In the first post to this discussion:

(Is currently unclear whether or not this method will work with Kindle for Mac version 1.20.2.)

I can confirm that this method works with "El Capitan".
sudo chmod -x /Applications/Kindle.app/Contents/MacOS/renderer-test

Terminal asks for the Mac's admin password. When you type this into Terminal it remains invisible (nothing happens) but press Return and the command will do the biz.

You might like to update your initial post to include this information.

Many, many thanks for this!
I tried this workaround and I was prompted to enter my password in terminal, which I did, but then nothing happened. When you say "biz" do you mean terminal will output text after the command and password are entered?

I'm running Sierra. Can anyone confirm if sudo chmod -x /Applications/Kindle.app/Contents/MacOS/renderer-test works with Sierra?

Thanks
