[BUG] Links don't open in Kindle app #152

Open robertandrews opened 2 years ago

robertandrews commented 2 years ago

Describe the bug Links to book location refs open the Kindle iPad app, but do not open the book or its specific location.

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behaviour:

  1. Highlights were synced on iMac.
  2. Vault opened on iPad.
  3. Clicked highlight link, eg. kindle://book?action=open&asin=B07SL9YNGD&location=208
  4. Kindle iOS app opens on Home tab, and does not go further.

Expected behaviour Kindle app should open to specific book location. Unclear if this is happening on MacOS, I haven't tried it there - I don't use Kindle on a computer.

Desktop (please complete the following information):

NB. The same is happening using links from Clippings.io. Has Amazon changed the URL schema for the Amazon app, or is it desktop-specific?

I'm having the same problem with my Macbook (M1 - Kindle App) and iPhone (Kindle App).

Links to refs will open the Kindle App, but not the book or the location.
