  Hi,
  I am preparing/drafting a few book posts and I noticed that the Amazon Kindle feature no longer displays the book that I would like to have a preview for.
  May I know if imbedding Amazon Kindle is blocked or disabled already? I tried a few different books and it’s not working as before. If this is already disabled, I will not be using it anymore. Thank you!

  Hi there, according to this support guide, you should be able to embed Amazon Kindle Instant Previews on your site, but I do see that this is not working. However, it might not be an issue with WordPress.com, rather a problem with Amazon or one’s browser settings.

  

  

  I’ve gone ahead and flagged your thread for Staff assistance and input. Perhaps they have more insight as to what is happening here and can advise.

  Hi there!

  Unfortunately, this seems to be a bug. We have already reported it here, and are waiting for our developers to investigate it.

  For now, if you have an alternative, I’d stop using the Amazon Kindle Instant Previews. You can subscribe to the GitHub issue I linked above to be notified of any changes.

  Thank you for reporting this and appreciate the help!

  I will check the status randomly. Hopefully, there is just a small glitch and can be resolved else it is a loss to WordPress if this feature will be obsolete.
