If anyone has a solution on how to keep the Kindle for PC/Mac app from updating, please share.
Some use version 1.17 to avoid KFX ebooks altogether but now that Amazon is forcing this update it’s going to cause issues for those that still use older versions of Kindle for PC/Mac. Removal of KFX DRM isn’t yet possible with newer versions of Kindle for PC. If you own a Kindle e-reader you can still use the download option on Amazon’s website to get non-KFX ebooks, but if you rely on the Kindle app you might encounter this forced update problem.įor those of you that are confused by all of this, it all comes down to being able to remove DRM from KFX ebooks to convert them to other formats using Calibre. There’s a great write-up over at MobileRead that outlines all the ways to deal with Kindle for PC/Mac when it comes to ebooks in KFX format. I don’t like the newer version since they got rid of the mini player so I keep reverting to an older version and it keeps automatically updating to the new version. I’ve also been having the same exact problem with Amazon’s Music app for PC. Some folks have tried reverting back to an earlier version multiple times just to have the forced update take over again.
