If I'm right, then the above suggestion to read via a browser might be the best option.
Yes, you are wrong. You can use KindleForPC or KindleForMAC to download and as long as it's one of the versions that allows you to stop KFX, you'll be all set. I'm was using the 1.17 version and it still works. But I have a Kindle so I can direct download.
