While that would be great, I think that it is unlikely to happen. Kindle for PC and Kindle for Mac have feature parity and appear to share the same code base. I think that is likely to continue since Amazon has little reason to put resources into new development on those declining platforms, even if it is just a port from iOS.

Amazon recently updated the Kindle Previewer for Mac to be 64-bit and they did it by just recompiling the existing software. That is another program that works the same on both PC and Mac and will apparently continue to do so.
