Kindle PW, Application Error, The selected application could not be started

Imran Ahmad · 05-24-2018, 03:26 AM

my kindle paperwhite didnot launch koreader of selecting .pdf, .epub books, and give error as given below.
"Application Error, The selected application could not be started, Please try again."

OBSERVATIONS

After much of research i find out following observations.

1. Set was off due to battery low, after recharging it come alive.
2. when i open folder extensions/KUAL.cfg file i find out this
"# KUAL.cfg - created on Fri Nov 1 00:59:35 UTC 2013"
3. I tried to register set but it didnot registered on amazon website.
4. From menu, "Sync and Check for Items" was grayed out, so we cannot synchronize our device date etc.
4. When i tried my kindle DXG, also off due to battery low, recharge, its KUAL did not launched.
5. When i check date, it what 1970.

CONCLUSION

It seems due to date issue some how KUAL fail to integrate file with koreader, or itself.

SOLUTION

If some how we update DATE it might solve this error.

FINAL WORDS

But did not find a way to update Date in Kindle Devices .

CAN ANYONE HELP TO FIND WAY OUT.

On a PaperWhite, you should be able to set the date from the Settings menu, if I remember correctly?

If not, it definitely handles the

Code:

;setDate

searchbar command.

I don't remember the exact format it expects, but I think an epoch timestamp (date +%s) works? (At least that's how I use setDate on the cli).

That is the message common after an Amazon update, prior to the owner correcting for the update:
