Default [Q] Kindle app updated no files

I've rooted my Kindle Fire. I installed the Android Marketplace. I thought it would be a good idea to update the actual Kindle app. Now I cannot get access to my books or documents despite them still existing on the device(checked using es file explorer). I found the directory for the new version of the kindle app by downloading a free book from the store and then finding its files. (/sdcard/Android/data/com.amazon.kindle/files).

I can live with this, but how would i go about restoring the Kindle Fire version of the Kindle app?

I use Go Launcher EX and I updated my Kindle App. I had to move my .mobi files to /sdcard/kindle and I had to re-download anything I bought from Amazon.

The only thing that doesn't work for me is the Toy Story 3 picture book I bought for my son. It will only work with the stock Kindle App. It's not a big deal though.

I like it better this way than having to run the Amazon Launcher.

Thank you so much! This was exactly my problem.

Search terms in case someone else is looking for this answer "rooted kindle no documents books disappeared"

For others having this problem, just move all your files in either /mnt/sdcard/Documents or /mnt/sdcard/Books into /mnt/sdcard/kindle.
