i found a prime reading comic book published jan 3rd 2023, available on all devices says the web site blurb. well it checked out OK but
when I try to download it to Kindle for Pc 1.17 I get an error message.
the message is cut off in a small pop up, and ? for help does nothing but the pop up title says
" this item is not available for t",
followed by
"PCMAC_126_delivery_error_upgrade PC"

somewhat insulting as my PC is not in need of an upgrade, just their app. !

no other info appears, but the K for PC app deresisters again when I close and re-open it.

on my paperwhite 3 is downloads and opens OK.,

then I went to my content and devices, asked for it via USb, and got a azw , much to my suprise. But added that to calibre & got locked by drm when I tried to convert it. which is what i expected. Kindleunpack plug in cant open it either.

so amazons defences are not easily bypassed.
I shall return it now, investigation complete.

( i went to prime reading on web site and sorted by most recent. after a page of not released yet the only books released this year were comic books )
