A link to the Your Books page also appears when you go to the Amazon web page of any book you have purchased. Am I still the only one who can see this?

... The latest changes to the apps have eliminated Discover panel and replaced with Shorts, another attempt to engage users in Kindle Vella (it's not working on me).
Interestingly, my Kindle for iOS app still has a Discover panel.

It occurred to me today that the Your Books page may be part of Amazon's plan to discontinue Kindle for Mac/PC. jhowell had found a notice that Kindle for Mac was being replaced by the Kindle for iOS app, which is expected to run on the newer M1/M2 Macs. I had thought it weird to cut off earlier Macs, but now I'm wondering if that is indeed the plan — discontinue Kindle for Mac, transition M1/M2 Macs to Kindle for iOS, and older Macs will be pointed to the Your Books page, which links to Kindle Cloud Reader.

Then do the same thing with Kindle for PC in a couple years — have Windows 11 users run the Kindle for Android app and earlier Windows users are pointed to the Your Books page.

All speculation, of course
