Regarding Kindle for PC (i.e. Windows) versions,
2.7.1 is the one Amazon very much wants us to update to (so we wisely won't).
1.17.1 is kept
because it does
not support KFX.
2.4.70904 is kept because it does (but within Calibre's reach).
Similar to the 32-bit Android versions at the start of this thread.
For physical Kindles, the "best" reply to
https://www.reddit.com/r/kindle/comm...ansfer_option/ claims (for now):
Quote:
If you buy or otherwise obtain books from outside of the Kindle Store and transfer them to your Kindle device via USB (sideloading) or the Send To Kindle feature, you are not affected.

If (current) Kindles need to be online rather than on USB to receive content (and/or "phone home" about it), they are no longer an option e.g. when traveling, or for reading anything anyone anywhere might ever want censored.
