Does the Amazon Kindle app run on Android 7.1.1?

I'm setting up a Nexus 9 tablet for a friend. I flashed the Android v7.1.1 March update image then installed the Amazon Kindle app from the App Store . The problem is that when I open the app and tap the *Start Reading* button the app hangs with a blank white screen. The Android app runs find on my OnePlus 3 with Android 7.0, so I'm wondering if something in the latest Android version has broken it. I guess I could flash a v7.0 image onto the Nexus 9, and I will do that if no-one here can confirm the problem with v7.1.1.
