I've been playing around with freda tonight as an epub reader would do but i can't get to a logon for the Calibre server.

At least I found a RSS reader tonight for feedly. Any recommendations for a ereader app or program would be appreciated.

My copy still supports all my personal docs. Are you sure you got the real PC version? What version number do you have? Mine is 1.10.8. I just click the eBook and select Kindle as the target.

You are of course correct, but I think she might mean that it doesn't support personal docs from the Amazon cloud (as in syncing, etc.), not that you can't use it to read a personal doc locally. K4PC, K4Mac and Kindle Cloud Reader don't support the Personal Document Service.

How would I use it for my local docs? I.e my Surface has Calibre loaded on it and if I Installed Kindle for PC how would I open a kindle file (either mobi or the other file extensions) in KforPc? Thanks

I have the same version and even though I uninstalled it last night I kept the program so I can reload it again.

Every link I get in Google takes me to that page on the UK site

I think you have to search amazon from a windows7 pc to be offered the desktop version.
if you search from 8 or 10 you get the app instead

And this must be why they dropped Windows Media Center from Windows 10 - so they could use it exclusively on the X-Box and sell more hardware.

I did the same search on both W10 and a W7. The links here are from a W7 laptop

I no longer have any w7 to test with but surely amazon don't offer the metro app to PCs that cannot run it ?
I recall an older discussion whether the consensus was: what you see depends on what you use to explore their site with, though that may have changed now ?

I did see my K for PC update by itself today & that would be my 1st use after the w10 upgrade, but I am pretty sure it is still the "desktop" version. It still puts books where I expect to find them : in My docs My kindle content, so I trust that alf etc still works
in Help, I now see version 1.12.0 (40963) last updated 05/08/2015 i.e. today.
I don't have a record of the previous version number but this could be a minor w10 compatibility upgrade ?

PS from this w10PC, a google search for Kindle for PC desktop
gives me this
http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/help/cust...deId=201245960
which seems to be a download for the desktop version, still

so it is just a case of using the right search terms ?

I simply searched for Kindle for PC

Edited to say if you follow the link on it takes you to the app and I've just done that on a Kindle Fire using Firefox.

All I can say is save the installation file on this thread. It might be the last one!
