Kindle only reads Mobi. Have you tried to convert the file via the free Calibre App?
If you did all of the above and failed, you need to submit an error report about it via your Update tab.

I have send a reply regarding this. I was not able to download Amazon or Barnes and downloaded Calibre. I tried
all the options to open the said book on Calibre without any success.
Please assist.
Kind regards
Judy

It may be due to your location.
The book can't be opened on Calibre. Calibre just converts the files. You need an App to read it. Please answer all the questions of the first post to get more help.

I am using an android phone
No I have not used kindle on the phone before
I followed the “get ebook“ link to Amazon, but I couldn't see a download button.
I had earlier chosen "a hard option" when choosing to review "winning against cancer" by Sylvie mistakenly.
Please how do I get an ebook instead?

Once chosen, the format can't be changed, so you need to quit the book via your Update tab.E-princess wrote: ↑12 Mar 2019, 08:54 The file I intended downloading is in kindle format
