Unhappy Kindle App on Pixel 8 & Android 14 Not Working

I got Pixel 8 with Android v14 on it. The Kindle app will no longer open books that were not purchased from Amazon.
On my other phones and tablets, none of which are Google Pixels or Android v14, the Kindle app still works with Non-Amazon books.
I am trying to pin down whether it is the Google Pixel 8 or Android v.14.
Has anyone else experienced this?
If so, do you have a solution?
I reached out to Amazon and Google and got no help.
I read on my phone all the time and it is annoying to carry an old S8 just to read my books.

Why do you need to use the Kindle app for non-Amazon books?

Pixel 8 & Android 14 Not playing well with Kindle App

[QUOTE=Sirtel;4394224]Why do you need to use the Kindle app for non-Amazon books?[/QUOTE
I get a lot of books from Netgalley and Edelweiss to review for publishers. Up until 2 weeks ago, they worked perfectly on my Google 6 Pro but when I moved to the 8, those files won't open. Google has been useless for the issue. Kindle claims it is Android 14 since it works on my other phones with earlier versions of Android. I'd just like to find out if anyone else has the problem and if they have work around. Pocket Books visual interface pales in comparison to Kindles as does the Netgalley reading app. I'm spoiled with the very professional Kindle app.

Thanks for at least asking.
