My Fire tablet is about a month old, so I'm assuming the book is KFX. (Is there a way to check?)

The ebook is $19.25! This is very unsettling to one who grew up with 25-cent Pocket Books. Even the educational imports from Paris with the green covers (Olympia Press, I think they were) went for less than a dollar.
Have you checked that this eBook does not have two covers by trying to go back after opening to the cover?
