"Kindle Classic" for Mac is now at version 1.40.3. The release notes for this new version simply say: "This app will no longer receive updates after October 31, 2023. A new and improved Kindle for Mac with enhanced book reading experience and library management is now available to download from the Mac App Store."
There do not appear to be indications that Kindle Classic for Mac is going to be disabled, just that it will no longer receive updates.
I still have 1.40.1 (which I previously downloaded from Amazon's website, not the App Store) running on my Mac alongside the new Kindle for Mac (downloaded from the App Store). The tools still work on 1.40.1 and there are no pop-ups asking if I want to upgrade to 1.40.2 or 1.40.3 or suggesting I switch to the new Kindle for Mac. The two apps appear to function totally independently of each other. (I cannot say with certainty that the same is true for the Mac App Store version of Kindle Classic 1.40.x.)
