Haven't noticed any issues with Kindle books on other devices, though my purchases are generally limited to First Reads freebies.

On a related Audible front, I took the $4.95/month for Audible Plus deal with a sweetener of a $10 Amazon credit. After much searching, I’ve concluded that Plus is valueless to me. I have found not one book of interest that I can’t get through Hoopla. Even $4.95/month is far too expensive for books I can get on demand for nothing at all elsewhere.

No Hoopla for me, alas. I used to use it and Freading through FLP; now none of my libraries offer those services. I am getting sick of Audible and the uncertainty they create with their changes. Thank goodness for Downpour and Overdrive!
