I used to have the cloud reader on my Chromebook,and it mysteriously went away. Now the new version doesn't allow me to even read a book in my library. Can't begin to know how to fix it.

Achei que os livros enviados apareciam nele, mas não aparecem.

I specifically selected a book to be downloaded to my Kindle Cloud Reader. When I tried to open it, I was told to download the kindle app. I deleted the book and redownloaded it and same issue.

Extension safety

Risk impact

Risk impact measures the level of extra permissions an extension has access to. A low risk impact extension cannot do much harms, whereas a high risk impact extension can do a lot of damage like stealing your password, bypassing your security settings, and accessing your personal data. High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.

Kindle Cloud Reader requires very minimum permissions.

Risk impact analysis details

Medium Enables sending notifications which can be spammed but have minimal direct security impact.

Risk likelihood

Risk likelihood measures the probability that a Chrome extension may turn malicious. This is determined by the publisher and the Chrome extension reputation on Chrome Web Store, the amount of time the Chrome extension has been around, and other signals about the Chrome extension. Our algorithms are not perfect, and are subject to change as we discover new ways to detect malicious extensions. We recommend that you always exercise caution when installing a Chrome extension.

Kindle Cloud Reader has earned a fairly good reputation and likely can be trusted.
