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.
