#Kindle 1.17 issue how to#
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. Provide 5 output formats for conversion.Įven if you choose to ignore the update when the prompt appears, it will still update the program to version 1.30 whether you like it or not. What does Epubor Ultimate do? Remove DRM protection from Kindle books Support Kindle for PC/Mac and different Kindle models Support 13 input formats such as AZW, AZW3, KFX, EPUB, MOBI, etc. Click the notification to open the window of downgrading the Kindle for PC and click on 'Start' button to start the automatic downgrading process. 3 Click on 'Kindle' tab, if you are using the Kindle for PC/MAC version higher than 1.24, there will be a notification to remind you to downgrade your Kindle version, see below picture. Searching for 'Kindle' got me Kindle for Windows and dozens of totally unrelated products but no Kindle for Mac.

UPDATE 2016 None of the older versions would run on the latest Mac OS so I tried to get a newer one. But hey, this Amazon kindle software was free- sure glad I didn't buy a tablet and get stuck with a non-functioning product. In order to use it, you need to have a registered Amazon account, as the application prompts you to login right at startup. Kindle for PC is a handy and easy to use application that you can use to read Kindle books using your computer, without needing a Kindle device. There are a number of reports of this happening at MobileRead and it appears to affect both the PC and Mac versions of the app. For those of you that use an older version of the Kindle for PC or Mac application on your computer to avoid ebooks in KFX format, Amazon has started forcing an update to the latest version even if you have automatic updates turned off.
