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.
