I have pre-ordered a book on Kindle for the first time. Today is publication day but it hasn’t downloaded onto my device. How do I download it manually onto my Kindle please?

It will. It’s automatically generated. Perhaps this afternoon?

I agree with FGT, it will turn up. If it doesn't, have a look at your account on the Amazon website

Mine very rarely turn up automatically. Go to the symbol that looks like a magnifying glass on your kindle and type the name of the book. It should show up quickly and you can click on read now or add to library.

Many thanks for your help.💐💐💐

We have just returned from holiday and as soon as we were back home it downloaded, phew.

Can’t wait to get started on my much anticipated book called ‘Death at a Highland Wedding’ by Kelley Armstrong. This is book 4 in the ‘Rip through time’ series. Real page turners. 👍

It sounds like your Kindle wasn't connected to the internet - when you got home it found its familiar connection. You can set it to use other internet connections if you're away from home but obviously it's best to stick to ones you know are safe.

Thanks for explaining Septima.
