Amazon Kindle app crashing on iOS devices after v6.64 update for some (workaround inside)

Here’s the crux of the article in video form:

Amazon Kindle app is a digital library marketed by Amazon where users can browse, buy, download, and read e-books, newspapers, magazines, and other digital media via their devices.

This is a very handy app as users can access books from anywhere in the world and is available on iOS, Android, Mac, and PC.

However, according to multiple reports, Amazon Kindle users are facing an issue where the app keeps crashing on iOS devices (1,2,3,4,5).

When users open the Kindle app, it initially loads normally but after a few seconds, it crashes on their iOS devices. This keeps happening even after multiple tries.

This issue reportedly started after the recent v6.64 update and has been an extremely annoying one as users are unable to read their books.

Also, this issue is not limited to any particular book and has been affecting the entire user libraries on their iOS devices.

App no longer works
I have a newer tablet that has been working fine. Tonight the app stated it is no longer supported on my device. What gives? Was there another upgrade that made my new tablet obsolete?

Kindle App Crashing Repeatedly
I downloaded my Chem textbook with Amazon but since I did so have been unable to use it. Every time I open the app and use the book, it eventually crashes. I have tried countless times to reinstall/ restart my computer and even cleared the caches for all the Kindle files. I can’t seem to find a solution to this problem. Any insight would be massively appreciated.
