If you purchased this item from Amazon, delete the item and redownload it from Archived Items available in Home."
I then deleted the book from the Kindle and tried downloading the .mobi file directly through my PC browser and saved the file in the Kindle's "content" directly, but that gives me the same result.
I updated the Kindle's Firmware to 3.0.2 and retried the above but it still doesn't work.
Anyone ever experience this? I was able to install the Mobipocket Guide, and the Magic Catalog without any problems. |
I'm having a similar problem. I've been using the Feedbooks Guide for a long time on my Kindle 2, but when I went to update it yesterday I got the above-described error message and a file that my Kindle won't open. I can download the Feedbooks Guide on my Mac, and even open and view it using the Macintosh Kindle client, but when I manually move it to my Kindle, the Kindle still won't open it. Multiple attempts produce the same results.
This is really frustrating. The Feedbooks catalog has been an excellent resource; its public domain books are almost always better-formatted than the same book available through Amazon's Kindle store.
