HELP !
Hello, can someone help me on this? I upgraded my KT from firmware 5.1.0 to 5.1.2 with the bin from amazon. From this time I cannot open any book : purchased or not mobi or pdf. It said that "I cannot open this book: it this a amazon book .. blahblah ..." thank you the KT became an useless thing after this update. is downgrading possible or is there a fix? THANK YOU Last edited by pportnawak; 07-29-2012 at 09:46 AM. |

Probable fix: reboot the device.

That is the obvious first fix for most tech devices. But I guess we need to say it anyway. I would avoid the SECOND standard method of fixing misbehaving devices (giving them a good solid whack) because that could easily damage the eink screen.

![]() My suggestion was meant seriously though. I have also seen this happening (couldn't open anything, same message as the OP stated), and restarting the device fixed it. |

I didn't ask the Amazon support team.
After reading the answer of a reboot. ... I just realised that i had duokan installed on my kindle. I deleted it and restarted. I can now open all my books without having to reformat everything. I copied the folders of duokan back and evrything is back in order. Thank for the hint geekmaster and ixtab ... i overlooked the dual boot. Sorry about that. SOLVED.
