Default Kindle Reader from outside the Kindle UI?

Has anyone figured out why or better yet figured out a work around for why the Kindle software won't start unless you are in the stock UI? I can't get it to open from within GoLauncher at all. Sure I can just go back to the stock UI and read my books and magazines, but it would be nice to get this from inside GoLaunder or any of the other launchers.

That's weird, mine launches from Go Launcher just fine. So does my Amazon Video. No idea why though.

For me it only launches in Go Launcher if I have a book already open in the Stock Kindle UI.

For the time being I have a shortcut on the desktop to the amazon launcher. Just 1 extra step, seems to work. And when I hit home, right back to ADW EX homescreen.

I use ADW EX. I have a shortcut for Amazon launcher on the desktop.
I tap it, and amazon pops up as if you hit the home button on stock.
I go to books, app store for daily free app, etc. All is good.
I hit home button, i go back to ADW EX desktop.

Yep, I just use the icons in the launcher or desktop shortcut, dock shortcut etc.. All Amazon app icons work fine for me either in Go or ADW. No issues.

Default Kindle apps not working after I rooted and installed Android market on my Kindle Fire

Hey guys, Please help with my problems:
1. I have rooted and installed Android market on my KF successfully. So far, can download and install any apps from the market and run well.
(when stalling the Market, and stuck with vending.apk mounting (it always said"mount failed", I use Root Explorer instead of File Explore v.2.17.1, then it is ok)
2. After having the market done, I wrongly installed another KINDLE APP from the market into my Fire without thinking that this already pre-installed in KF no matter how we root it. However, when i run this, Kindle app still run well but I only can see the eBook that on my Cloud with Amazon but not all my ebooks that i copied in KF before.
I then tried copying all these ebooks to "/sdcard/kindle" like instruction of others, but my ebooks still cannot be shown on Kindle Apps
3. When I went to bed yesterday, I shut my KF down. This morning, when woke up, I turned it on, then I saw status "Installing the Updates....." automatically at start-up stage. When getting into the launcher (I used GO LAUNCHER EXPLORER V.2.7.0), tap into the Kindle Apps icons, nothing appear. It's freeze now.
4. I cannot not remove or uninstall the Kindle Apps (probably because it was pre-installed by Amazon in KF)
Please help.
