Book opens then closes straight away on books app

There's a book I'm trying to open on the Books app on my Mac but when I click on it, it flashes up briefly on the screen and then closes. I've tried deleting it and redownloading, shutting down and restarting etc and it still won't work. Why is this happening? Is there a way to fix it?

MacBook Pro 14″, macOS 14.2

kindle app crashes every time opened on os x11.1 (Catalina) Does anyone know of a fix? I downloaded the kindle app again and installed it. No help. Interestingly every time I open a book in the app and I reopen after the inevitable crash there is a new blank book with nothing in it and nothing on the cover. I am at the point where I am not going to even try to use the app any more on my mac.

New iMac - Kindle App - 'blue book problem' Hi all. I have a new model iMac running Big Sur 11.6.1. I've had it 6 months and only just tried opening the Kindle app for Mac. It registers how many books I have correctly, but half of them are unreadable. Instead of seeing the book cover and being able to open it to read, each file just has a blank blue cover, and when I click on it the file is empty (it shows itself as being at the start position for the file) I've checked with the Kindle cloud reader in my browser and all my books show up fine, so this seems to be a specific issue with the app. I've tried deleting and reinstalling the app. No difference. Anyone have any ideas? (I've tried posting this on Amazon too) thanks
