Yes, that is a big question, especially since the new K4Mac beta only runs on Silicon Macs. If they will not be releasing the new K4Mac for Intel Macs, I suspect they will leave 1.40.1 out there for Intel Macs but provide no further updates or support.

Also, earlier versions of the beta appeared to be identical to Kindle for iPad, but the latest version is a little different.

The file directory for the beta is totally different from 1.40.1, including how it stores book data. They really are two separate apps. I have both versions running on my Mac without any problem.

I have poked around a little and could not find anything resembling registration data. Granted, my poking around skills are VERY limited. But I suspect you are right that the new K4Mac will be hard to crack.
