K4PC won't even run with 12,000 books. Mine started crashing at 900 before I lost access whenK4PC deregistered itself years ago. I have since then use the method I use now. I keep my library in Calibre and on the Cloud.
This is what I learned after my recent call to Amazon CS. Don't rely on K4PC. It's buggy. It crashes. It doesn't always sync properly. Books go missing. If it wasn't the only way I can receive my Kindle books, I would never use it. And when Amazon discontinues a previous version forcing a new install, it is a major headache. I have to manually download each title by groups of ten and re-add them to Calibre.
