If the program updates to an undesired version then run it and uncheck the setting to automatically install updates under
Tools->Options->General and save preferences before uninstalling.
Once the desired Kindle version has been reinstalled go to the setting to automatically install updates, check and then uncheck it again, and save preferences.
When running the app if a dialog pops up indicating that a newer version is available chose the option to "skip this version".
The re-installation process may need to be repeated multiple times before the desired version will stick.

This doesn't seem to work anymore: this morning, when I opened Kindle installed automatically 1.29.0 (58059), even though I've been on 1.24.511068 with the automatic updates unchecked since September 2019 with no problem: I'd always been asked before.
I'll apply your procedure again, and cross my fingers that it doesn't happen again and again.
