Sideloading books on unregistered Kindle Fire

Have sideloaded DRM free MOBI books on to a Fire purchased in the US but not registered here in UK.

When I try to open book I get the Amazon registration page and can't get past it

Do I need to register the Fire with Amazon even though this is is my own content I want to view?

Any advice gratefully received.

Thanks

RE: Sideloading books on unregistered Kindle Fire

Are your books showing up in the books section, as normally these will come up in documents if they are personally added items.

Is it when you actually open a book, or just click on the books tab?

RE: Sideloading books on unregistered Kindle Fire

Books load into 'Books' section, its when I tap on an individual book.

With the fire being unavailable in UK I've steered away from registering it to my Amazon a/c although I do have a registered Kindle Keyboard.

If there are no consequences to registering it I can do so

Thanks

No, there are no adverse consequences to registering it at all. It will attach straight to your account and give you access to any books you have in your archive.

Thanks for this, I will have a go at registering although it does seem strange that I can't view my own transfered content
