I'm actually glad to be proven wrong (that blocking the auto-update of the app wasn't possible). The link to the 55 pages of thread discussion did show a number of continuing difficulties for some users but these mostly seem to be for book formats that are somewhat out of the ordinary.
My solution was as close as I could come to what I would have done on my old Macs; lock the target folder to prevent unauthorized changes (ie, prevent Amazon from writing the updater app to that folder).
