Hi All,

Unfortunately not as brilliant as ownedbycats, but here is what I was able to do

On Windows 11 (22621)
1. Control Panel > Programs and Features > Turn Windows features on or off, then Enable Virtual Machine Platform and Windows Hypervisor Platform
2. Install Microsoft Store, Install Amazon Appstore (installs Windows Subsystem for Android)
3. Downloaded Acquire SDK Platform Tools (r34.0.0) to get adb.exe (Android Debug Bridge) extracted to a directory d:\platform
4. Downloaded older version of Kindle for Android (4.16.0.75) to the same directory
5. In \Application then Windows Subsystem for Android Settings turn Developer Mode on, and click Files on as well
6. Then in PowerShell (as Admin) connected adp to virtual machine ".\adb connect 127.0.0.1:58526" reported
* daemon not running; starting now at tcp:5037
* daemon started successfully
failed to authenticate to 127.0.0.1:58526
(ignored than last error in Android Setting > Developer now shows ADB can be connected on 127.0.0.1:58526)
7. And installed KfA ".\adb install ..\..\com.amazon.kindle-4.16.0.75-1145045067-minAPI16.apk"
8. Able to find Amazon Kindle in \Applications, login to Amazon, and download a book
9. Finally back PS tried to extract backup ".\adb backup com.amazon.kindle" and get report
WARNING: adb backup is deprecated and may be removed in a future release
Now unlock your device and confirm the backup operation...
And get a 0 byte backup.ab file

So I kind of read the last line like it's expecting a confirmation on the Android device … but no window pops up to allow me to confirm?? Do I need to install a "phone" app to unlock or is there another way?

Any hints?
