The version of Kindle4Mac that you can download from amazon.com won't work on Lion, you have to download the (very out-of-date) Kindle app from the Mac app store.
Hi Heather,
- The unique ID for this application's bundle is com.amazon.Kindle for Mac. The following versions: 1.2 and 1.0 are the most frequently downloaded ones by the program users. This free software for Mac OS X is a product of Amazon.
- Create Kindle-ready files on Mac. Instead of uploading an HTML or DOC file to the KDP website for conversion, you can convert your book into Kindle format directly on your Mac. You can either upload this file to your Kindle device or view it in Kindle Previewer to check the quality of your eBook before publishing.
Today I discovered I'm having the same issues... I own an older version Kindle and always buy online, download to my Mac and then transfer the file by USB. However today I tried for 3 books and the first one was not a problem. The 2 others would not download with the correct file - its just an empty page with the title FSDownloadContent.
This link sort of helped: http://www.amazon.com/forum/kindle%20customer%20service%20q%20and%20a?_encoding= UTF8&cdForum=Fx1GLDPZMNR1X53&cdThread=Tx1YPISXRX8YOGC
basically Paul Bramer says:
1. I deregistered my Kindle for Mac ('Manage Your Kindle>Manage Your Devices')
2. I REMOVED the app from my computer.
3. I downloaded the latest version of Kindle for Mac (Department: Kindle>Kindle Free Reading Apps>...) and followed the install directions. (btw, I learned that Amazon has no system for alerting us to app upgrades!! Hard to believe with all the account info they have.)
4. I opened the newly downloaded app. It repopulated with all my archived and downloaded books, included the 'problem' book.
5. When I tried to open the problem book, I got the same message, 'The book could not be opened. Please remove the book from your device and redownload it'...but wait...
Kindle On Mac
6. I removed the book (from my downloads folder) by deleting it.
7. I went to the Archives where it was still listed (I didn't need to resend it to the Kindle for Mac app but perhaps that would be a needed step for some). I clicked on the title, it downloaded and...ta da...the book OPENED.
Hope this saves somebody the hour it took me :). If the problem does in fact lie with an out-of-date app, Amazon owes us the courtesy of alerting us to app upgrades (and making an easier upgrade path).
HOWEVER, it lets me open the books on my computer using Kindle for Mac but still won't let me transfer it with a working file to my actual kindle! So not a great fix since I want to read the kindle not my computer on the beach!

Hopefully someone else out there has a solution...?
