Merry Christmas & Happy Holidays,
I recently downloaded the Kindle Reader for PC and it keeps crashing. Has any of you had this problem and if so how did you fix it? I am using Windows 10 and JAWS 2020. All help is greatly appreciated.

Hi Robbie,

In my case, it is not crashing, but I can no longer read the text, neither in braille, nor via jaws. This is a new computer as my good one was struck by lightning, so, I just don't know what setting I should check or change. Using windows 10 and jaws 2021. All the best, Takis

I think it has to do with how the book was formatted. I had a book that worked perfectly with speech and braille. I could use the familiar Jaws commands to navigate the book. I also have a book for a class we are taking that cannot be navigated with speech or braille as you describe. I can use the built-in speech, but it's much more accessible to use the iPhone version for this particular book.

Hi Les-all,

Actually, no. I tested it with several books which I could read find with jaws, and now I can no longer, so it must be some sort of setting. Cheers, Takis

Hi Les & Takis,

The issue I am having is Kindle initializes and opens and says that there are no books in my library and then closes. It doesn't even let me go in and adjust settings. Has this even happened to either of you? Thanks.

As far as Kindle for PC, I launched it, it did an update, and all is working as it should with Jaws 2020.

The library is there, selecting a book is good, and reading the text works fine, therefore, maybe check for updates?

No, I do not remember such a behaviour.

I suppose you could try uninstalling and reinstalling it, removing all of its data files in the process. If you would lose data by doing this, then it's probably an issue for Amazon support. I suspect its configuration or data files have been corrupted, and you may well just have to reinstall.

Actually, that behavior occurred on my elBraille, but not on my PC. Strange.

Hi All,

I guess I will have to resort to using my tablet for this task. Thanks for all of your assistance.

I have done all of the things you suggested and still no go. I guess I’ll have to resort to my iPad instead. Thanks.
