Kindle App Not Opening On Mac

After downloading a .mobi file, there are three ways to add it to your Kindle library. We recommend first trying to use Amazon's Send to Kindle desktop app. If that doesn't work, you can send files to your Kindle using your email or transfer the file with a USB cord. If you are having trouble using the Prolific Works App to download to your Kindle app, click here.

Some third-party apps may not be supported for use on Kindle Fire. Supported devices can be found on the app's detail page on the Amazon website. If you are having trouble switching between an Audible audiobook and a Kindle book, verify that Whispersync for Voice is available for the title.
Now go to the Kindle App for the device. Click the Sync button, and wait a few minutes for it to sync, although it should happen right away. If you have a Kindle Fire, the book should appear in the “Docs” section on your Kindle. The cover may not show until you open.

After converting, the app gets stuck at Queued or Waiting to Download. I have tried removing and reinstalling the app multiple times including removing the device from the device list and starting over with no luck. I can’t figure out how to force the download to continue. Any help is appreciated. Kindle Cloud Reader is a web app from Amazon that lets you read your Kindle books, instantly.

Senior Amazon support staff explained that Apple requested Amazon force all Mac kindle users to upgrade to the 10.10 before they can use the latest Kindle app. And on sep.15th the app on my iMac will no longer work at all anymore.

Send to Kindle App from a Computer

If you are on a computer (Windows or Mac), there is a program you can download called Send to Kindle. It is an official Amazon program that will quickly get mobi and pdf ebook files from your computer to your Amazon Kindle account.

Download the appropriate Send to Kindle for your device. (If you have a pc, download Send to Kindle for PC, if you have a mac, download Send to Kindle for Mac, etc).
When you’ve downloaded the program, find it on your computer (usually you should be able to find it in your “Downloads” folder). This will open an “Installer”. This Installer will guide you through the installation of the Send to Kindle program onto your device. Follow the instructions it gives you.
Once you download and install this program, it will ask you to log in to your Amazon account.
Find the attachment at the top or bottom of the email called “Here is your claimed book!”, and click on the attachment to download the file.
Find the ebook file (.mobi or .pdf only) on your computer where you saved it (when you download a file, it is automatically sent to your “Downloads” folder unless you have picked a different default location for downloads or saved it elsewhere), and drag the file into the Send to Kindle app where it says “Drop files here”.
Put a checkmark next to the device you want to send your file to and click “Send”.
You should see a dialogue box that reads “Upload complete'. Give us a few minutes to format and deliver your document. Please ensure your Kindle is connected to the network to receive your document. Select the “OK” button
The book should appear in your Kindle library. If it doesn’t, select “Sync & Check for Items” and check if your book has arrived. This may take a few minutes. If you have a Kindle Fire, the book might be found in the “Docs” section, and the cover may not appear until you have opened the book.

Send From Your Email

If Send to Kindle doesn’t work for you, send files directly to your Kindle email. You'll first need to find your Kindle email address through Amazon.com, and then you'll be able to forward your book file to your Kindle.

Adding an Approved Kindle Email Address

Login to your Amazon account through the Amazon website.
1. If you live in the United Kingdom, use Amazon's international site.
2. If you live in Canada, use Amazon's international site.
3. If you live in Australia, use Amazon's international site.
You will be brought to the 'Your Content and Devices' page. Select the “Preferences” tab.
Scroll down to 'Personal Document Settings' and click on the header to expand the section. You will see a list of your Kindle email addresses (i.e.____@kindle.com). There will be one email address listed for each Kindle device you own.
Make sure the personal email you use to claim your books is on the 'Approved Personal Document E-mail List,' which is also in the “Personal Document Settings” section (just below “Send-to-Kindle E-Mail Settings”). If it is not, click on 'Add a new approved e-mail address' and add the personal email address that you claim books from Prolific Works with here.

Send Your Files to Your Kindle Email

Use your personal email address when claiming a Prolific Works book.
Forward your Prolific Works email, along with the book file you received from us, to your Kindle email address. Your Kindle email address is the email address that you use to access Amazon.com, but with '@kindle.com' as its domain. For example, if your Amazon account login email is prolificworks@gmail.com, then your Kindle email address is prolificworks@kindle.com. When sending the email, make sure to change the Subject line to 'Convert'.
Now go to the Kindle App for the device. Click the Sync button, and wait a few minutes for it to sync, although it should happen right away.
If you have a Kindle Fire, the book should appear in the “Docs” section on your Kindle. The cover may not show until you open the book for the first time.

Amazon’s Kindle is a great reading platform with a number of useful annotation features, but sometimes it’s not enough.
I recently updated my four-year-old post on Kindle annotation tools, and I realized it was time to do this post as well. Much has changed in the past couple years since this post was first published; Amazon has added new features to the Kindle platform and some of the tools I found then are no longer supported by their developers (in fact, one or two tools in this post were simply abandoned and had their domains snapped up by gay porn sites).
That older post focused heavily on Amazon tools like the email export features in the Kindle apps for iOS and Android (which are now available on the Kindle and Kindle Fire). This post covers just non-Amazon tools you can use to manage your Kindle clippings.
There are a wide variety of tools out there, including some as simple as the one that converts your myclippings text file into a CSV. (That sounds strange, I know, but if you use spreadsheets a lot then this would be a great first step.)

OneNote Clipper

Microsoft’s note-taking app has a tool where you can clip a webpage and import it into a notebook. Evernote has a similar tool, and you can use them to snag your notes and highlights by going to kindle.amazon.com/your_highlights and clipping the page.

To be honest, I don’t find either tool very useful; they grab the whole page rather than the key parts. A more focused tool would be better.

So I went out and found a bunch.

Evernote Exporter

This is a bookmarklet-based tool that is designed to take your my clippings text file and spit out an EML file you can import into Evernote.

It used to work, but no longer does. I like the idea, though, so I am hoping someone will take it over and get it running again.

Kindle to Evernote

K2E is a Chrome app that will automatically upload your Kindle Notes and highlights to Evernote.It costs $1 a month. I don’t think it’s worth it, but (to name one example) I can see how an author might want to use this type of automation with their beta readers. This tool has not been updated since 2015.

Bookcision

This tool is installed as a bookmarklet, and you use it by clicking the bookmarklet while visiting the book’s page on read.amazon.com.

Bookcision will reformat the page so you have a cleaner view of your notes, and you can then copy them to notepad (Chrome users can also download them).

And if you are using macOS, you (might) have an alternative: Notescraper.

Calibre

Everyone knows that calibre is an ebook conversion and library management app, but sometimes some of its features are overlooked. For example, it can manage the ebooks on your Kindle – and it can also collect and organize your annotations.

And it’s not the only app with this feature.

DaleyKlippings

This is an open source software package that helps you import your Kindle’s “My Clippings.txt” into other programs. The system can be customized to output files in a wide variety of formats. This tool has not been updated since 2014.

KindleMate

Kindle Mate is a neat tool with rich features designed to sync, organize, import & export Kindle clippings (Kindle highlights and notes) and Kindle Vocabulary Builder words on your computer. This tool has not been updated since 2017.

Klib

This macOS-only app lets you import your notes from a myclippings file or from Kindle.Amazon.com. Once you have them you can manage them in the app, or export them in Evernote or Markdown formats. You can also use the app to open Kindle for macOS and read the note or highlight in the ebook it came from.

Clippings.io

This web-based service can integrate with your Kindle account and automatically import your notes (via a $2 Chrome extension). You can also automatically import the notes from your Kindle, or the the Kindle apps for iOS and Android.

Once you have the notes you can share them online, or export them in a variety of file formats. You can even automatically export them to Evernote.
