I got a Samsung Galaxy Tab S2 8" running Android 7. Rooted it, enabled developer options, enabled USB debugging, OEM unlock, installed the old Kindle 4.16.0.75 version.

adb backup com.amazon.kindle
in a command prompt just sits there and after a while just quits having done nothing. Yes, I tap to backup on the tablet.

I installed F-Droid and from that store I installed oandbackup. I tried backing up just data and apk and data. No books in the ZIP. Yes, I downloaded several books in the Kindle app.

I have that same old Kindle version on a Sprint AQT80 tablet and with ADB it pulls the kindle app and ALL its data including the book files into a backup.ab file

I'd like to get this working on the Samsung because the Sprint AQT80 is extremely slow and wants to time out several times just launching the Kindle app, and most other apps. Dunno why nobody bothered to do a custom ROM for the AQT80, it wouldn't be a *bad* tablet if given a clean build of Android 5 or 6 to unburden it of all the OEM installed cruft.
