My older tablet had a dedicated kindle folder. I have over 5000 books downloaded offline and I can't get kindle app to put them in my library. I've tried local access settings and everything else I can think of.
I don't know anything about Kindle specifically, but it's worth a try using whatever Android file manager that you're comfortable with, go to where the file you want to open is, then you could try just opening the file and see if it opens with the Kindle app automatically, or the file manager should have an option to "Open With" (some do, anyway, like X-plore File Manager that I use if I long-press on a file).
I often forget this is how I have to get my unencrypted ePub files into Google's eBook Reader app.
Could probably be that books is encrypted which means encryption key on your old tablet is needed to decrypt the current files, but kindle app on your new table might have different encryption key which is probably why it cannot read them. This usually is used to avoid offline usage/downloading and spreading the data to others for free if the books are paid ones.

I have seen others ask this same question, but have yet to see a fix. I have bought books through computer on Kindle. When I open Kindle on the NC I can see the archived books. It lets me click on them and download them to NC. They are then in my Kindle "home" to open. I have had 2 books that actually open and let me read. The others give me an error stating "Invalid book. Please remove from device and reload" or something to that effect. I do so, and then get same error message. HELP!
No problems here.
Try clearing your data for the kindle app.

Try uninstalling then reinstalling kindle. I just bought a book and its working fine.
One thing I had to do tho, was to actually go into my acct at amazon and get it sent to the right device. I have kindle on my phone, too and i had to designate my nook as the sync recipient (listed as android 2).
I'm having a similar problem. Reinstalling and wiping the app's data doesn't seem to do anything.....
Ok, this is probably a dumb question and I tried using "search" on the forums, on my device, from my computer and cannot seem to find the book I bought on the google market. I see it when I use Google Books app, but if I open kindle, or Aldiko I don't see the book, and when I use Root explorer I can't find it either. Anyone know where it gets stored?
I do not have google books on my touchpad but I do have the kindle reader. Book files are stored at /sdcard/.palmkindle

They are stored in the cloud. The only thing stored locally is a database file and the covers at /sdcard/android/data/com.google.android.apps.books/files/accounts/[email protected]/volumes. You can test this by putting your device in airplane mode and then try to open a book.
there's an option to store the books for offline use. they end up being stored here:
android/data/com.google.android.apps.books/files/accounts/*your email acct*/volumes/book
the book folders aren't labeled 'the book of basketball' or w/e but you can browse thru the folders. it looks like they are all separated by chapter in the "segments" folder.
converting those files into a sharable file is something that i don't know but i'd imagine someone has done it.
Is there any way to set Adobe Reader as the default app for PDF files?
When opening a PDF, the device doesn't prompt me to choose between different apps and just opens it in the default Kindle app. I've looked around in the applications menu in hope of finding some general "reset defaults" button, but no luck.
The "clear defaults" button is greyed out for all apps on the device, so I guess it's not there either.
My device is rooted, so is there some way to tinker with some file to make it open PDF's in Adobe Reader?
Thank you.
Edit: I saw a mention of Default App Manager in another thread, so I grabbed it, set Adobe Reader as default and it works, but only for PDF files I open through apps (Dropbox and Google Drive for example). Is there any way to make it work for files that I open via the carousel or the "Docs" menu of the device?
Don't want to get into Amazon pocket, so I don't want to register just installed Playstore and ready to go cz' no root. Anyway, I can copy in the books and read fine if opened from ES explorer, but once got into the Kindle Library, it asked to register.
Is there a way to use it without registering with Amazon? I want the .awz3 reading which I found almost non readers on PlayStore.
You (probably) won't find any awz3 reader on Play because it's Amazon's version of of the mobi ebook format with DRM. There are programs that will, ummm... "convert" awz3.
I wonder how are you going to get awz3 ebooks without an Amazon account, but you seem to already have some.
I believe your best option is to stop using the Kindle Library app altogether and install another eBook reader. Convert those awz3 files and stay away from awz3's proprietary format from then on.
After a long search, I found: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.geometerplus.zlibrary.ui.android
which can read azw books, but the layout seems to change a little. I may need to continue finding more.
I'm an advance computer user, but completely new to tablets/mobile stuff. Got a Amazon Fire 7 gen7. Read some threads and got Google Play and Nova Launcher as default from This Post. But I still have several questions. In no particular order:
Are any of the preinstalled Amazon applications useful or are the all purely bloatware?
What are actual Amazon applications and not stupid applications of "here is how you get to use this application"? Similar to old PC "this is how you register for a free trial of CompuServe Internet". E.g. what to keep from "Kindle", "Books", and "Kindle Store"?
I am using a 4GB mSD card. Already when to Settings -> Storage -> Move everything to SD card. Amazon Storage has be at about 90% capacity. CCleaner has me at about 70%. ES File Manager has 98%. All of these measurement are for the System disk space no SD. Which should I trust? What is the reason for the descrepancy?
Is CCleaner [android] as useful as it is for PC?
Is is actually worth or advisable to link an amazon account with the Tablet? (See below).
In order to run FireFox (for uBlock Origin) I had to download the APK and install it manual. Google play would say that it was incompatible with my device. The table would just send me to the amazon store. Is there any way to prevent my tablet from Prioritizing the Amazon store?
I would like to watch Youtube very easily on this tablet. Chrome doesn't have an adblocker. Firefox has add blocker but you must manual set the page to Desktop view (instead of the mobile site) for Full Screen view. Is there any best/simple way or application to watch Youtube?
When I use the Novus Google Search Bar widget it defaults to the Silk Browser. How do I make other browsers the default?
Are there any tutorials or orientations on using the Nova Launcher?
Sometimes when I play games, tapping in the corner of the screen brings up a hot/quick app launcher thingie from Nova. What is the actually command/gesture for this? How may I change its settings to avoid interruptions while playing a game?
What are some standard always recommended (non-game) applications for tablets E.g. Es File Manager.
Since I had to manual install these APKs to get the Google Play store, are they automatically updated by GooglePlay? I tried using the newer versions of them but got installation discrepancies.
