Kindle for Mac

Kindle failing with Big Sur.

Kindle will launch on MacBook Air but after selecting a Kindle book, it quits after 10 seconds or less. Worked fine prior to the new software install.

kindle app crashes every time opened on os x11.1 (Catalina) Does anyone know of a fix? I downloaded the kindle app again and installed it. No help. Interestingly every time I open a book in the app and I reopen after the inevitable crash there is a new blank book with nothing in it and nothing on the cover. I am at the point where I am not going to even try to use the app any more on my mac.

Kindle doesn't work since 12.3.1 I've noticed that Amazon Kindle no longer loads my books properly since Monterey 12.3.1 and newer. It works OK on my Macs with 12.0.1, but doesn't work on those that I've upgraded to 12.3.1 and 12.4.

App Store fails to download Kindle app I just bought a new Mac Mini with 13.2.1 Ventura preinstalled. The existing Amazon Kindle app I had, which migrated over, does not work. So I went to the App Store and tried to download the current version, 1.40.1. The square dot appears and the circle fills for several seconds, then circling arrows appear for several seconds--exactly as if it were downloading and installing. Finally, the message appears: Unable to Download App "Kindle" could not be installed. Please try again later. I have "tried again later" numerous times but I don't believe it is going to work. Ideas? Anyone else seen this? The old version is an Intel app, but Rosetta 2 is installed and so far every other Intel-based apps I have works fine.

Thanks. I downloaded a fresh copy from Amazon and the problem appears to be resolved.

That's something you get from Amazon, correct?
