better you". I tried to download the app for the desktop but it's not working. Please share the PDF or word document of the book.

5. I couldn't open the book in my Kindle library.

6. There was an error opening this book. If you continue having problems, please contact Kindle Customer Service.

7. Yes, I tried the OBC Reader, but there was never a file in my Files app with the book in it.

1) epub
2) Laptop
3) no it's my first time.
4) First, I downloaded the book and then the EPUB app. However, when I try to open the book in EPUB format, it shows an error.
5) I tried another book that wasn’t from an online book reader, and the app opened it without any problem.
6) Yes. It says, "An error occurred trying to open the file on user C. Please ensure that the file exists, is not in use already, and does not contain any error.
7) Yes, I read the top tips and tried the Epub and Kindle apps. The book is not opening with either app.

I just love the fact that a newbie can get support and assistance every step of the way when they are experiencing any form of challenge.

I haven't yet encountered any difficulty in opening any of the epub books downloaded by me so far,but this platform comes in handy just in case.

1. mobi
2. Android phone
3. Yes
4. It's true that I have faced the same problem before when I tried to open the file directly from the place it was downloaded. But then I read the tips in this post and tried moving the file to the kindle folder in my phone itself. It still didn't work. Then I downloaded it again and moved it by using my SD card in my computer. I could finally access it in the Amazon Kindle app then.
5. When I open it directly from its place of download, I get an error message "Can't open file'. Even after doing the same procedure I had done previously (refer 4), the file is not shown in the Amazon Kindle app even after synchronization.
6. Yes, I got the error message " Can't open file" when I tried to access it directly from the downloads.
7. Yes, I have tried and re-tried all the Top Tips to no avail.
