4. Check for a Kindle Update

If you are using the Kindle app and getting this error, navigate to your App Store (Google Play Store or App Store) and look for a new version of the Kindle app. If there is, download it.

5. Check your internet connection.

If you are using Wi-Fi:

• If not, go to your Wi-Fi router. You need to check if the router has internet access. Usually, you can see that by just looking if there's a little light that's on. If not, you'll need to restart it. Just find its off button, click it, wait a few minutes and turn it back on. You'll need to wait for a while. If, by chance, you still don't have internet, consider waiting a while or calling your network distributor to see what the problem is.
