Dear Customer,
We are reaching out to ask you to update the Kindle app on your Android device to the latest available version (Android OS v9.0+). Starting May 26, 2025 Kindle for Android app versions released prior to March 2022 (v8.51 or earlier) will no longer support Kindle content downloads. This update will ensure you get the most out of the Kindle experience and that the app operates as intended.
Please follow the steps below to get the latest version of the free Kindle app.
How to Update:
1. Open the Settings app on your device. Scroll down and tap System or About Phone/Tablet (this might vary depending on your device).
2. Tap Software Update or System Updates. Tap Check for Updates. If an update is available, follow the on-screen instructions to download and install it.
3. Once you upgrade your device to Android OS v.9.0+, open the app store on your Android device.
Search for the Kindle app. Tap Update to install the latest version.
If you are unable to update your app, you can continue reading previously downloaded content, as well as continue to use Kindle for Web (
https://read.amazon.com.au/), a supported Kindle E-reader, or the free Kindle app on iOS, Mac or PC to download and read Kindle content.
If you have any questions or require assistance, please visit

Thank you for being a Kindle customer.
Sincerely,
The Kindle Team
