Amazon Kindle is still second to none in dedicatedly reading books of diverse genres. You may buy a tablet or a smartphone to meet your reading quota, yet those devices are multipurpose.

A user can easily download a book from the Kindle library and open it with Kindle Cloud Reader. But, lately, several Kindle users are reporting me of Cloud Reader not opening the book.
What is Kindle Cloud Reader not opening book error?
Kindle Cloud Reader error with opening content is a typical error that may occur when the browser you’re using is incompatible with the reader. So, it is not able to load the content. One thing, not every file format is compatible with every application on the Kindle. So, find out the list of compatible apps that can help you open the ebooks.
The error with opening books on Kindle may occur for different reasons. Also, it is tough to guess the root cause of this occurrence without analyzing the entire scenario. Still, I will try to figure out the possible reasons that may fall victim to this error.
Here are the reasons for Kindle Cloud Reader not book opening error:
- You know, the device is entirely wirelessly controlled. So, if you face any problem loading a book with the Cloud Reader app, first check the internet connection. There is a possibility that the Kindle Cloud Reader is not able to open a book due to the instability of your Wi-Fi. So, try connecting with a different network to check if the problem is on the network.
- Sometimes users witness this error due to the problem with downloading the book. If the book you want to read is not downloaded properly, it will not open. In that case, try deleting the copy of the book and downloading it again.
- If you try to open a file whose format is not compatible with the device, then convert the file into another format that is compatible and agreeable with the Kindle. Keep one thing in mind; you cannot open all sorts of files through Amazon Kindle; better convert your desired file into any Kindle supported formats.
How to Open Books with Kindle Cloud Reader
If you found all ok, and still the books are not opened with Cloud Reader, I have some easy fixes for you that are pretty simple to perform. Unless any hardware problem or physical damage is there, these solutions should work. Let’s get into the details of several workarounds.
Here are the steps to open books via Kindle Cloud Reader:
1. Update your Browser
A primary measure to solve issues with opening books can be updating your browser. Because an older version of your internet browser may cause this problem. Whatever browser you use, Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Internet Explorer, Microsoft Edge, Safari, and so forth, update them to their latest.
So, download the latest version of your browser and install it. Follow the instructions given below to complete the procedure.
Here are the steps to install and update your browser (Google Chrome):
- Click on the menu. You can find it as a 3 dots icon at the top-right corner of the browser.
- Hover over your mouse to Help. A sub-menu will pop up.
- Choose About Google Chrome options from the options available. This will redirect you to the browser update page, and the browser will automatically find out if the update is available.
- Click on update to install the latest version.
Now, try to open the book again on your Kindle. Then, check if it runs without any error.
2. Clear Browser Cache
Your browser stores those data in the cache memory that you visit frequently. Oftentimes, these cache files contain corrupted and damaged data that malfunctions other programs by interfering with the website data. So, to negate the error, I recommend you clear the cache memory and cache data.
Here are the steps to clear browser cache data:
- Tap on the 3 dots menu icon.
- Navigate to Settings.
- Choose Security and Privacy from the left pane.
- Click on Clear browsing data under the Security and Privacy
- Make sure you checked all the boxes and set the time range to the Last 4 weeks.
- Move to the Advanced tab of the pop-up window.
- Select the first 4 boxes, i.e., browsing history, download history, cookies and other site data, cached images, and files.
- Hit the Clear data
You are done! Now, open a book and check if the problem persists.
3. Disable Problematic Extensions
Many users reported that they could not solve the error following the typical methods until they disabled some third-party extensions from their browser.
The main issue with these extensions is that they often automatically configure your browser’s default settings. Sometimes, they block the content from running. So, to deal with this, you have to disable or uninstall these unwanted extensions.
Here are the steps to disable problematic extensions on your browser:
- Go to the menu of your browser.
- Hover over the More tools A submenu will come up.
- Click on Extensions from the submenu. All the installed extensions or add-ons will be listed before you.
- Locate each extension and click on the Remove button or toggle it off.
- Close the browser and reopen it.
Now, select a book that you were prevented from opening. Then, try to open it on Amazon Kindle Cloud Reader.
