The Amazon Kindle app, it appears, won't register a device with Amazon over an Orbi installation.
Today I installed the Amazon Kindle app from the Apple IOS store on two iPads and two iPhones., and then set out to register each device by logging in to my Amazon account.

I presume other apps on the Apple devices work while they are connected to the Orbi?
Are the Apple devices connected to the main router or a satellite when this happens?
What FW are you currently using on the Orbi?
What iOS are you using on the Apple devices?
Sorry, false alarm. The problem was a DNS error which prevented access to Amazon, including Kindle.
I have both Australian and US Amazon accounts. Australia is geofenced and we are denied access to a lot of what Americans and UK internet users take for granted, but its possible to bypass the geoblocks by using certain DNS entries and VPNs to beat the system. My Kindle account is on Amazon Australia, but my DNS settings earlier today told Amazon I was in America and paradoxically, my Australian Amazon geoblocked American Amazon. Once again, sorry about the false alarm.
Since installing Orbi FW 2.1.4.16, my Orbis are working in all areas, including Apple Homekit with Lifx. No more intermittant Lifx disconnects (Lifx just released new FW too) and Homekit shows no Unresponsives either. All is going well.
Enjoy now. :smileywink:
