If you have a Mac with Time Machine running (or, heck, if you make regular backups and have for more than a year or two, regardless of your system), you can simply pop back a bit and retrieve an older version of Kindle.

I renamed the recent one 'Kindle too new' just in case something went wrong, retrieved the older version of the app, filed it in Applications next to the new one, and voila. It still has to be converted to epub in Calibre, of course.

Since I am perfectly happy to abide by copyright rules (writers don't make enough money as it is) but have this strange and radical opinion that I ought to be able to use the app of my choice to *read* my books, I appreciate this thread and am glad I found a quick and easy solution.
