- The email and password of your Amazon account.
Sign in

You sign in once. Readio keeps the Amazon session on the phone and refreshes your library when you come back to the app.
A book shows how far you are only after you have opened it in Readio. Amazon’s library list does not carry your progress.
A new book is missing
Readio refreshes the library when you return to the app, if the last refresh is more than 15 minutes old. To refresh it now:
- On the home screen, tap View all next to Your Library.
- Pull the list down.
The top of Settings shows how many books Readio has and when it last synced, for example “42 books, synced 5 min ago”. Not synced yet means Readio has no library from Amazon: sign in again as below.
Amazon signed you out
Amazon ends a session from time to time. Your books stay listed in Readio, and you sign in again on Amazon’s page:
- Open Settings: the person icon at the top right of the home screen.
- Under Account, tap Open Kindle Reader.
- Sign in on Amazon’s page.
No Kindle books yet
The Free Classics row on the home screen opens a classic’s page in the Kindle Store, inside Readio. Get the book from Amazon there, and it joins your library at the next refresh.
