Till recently, I was using the CC with Kindle Fire Hd 7" and all was in good order.

I had a Kindle Fire HD 8.9' which was rooted to Android KitKat 4.4 by N2A OS.
I had the Nova Launcher installed and got all my Apps's up and running .

I installed the CC App , and the Amazon Kindle for Android App. Connected the Device to the Laptop with the USB cable, downloaded my books from Calibre.

Amazon Kindle on the Device displayed all the books in its shelf and I can open any of the books for reading.

Updated the CC with the wireless connection , all the metadata was updated. The CC displayed all the books on the Device , correctly after pointing it to the right folder (Kindle) . When I select a book on the CC and press the read option , it displays the various readers installed on the Device ( Amazon Kindle, Cool Reader , Moon + Reader).

The selection works perfectly with Cool Reader and Moon +Reader and the selected book opens for reading.
But when I select the Amazon Kindle , it starts the Kindle App , but does not
open the book , but the Kindle Home Screen . I can go to the book shelf in the Kindle App and select my book to read.

What could be the problem ? Cool Reader and Moon + Reader work perfectly, but Amazon Kindle option does not open the book .

Appreciate any suggestion , as I would like work with the Amazon Kindle Reader .
Unfortunately the "Kindle for Android" app provides no way for another app to ask it to open a book. The best we can do is open the app itself. We have tried and tried without success to find some way around this, including changing the dates on the files to try to make them appear "new". Amazon seems not to want to promote integration.

Note that the situation is different if the device is running Amazon's version of Android and the built-in carousel-based reader app. That system lets us tell the reader to open a book, but unfortunately it resets the book position to the beginning, another thing we have not found a way to prevent.
