I got the downloaded temp file for the 1.31 update on my Mac today and the annoying pop-up. I previously deleted the Updates folder in my Kindle app, and replaced it with an empty text file named 'Updates' which blocked the updates. Despite telling Kindle to 'skip this version', the temp_%1%2 file still downloads and I keep getting the pop-up, and on one occasion it created a new updates folder containing the dmg. Does anyone know a way to block changes in the Kindle folder (preferably blocking the temp_%1%2 file from downloading or creating the empty update folder and making it read only)?

I'm currently running High Sierra 10.13.6 (I still haven't reinstalled Mojave).
