That's what I thought.
So I was quite surprised when it updated on me.
I put it down to that one ebook that required the update, because there was certainly a checked checkbox afterward, when I well remember de-selecting it a long time back.

Or perhaps, when I did an update manually at some point, the setting was changed and I never realized it. Not that I can specifically recall doing an update that way. I have been getting ebooks in folders for a while though, so I may have. I do recall getting asked to update every time I started the program there for a while. Knowing me, I may have gotten tired of the query, and eventually just allowed it.

The only other thing I can think of, is that after double-clicking the Kindle app icon on my desktop, and seemingly getting no response, I double-clicked it again. At that point, it advised it was updating ... which it may have been doing all along (damn how I hate it when programmers don't give enough feedback in their programs). I seem to recall that happened to me once before too. So maybe a second default instance was started.

But who knows, perhaps I have wandered into another dimension ... or senility is finally catching up with me ... early onset or something. Personally i think the whole world's gone crazy ... but that's another story.
