I have unchecked the ‘automatic update’ box, but this morning it still updated without my permission. I use the Kindle for PC app to download books I buy so I can back them up. Deal with Kindle Update to 1.30 Automatically What if I’ve already installed the latest version of Kindle for PC/Mac, let’s say kindle for PC 1.30.
As for ebook user, there are slight differences between kindle for PC 1.24 and the latest kindle version (kindle 1.28 or 1.30) that you can just ignore. Why? Because from kindle 1.25, kindle books are not able to be cracked because of the harden KFX2 DRM.
If you are still using kindle 1.24 to download kindle books, lucky for you.
