Kindle: We were unable to download the book... please try again later

A few days ago I installed Kindle on my Mac Book Pro, then only after a couple days of using it I suddenly got this error and was not able to open any of the two books I had just bought, I was able to open the books just fine on my iPhone and iPad, but the Kindle for Mac kept giving me this error message no matter how many times I tried clicking; a search on Google gave me 3 results and no solutions, so I uninstalled the App and reinstalled, got nothing. I tried the Tools menu, manage your Kindle from the Kindle app which takes you to the amazon site, noticed the "your orders" at the bottom and the options to download the content, tried that a few times, still nothing, another thing I noticed on the Kindle app was that the title was something like "???????????????? Home", I knew something was messed up bad, but even reinstalling didn't fix it, so in one last desperate attempt I checked out the Kindle preferences [Command]+, or under the Kindle menu, preferences, I clicked the only button there: "Deregister", agreed to the warning and selected "remove all licensed content from this device" and clicked "deregister" again on the warning window; a register button then showed up, I clicked it to register the app again, had to agree to some other warning, and that right there was the solution, I was able to get my books (had to download them again) and start reading, so I'm just leaving this out there in hopes it can help someone else; long story short, deregister the app, make sure to select "remove all licensed content from this device", then register again.
