After installing the latest CM 10.1 nightly I cannot run the Kindle Reader app. It starts to open and then closes every time. I have cleared cache/data, uninstalled, installed from Amazon App Store, nothing has worked. Anyone else have this issue? Any suggestions?

Something different between 0813 and 0817 update. Was working before that update. It is a CM thing I'm guessing. I haven't researched what's happening with other devices.

The latest 10.1 update I see is 0813. That's the one I'm using and the Kindle app doesn't work. Are you saying it works on the 0812 update?

I am running 8/12 CM10.1 and the kindle app (version 3.8.2.4) is working fine.

Yes, there is something different. 8/17 is CM10.2 which is known to not work with the Kindle app.

OK, I installed the 08/12 and it's working now.
Please look at the build.prop file. I am recalling that a change in device ID was made somewhere that I saw in the changelogs.

Would be strange that the Nook HD cannot run Kindle app and is also supposed to be not compatible with the Nook Reader either (it does work fine with NookR).

Just ran OK on 0819 update NookHD.

But, still doesn't run on the HD+
Those 8/19 builds are still CM10.2. Are you saying the 8/19 hummingbird nightly CM10.2 runs the Kindle app ok? Or are you running bokbokan's CM10.1 on the HD?

Are we any closer in getting Kindle working on CM10.2 or even the latest version of 10.1?
For a device which is sold as an e-reader it would be nice to read my Kindle collection on it.

If you need the Kindle app working, it seems the best best is 8/12 10.1 cm as 8/13 is not working as well as the 10.2 cm roms. I am not sure if that has changed.

Kindle app is still not working in 10.2 as of the 8/26 nightly. I've been running the 10.1 8/12 nightly for kindle app and Bluetooth keyboard support.

Still nothing...

Same with the version of 08/27.
On my nook, after installing the new nightly, I can start the Kindle app once, I log in and it imports my books.
After that it crashes while trying to start again.

I'm on CM 10.2 24/08 and its not just Kindle that has this problem but also the Amazon shop app as well. Both these start and then force stop - perhaps the issue is something specific to Amazons set up in their apps??

I have a work around for anyone on the latest CM builds. You will need a browser which has it's useragent set to something other than mobile/tablet/android (I have Dolphin permanently set to Desktop for sites which don't play nicely) and visit https://read.amazon.com/
All your books available with Whisper Sync.

Had the same problem - uninstall and reinstall solved it.
@artesa: Seems only to work with books bought from Amazon - I could not see any of my uploaded documents (i.e. books).

Also no change in today's nightly: Kindle still crashes.
