I'm developing an app related to books, in the book list the user marked the book they also have on amazon kindle, then when they click the "READ" button, the kindle app (iOS) open with that book opened.

my question is how to do it. I can open the kindle app with custom-url kindle://what-next?

but it just opens the kindle app, and I don't know how to do next. I tried kindle://book?action=open&asin={book-id} with no luck. (book-id from the amazon website url) In my kindle app I have the free sample of that book and I have to click to choose what to open.

Any one know how to do it or any ideal how to work around would be really appreciated.

Updated: I tried kindle://book?action=open&asin=B01MY0FRTE&location=40 on MacOS and it works but sadly it was ignored on iOS

    You have to ask the developer of Kindle app for the deep linking "API" / custom url scheme. You can't blind guess. – Raptor May 27 '19 at 08:54
  • @Raptor So you mean no way if I don't talk to developer of Kindle ? – harunaga May 27 '19 at 09:48
  • Yes, unless there is documentation somewhere. – Raptor May 28 '19 at 01:33
  • @Raptor actually I followed the link below but it's a bit different http://www.tjsg-kokoro.com/2015/04/07/workflowy-kindle-url/http://www.tjsg-kokoro.com/2015/04/07/workflowy-kindle-url/ – harunaga May 28 '19 at 01:43
  • luckily I know a little Japanese. The article is from 2015, and it's not an official document. Therefore there is a high chance that the information is no longer valid. – Raptor May 28 '19 at 01:46
