I don't know about new downloads, but install any old version and it will offer to update itself to 1.9.1 (or at least, all mine have).

I don't really care that much, but I'm just not buying the "programmer error" part. I think they purposely made it harder to view non-Amazon content and way too many people screamed "foul!" So they back-pedaled. |

Hey, why let facts get in the way of a good conspiracy theory, right?

Hm, I just decided to dl and update K4PC and got 1.8.3 too. It's actually enough of an improvement from 1.4.1 that I think I'll just leave it there for a while unless there is some reason not to?
Ah, I see it has been explained. |

I'm actually not putting much stock in the "version 1.9.1 update was yanked by Amazon" report that was given in that link up-thread. There have been many claims that v1.9.1 has been downloaded since then, and I myself got prompted yesterday by the K4PC app to update to 1.9.1 (which clearly indicates it supports KF8). Plus I've never found any corroborating evidence for that report.
I'm not exactly sure why some people are still getting v1.8.3 instead of 1.9.1—I suspect they're just rolling the update out extra slowly for some reason. But the fact that I just updated to 1.9.1 (via the normal "check for updates" feature of the app) is clearly in direct contradiction with any reports that the 1.9.1 version was "canceled" by Amazon.

I just downloaded Kindle4PC from the American Amazon site and it was still version 1.8.3. Is it possible that 1.9.1 is only for the British site?
I only use Amazon purchased books. Maybe 1.9.1 is only being released to those who Amazon detected with non-Amazon sold books on their PC's. Remember, Amazon has cookies on everyone's PC and knows which books we have there, Last edited by sirmaru; 03-11-2012 at 12:23 PM. |

No they don't. People have endlessly analysed the data traffic between a Kindle and Amazon; Amazon do NOT know what books you have on your device. This kind of "misinformation" really isn't helpful to anyone.

Why is there a problem getting 1.9.1?
