Does not open previously purchased Kindle Books.
CHECK THE BOOKS IN YOUR DIGITAL LIBRARY FOR COMPATIBILITY BEFORE PURCHASING A KINDLE FIRE!!!!!!!!!! My Kindle Fire arrived today and I was anxious to continue reading books previously purchased for my Kindle 2. To my surprise, when I try to open a number of the kindle books on the Kindle Fire that I had begun reading on my Kindle 2, I was presented with a message "THIS ITEM IS NOT AVAILABLE FOR THIS DEVICE TYPE". Should a Kindle book not be able to be read on a Kindle? I can read all the books in my library on my Kindle 2. After paying $16.99 for a Kindle Book (11/23/63 by Stephen King) and $199 for a Kindle Fire, I cannot read the book on this device. Is this not ridiculous? Kindle Fire being returned tomorrow.
Added note: I can view the Kindle book on an iPad and an Android phone, but not on a Kindle Fire. Does that make sense?
