mohl jsem si to přečíst tady v recenzích ještě před instalací - ukazuje pouze knížky koupené v amazonu, nic jiného si tam nepřečtete

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.
