It appears like Amazon has one other downside associated to ebooks spontaneously disappearing on Kindle ereaders, and this time it impacts ebooks from Amazon, not sideloaded books.
I’ve been utilizing Youngsters Mode on my ad-supported Kindles for some time now to keep away from seeing the annoying screensaver adverts (and I additionally like among the screensavers that they present as a substitute of adverts when utilizing Youngsters Mode).
The issue is downloaded ebooks preserve disappearing. I preserve having to obtain the identical books over and over, and so they preserve disappearing repeatedly, and so they disappear from the Kindle in common mode as effectively, not simply youngsters mode.
It will get actually annoying while you go someplace and also you attempt to learn in your Kindle and discover the guide you have been studying is gone and you may’t redownload it till you get WiFi entry once more.
At first I assumed Amazon was making it so an web connection was required to make use of Youngsters Mode now, however the books additionally disappear when the Kindle is on-line.
This isn’t associated to the newest software program replace as a result of it’s been occurring for a pair months now.
At first I assumed it was solely public library ebooks that have been affected, however I simply confirmed that it occurs to ebooks bought from Amazon as effectively. I had Youngsters Mode open and solely two books have been displaying up, so I turned off airplane mode and redownloaded one of many lacking books, and proper after it downloaded one of many different two books had disappeared and now it must be downloaded once more too.
The books nonetheless present up on the listing of books that you simply’ve added to the youngsters profile (provided that your Kindle is on-line), however they preserve having to be downloaded over and over. Then one time I attempted to open Youngsters Mode and bought the display screen on the prime of this submit. I exited Youngsters Mode after which got here again and the listing of books was there once more, so there appears to be a number of issues with Youngsters Mode.
I first observed this challenge with a guide I borrowed from the library (tip: you may solely add library ebooks to a youngsters profile from the Mother or father Dashboard on Amazon’s web site; it gained’t work straight on Kindles). My Kindle merely refused to have the library e book downloaded to the youngsters profile and the common grownup profile on the similar time. For those who obtain it to 1 the guide will disappear within the different.
To be clear, the books aren’t disappearing from my account, simply the Kindle itself. It appears you could’t have the identical ebooks downloaded to a youngsters profile and the common profile on the similar time. For those who attempt to try this it causes the Kindle to go haywire.
I used to be making an attempt to determine this downside this morning, and now Amazon has eliminated all of the downloads from my Kindle Paperwhite when utilizing common mode, even books I by no means downloaded to the youngsters profile and even added to it. Each single e book that I’ve obtain since final fall once I bought the Paperwhite is now gone and must be redownloaded once more. My studying historical past is all screwed up now too; a number of of my just lately learn books are now not showing on the prime of the listing.
Utilizing Youngsters Mode appears to be the crux of the issue. My Kindle was working positive till I converted to Youngsters Mode. One thing is critically damaged with Youngsters Mode on Kindles. Except you need to preserve downloading your books over and over I’d keep away from utilizing it for some time till they get it mounted.
