I am unable to even launch the app unless I am connected via wireless or 3G. I get a message saying that I am not connected to the web and so the app cannot launch. Is this normal? Can I then not read books offline, not even those downloaded to my ipad? Also my battery now runs down to dead on the ipad even when I have it in sleep mode. This didn't happen before.

I wonder if I have issues with the app or is something else going wrong? Anyone else trying to KCR and have these problems?

OK we can get back off topic now
According to the FAQ:
Quote:
To store your Kindle content in your browser's database so that you can read it even when you are not online, right-click on any book cover in your library, then select "Download & Pin Book" or "Pin Book." The item will be available in your Downloaded tab.

If you're unable to access your Kindle content through Kindle Cloud Reader while offline, connect to the Internet, then open Kindle Cloud Reader and select the Downloaded tab. If prompted, follow the instructions to enable offline reading functionality.
Ok, just tried it-you are right, you can't even open the app in Airplane mode, for example.

I just downloaded & pinned a book (took a while-have to say it isn't the quickest app in the world), and a little green pin appears below the book.

Turned airplane mode back on and....still can't even access the app. Odd.


Edit: ok, I'm seeing a "Saving App for online use" note on the bottom of the screen, with a spinning wait symbol...and just got an "error saving app", which is odd, because I'm pretty sure I saved the app to my iPad a few days ago. Every time I restart the app, I'm seeing that saving app...requestor, and it keeps failing. I have over 3G free on my iPad, so space isn't an issue.

Are you seeing that as well?
