Assistive Reader does not work with personal documents.

If it is marked as EBOK (I think it also needs to be KFX), and it has valid ASIN, it keeps trying to go to Kindle Store listing for it. Without valid ASIN, you can get 'Invalid ASIN' error and it won't open. This is something that I gather happens with recent updates.

I got it to work somehow maybe by turning off WiFi and maybe after changing some metadata but would need to do more untangling of steps to see what it takes. I couldn't reproduce it with a second book, it just won't open.
