If something gets stuck
Let’s get you reading.
I cannot find my download email.
Check Spam, Junk and Promotions, and search for “Paper Moon Stories”. Check the email address used for your purchase. If it still hasn’t arrived after payment, email us with your order number and we’ll help.
Where did my downloaded book go?
On Android, open Files or My Files and look in Downloads. On iPhone or iPad, open Files, then Browse and Downloads. Check both iCloud Drive and On My iPhone/iPad. On a computer, look in Downloads. You can download the file again from your purchase email if needed.
The book is not appearing on Kindle.
Check that Send to Kindle and your device use the same Amazon account. Connect to the internet and sync. Look in Library, including Docs or Documents, and remove any Books-only filter. Amazon may need a little time to process a file. For email, check the sender is approved and look for an Amazon verification or error email.
My email says the attachment is too large.
Choose the smaller “Kindle email edition.epub” and send one book per message. If your email app turns it into a cloud-storage link, or still refuses the attachment, use Amazon’s web upload instead. You do not need to email the PDF to read your Kindle copy.

No. Use ReadEra on Android, iPhone or iPad, or open the PDF in a PDF reader. Amazon is only needed if you want the book in your Kindle library.
Can I share the files?
Your purchase is for personal and household reading. Please do not redistribute, resell or upload the book for other people to download. To send a copy to your own Kindle, use the private Amazon methods above.
