The problem is that the Nexus 7 resolution is at 1920x1080 while the Tab Pro is at 2560x1600. Most likely it is the same problem as the Aldiko reader where the bookshelf do show the cover page but the cover page is blank when opening the book & also a blank page when the page has an illustration.

So, sometimes an app may fail but not because it was from Google or Amazon. I even used an app extractor on the Tab Pro successfully but it wouldn't install on the Kindle Fire HDX 8.9 (2014).
umm.... wha..?

i'm talking about reading kindle books on (kindle app on Andoird tablet) versus (kindle device). does the app have any limitations that the device itself doesn't?

or in other words - if i already have an Android tablet, does the app give me all the same functionality and capability as a dedicated stand-alone Kindle Paperwhite would (for when i buy a book via Amazon)? excluding the obvious aspect of screen technology.
