The advantage of ebooks is that they have the potential to be edited and updated almost immediately after an error in the content is detected. Furthermore, services like Amazon allow you to monitor the status of content errors that were reported from Kindle e-readers.
Not many users know how to access these reports. Some users may not even know how to report content errors at all.
Whether some content is not showing or syncing incorrectly across devices, in this guide, we’ll show you how to report Kindle content errors and monitor them.
How do I fix issues and check the status of my Kindle content error report?
Kindle table of contents not working
For self-publishing authors, Amazon provides a Kindle (.azw) ebook creation tool known as Kindle Create.
If you’re an author, editor, or publisher, we recommend that you consult the Kindle Create manual to help you build the interactive portions of your eBooks correctly.
Despite there being a wealth of resources to guide you through the process, creating a table of contents and making it accessible from the Kindle’s Go-To menu can still be very tricky.
Many publishers don’t get it right on the first try. As a reader, you can report table of content issues with the following steps:
If there is a table of contents but it’s formatted poorly or it does not appear in the Go-To menu, you can either leave the Choose issue menu on the default (Poor formatting) or select Low-quality images or tables.
While leaving a description is not mandatory, it’s good practice. It will also make things a lot easier for Amazon and the author/publisher.
Reporting Kindle formatting and proofreading errors from Kindle e-reader
If an entire sentence has formatting issues, hold your finger on to the first word of the sentence and slide it across until you highlight the entire sentence.
These steps won’t work for Kindle Fire tablets and non-touchscreen Kindles. If you own one of these Kindle types and you want to report an error, we suggest using the Kindle books’ webpage as illustrated above.

How to monitor Kindle report content error status
Expert Tip: Some PC issues are hard to tackle, especially when it comes to corrupted repositories or missing Windows files. If you are having troubles fixing an error, your system may be partially broken. We recommend installing Restoro, a tool that will scan your machine and identify what the fault is.

Amazon no longer allows users to check reported Kindle content errors from their website. Initially, you were able to see your Kindle content error report status from this page.
Amazon moved the option to the manage digital content section under devices and content.
From there, you could monitor the content error report status for each book by clicking on the action button next to the book and choosing the View your submitted correction option from the context menu.
When an error is rectified or a book has been modified, Amazon will update it. In most cases, it does this automatically when you connect your Kindle to the Internet.
If you find that the Kindle book won’t download or update, you can update it manually from the digital content management screen.
If a book in the list has an available update, a label that reads Update Available will appear underneath it.
Note: If it’s not fixed in this update, don’t fret, it’s likely that the publisher will fix it in the next iteration.
Kindle Content not showing
If you can’t find Kindle content in your library, make sure that your Kindle is synchronizing correctly, and that you have the latest firmware update installed on your device.
You can also manually download the book from the content management screen. In the case of some users, this option has resolved the issue.
In this guide, we explored how you can report content errors and track them. While the tracking method suggested in this guide may not be efficient, it’s currently the best one.
Nevertheless, we hope you’ve enjoyed reading through this guide. Leave a comment down below and let us know how you like to keep track of your Kindle content errors.
