AND, Kindle books under File Manager + shows 4 files, but in Kindle I have only 3 books which has always been the case.

#Clear default app file type pdf

Strange things though: My File Manager + does not show the PDF file in Downloads or Documents, but it's there somewhere (Google Books might file it away, hidden?) and the PDF opens clear, clean, darker text than it did in Kindle. Then I needed to delete the PDF file, restart tablet, resend PDF (mail attachment) and Google Play Books asked if I wanted it or Kindle to ALWAYS Open, or JUST THIS TIME Open. In Google Play Books tap 3 bars top left, then >Settings >Enable PDF uploading, and check the box. I found that Google Play Books can defeat Kindle at opening PDFs. Sure you don't have Google Books or another app that reads (may not actually open) PDFs? Tried to stopped Kindle from opening PDFs - option to clear defaults was grayed out under >Settings >Apps >Amazon Kindle >Launch by Default. Years later (now) added Kindle Reader App. Had Google Play Books installed and File Manger +. I just want to use another app without jumping through the hoops to open PDF File.Д¬lick to expand.Similar problem with a tablet (NeKit Kat 4.4.4 - really old stuff). I call Amazon on the phone and get transferred and put on hold until my phone rings and I take another call and then amazon hangs up. I have tried the Kindle forums and get no response from the community. If I reinstall Kindle, it takes it right back and insists it is the app to open the PDF file. I have uninstalled Kindle, and get the 'no app to open this file' (even though I have installed a file manager that could handle it previously) If I reinstall a new app, it's fine. I have no other apps installed at this time to open the PDF file. But if I just click on the PDF file, Kindle starts up - takes forever - and opens, categorizes, and massages the file uselessly. If I start the other app and open a PDF file, it's fine. I click on it and there is a ' Clear Defaults' button which is faded out and unclickable. The only option of any consequence here is ' Open by Default' which says ' No defaults set. I go to the setup -> General -> Apps -> Amazon Kindle. Now I want to use another app to open it, but AMAZON KINDLE refuses to relinquish control. But I don't like it for a number of reasons but mostly, It is slow. When I went to open up a PDF file, I was offered the option to use Kindle, since that was all that I had at the time and it was time-critical information so I just used Kindle.

Last November I got an Aristo with Android 7.0 installed. I used to have a PDF reader on my old phone. If it doesn't, might it be that the app you are using to open the PDF is itself choosing to open it using Kindle, rather than go through the OS? Alternatively, adding a new app which can also handle the intent should prompt the system to ask again next time you try to open a PDF, even if a default is set. With no default set it should give a list of all apps capable of handling an intent (i.e. I ask these questions because of the way Android handles 'intents'.

#Clear default app file type install

How do you open the PDFs? What other PDF-readers do you have installed? What happens if you install a new one (or uninstall and reinstall an old one)? So that's what we need to work out, why your Kindle app is automatically opening PDFs without the default being set. So it's not that the (5 year old) solution above is incorrect, but that your problem seems to have a different pathology, and hence probably a different cause. * open a fourth pdf - it asks which app to use. * go to Settings > Apps, select Kindle, there are defaults set. * open a third pdf - it doesn't ask, just uses Kindle * open a pdf - it asks what app to use, I select Kindle So can you tell us a bit more about your device or setup? Because I just tested this, and for me it worked as expected:
