I'm not immediately able to repro on 0.14.0 (https://github.com/brave/browser-laptop/commit/64b381abf3cbe91ec6ff007035c13100102d617b). That being said, there is still an issue. The Enable Offline button makes an attempt to do an inline installation of the Kindle Cloud Reader extension.

<link rel='chrome-webstore-item' href='https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/icdipabjmbhpdkjaihfjoikhjjeneebd'/>

The actual installation is triggered by the following:

KindleChromeInstaller = function() {
    function a() {
        function a() {
            window.location.reload(!1)
        }
        Kindle.top.chrome.webstore.install(void 0, function() {
            KindleDebug.log("install success");
            setTimeout(a, 250)
        }, function(a) {
            KindleDebug.error(a)
        })
    }
    function f() {
        return window.chrome && Kindle.top.chrome.webstore && Kindle.top.chrome.webstore.install
    }
    return {
        install: function() {
            f() ? window.parent.document.getElementById("inlineInstallProxy").click() : KindleMessageDialog.showError(Kindle.ERROR.OUTDATED_CHROME)
        },
        initialize: function() {
            if (KindleHostDeviceDetector.isChrome() && f()) {
                var d = document.createElement("button");
                d.id = "inlineInstallProxy";
                d.style.display = "none";
                $(d).click(a);
                $("body").append(d)
            }
        }
    }
}()

We may be able to clear this issue by simply supporting the Kindle Cloud Reader extension. I will turn my attention there next.

I ran into this issue this evening. Earlier today the read.amazon.ca worked without any issues, then this evening I went back to the site (after a browser restart and Mac in sleep for a while) and I am now getting the same warning. (I hit "no" to the offline reading option).

If I open inspector, the console shows "Application loaded from Cache with manifest..." if I then goto the Application tab in developer tools, ensure everything is checked and press "Clear site data" then refresh the page loads without any issues.

Was running into this issue and the above solved it.
