Thanks! Saved me a lot of reading.
I've tried the batch file in that post and seems to be working okay so far.
For everyone's info,
that bit says as follows:
"The Kindle app can be aggressive about updating itself to the latest version. Even after the option to automatically install updates is deselected the software sometimes will update itself unexpectedly.
To block automatic updates under Windows locate the "updates" folder within your Kindle for PC installation and replace it with a file of the same name. The attached batch file ("disable k4pc download.bat") will perform that process automatically as long as Kindle for PC has been installed for single user use. After running this file Kindle for PC will still try to download the new update each time it is restarted, but it will be unable to do so.
When running the app if a dialog pops up indicating that a newer version is available always choose the option to "skip this version"."
