How to open TAN file?

The most common problem when using Amazon Kindle is that a specific TAN is not associated with the program. This causes the file TAN to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. This problem can be easily remedied.

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the TAN file icon you want to open. If the operating system has an appropriate application to support it and there is also an association between the file and the program, the file should be opened.

Step 1. Install Amazon Kindle

In this case, you should first verify that the Amazon Kindle application is installed on the computer. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name Amazon Kindle in it. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open TAN files.

Programs to open TAN file

Remember to download programs supporting TAN files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.

Step 2. Create association of Amazon Kindle with TAN files

If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the TAN file still does not use the Amazon Kindle program, it means no association. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select Properties. The displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of file. Using the "Change" button we can set the program to handle this type. If there is no software on the list, simply select "Browse" and manually select the directory where the application is installed. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the TAN file with the Amazon Kindle application.

Step 3. Update Amazon Kindle to the latest version

If, however, after binding Amazon Kindle with Amazon Kindle there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the Amazon.com, Inc. website and install the latest version.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the TAN file

If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. File problems can be divided into the following:

The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. Usually this applies to TAN files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our TAN file. Sometimes virus-infected TAN files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the TAN file. On their websites, developers usually offer free solutions to such problems, e.g. in the form of a conversion program or an older version of the program.
There can be many reasons for the failure. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair TAN file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use Amazon.com, Inc. help.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted TAN files cannot be played on other computers than the one on which they were encrypted, they must be decrypted before using on another device.
Some operating systems do not allow file operations in certain locations, eg in system directories or directly on the system drive. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. It is best to move TAN to a different directory.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. In this case, the TAN file is blocked by the first application to open it. Just close unnecessary programs. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the TAN file for a certain period of time. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
