Jim-Leff Jan 5 FYI current version is 1. I am running IOS Yosemite Crashes, mostly crashes. When I get it to stay open for awhile, It shows fairly new stuff only, and just notifies of a failed download on ALL new books. I spent an hour and 6 Amazon agents in a chat session and they will not supply a previous version, but all those having issues must wait until they resolve the issue.
Derekcurrie Sep 9 You can still download it from Amazon via the link on this page for Amazon. If you're beta testing OS X Meitnik Aug 28 Would like to share an email I got from Amazon a few days ago: Dear?????? It's time to update your Kindle for Mac app! We appreciate the time you've spent reading with our Kindle for Mac app, but you have registered a version on one of your computers that is out of date and scheduled to be retired by September Our latest update version 1.

Thanks for reading with Kindle! Senior Amazon support staff explained that Apple requested Amazon force all Mac kindle users to upgrade to the And on sep. So content I have in my Amazon account is forever locked up out of my use until I upgrade my Os and the Kindle app. Would you trust Apple and Amazon now?
I cannot afford to buy a new mac let along pay for upgrading all my apps just to run on Apple and Amazon have gone to far with their controlling users. Please share and pass on this warning. I am pissed off. Thel Aug 28 Kindle for Mac version 1. Steinar-Helgesen Apr 26 Its ok but needs feature to add audiobooks into it. I listen to Kindle audiobooks in the car and would be nice to have when i am working. Holmemoss Apr 26 Sanchai Apr 26 When I download Kindle app from MAS, it download but the app end up in Incompatible software folder not in Applications folder as it should be.
I have to move it to trash, then move it back to Applications folder. But it work fine. What is the problem? Robertcoogan Dec 29 This app has a much better interface than iBooks, and is very reliable on my MBP and iMac, both of which are almost 5 years old.
My only criticism is that there is no way to sort titles by date added. This app used to work flawlessly but never worked during the Yosemite beta period, during which time I bugged Amazon, twice. And now it still doesn't work as of the date of this review, on the publicly released version of Yosemite. No doubt Amazon will fix at some point but shame on Amazon for allowing this to happen in the first place.
It will load an epub doc but won't do the mobi conversion in the process. So I'm rating it 1 star for how. When they fix it, it will be back to 5 stars. After downloading some recent updates, my Kindle for Mac app wiil not launch.
If I download it from the Mac App store, will I lose access to all of my library? After updating to Please Update! Thank you! Vitaly Aug 24 Aargl Jul 4 Why doesn't Amazon show clearly on their download page what is the number of the current version? Before I think to check here, my only opportunity was to DL it again and check if it was different!
Thank you MU! Vulcan- May 29 Macupdates has really messed up the Kindle Reader info.. This version, 1. The version numbers are misleading. It seems this app only allows one to have up to 99 books in one's library, and then starts removing older ones to allow for newer books added. I've searched for any discussion of this, and have yet to find any. B-Jefferson-Le-Blanc Nov 2 For some reason MacUpdate doesn't have the most recent version.
Ronnb Sep 9 This works well enough with downloading and viewing e-book purchases from Amazon. It has a decent set of application tools for customizing the viewing experience as well. Kindle on OSX has one serious deficiency and that is if I buy a book with recorded examples or media examples, these are not downloaded or available from with in this application — though I paid to have access to the ENTIRE book.
This is a serious issue for certain books that come with CDs and should be corrected. Jweisbin Jan 26 Why does the app store still show version 1. Joeschisa Jan 25 Good for Kindle, allowing their books on what seems most any device: wish apple would do same.
Had one complaint that graphics didn't seem to show up in mac edition, not sure if this version corrects that and if previous purchases have to be downloaded again if graphics now show. I haven't spent a lot of time reading on screen, been busy, but even if the execution is not quite right not sure , the ability to send them almost effortlessly to various devices is what I give it the stars for.
I downloaded the kindle for mac. Mookzmom Oct 29 This is one of few apps which I have deliberately downloaded outside of the app store. I wanted to see if anyone can tell me if there are differences in the functionality of the non-app store version. I don't use this app much yet, as I have a large volume of rss feeds to keep up with. Can anyone tell me the differences in the two versions? Fra Oct 18 Celtic-Witch Sep 27 One of the best Sjha Aug 29 For simple reading enjoyment this app is great.
I love the ease and convenience of auto sync between Kindle on my Mac and iPhone. As far as I'm concerned this is a must have app. Joeschisa Aug 5 Can you buy the books with this program or just read them imported from kindle device? Anon-Bud Apr 8 Can someone tell me why the new version is not on the App Store? I made the mistake of getting the last version of Kindle through the App Store see below for my word on that and so do not want to do the direct download and have to again go through the process I mentioned in my earlier post.
Any help here? Professor2 Feb 17 Anon-Bud Feb 16 A word of warning, if your Kindle was originally downloaded through Amazon. For someone with only a few books, this is no big deal. Please remove the book from your device and redownload it.
I have to click and click and click and click to get it to do that? Whoever programmed it is only smart enough to display the message? That is what is called a rhetorical question. The answer is: the program is stupid. No wonder this app has two stars in the app store1. However, using it on MacOS is frustrating. Seven months ago I purchased a book on Javascript and attempted to work my way through it. With no input from me whatsoever, the pages jumped forwards or backwards by pages.
Then I would have to go back and find the page I was on. Clicking to find the page would also result in it going much further than I intended it to. Then sometimes that would go too far. When I ordered another book, this time on Python, it was the same wretched experience. I gave up on it a few times, then came back because I already paid for the book and was determined to get through it. I love Kindle and Audible and I hate to give it a bad review but on Mac, this app is garbage.
This is an impulse review so my opinion may change after awhile. I was thrilled when opening the Kindle book I bought to see how beautifully rendered the text was and the ease of navigating through it. I was about to dock a star since there was an image of a table on a page that was hard to read but found that double clicking the image brings up a larger easier-to-read version.
I was weary of buying the book digitally since I did not have a great experience with purchasing magazines in a digital format in the past through other applications, not Kindle. For the magazines, I would have to zoom in on the text in order to read it and use the scrollbar to get across the whole page. The flaw with the magazine format was presenting the left and right pages at the same time so by default it was zoomed out to fit both pages on the screen at the same time thus making the text small and blurred.
It was lacking a single page flip format like this Kindle app does for the digital book I bought. The following data may be collected and linked to your identity:. Privacy practices may vary, for example, based on the features you use or your age.
