I would not do this but It makes a person think about not paying for books.

Indeed. It's neither justification nor excuse but the argument "you wouldn't steal a paper book" does not address the issue that having bought a paper book one's ownership of it is far more stable than is true of ebooks.

I too, had this same incident happen....KfPC 1.17 working fine for over a year now, with update option unchecked. (BTW, I'm on Win 7, and so no longer get Win sys updates).
A weeks or so ago, I had the unexpected KfPC update, and spent some time: - uninstalling, reinstalling KfPC 1.17, and immediate unapproved upgrade - uninstalling again, cleaning registry, reinstalling KfPC 1.17, and immediate unapproved update - uninstalling again, cleaning registry, deleting Kindle related program and content folders, reinstalling KfPC 1.17, and immediate unapproved update ... I finally managed to eliminate the behavior by: - uninstalling again, cleaning registry, deleting Kindle related program and content folders, Removing all related registered Kindle devices on Amazon site, reinstalling KfPC 1.17, with no further misbehavior. Since I have standardized my ebook reading (obtaining content from from a variety of sources) using a different reader application and on a different Android device than a Kindle, this is EXACTLY why I choose to remain on KfPC 1.17. Thought my experiences might shed some additional light on potential workarounds. |

Why do we have another thread on the exact same topic? They should be merged with this one since this one has a better thread title.

I'll still try out the methods in the other thread as it will help cut down on a step. |

I got lucky. I had purchased the new Bujold book about Penric & Desdemona a couple of days ago & it was able to do the Calibre bit.
After reading the thread this time I decided to check the kindle for pc a short while ago & found that I also got "updated" to 1.30 & the time listed was when the k3pc was opened for checking.......whewwwwwww. Did the delete on the 'my contents' folder BUT I had relocated my kindle library to another partition on a different disk drive. And since I made it on time, the deletion of the contents in the Documents folder was not needed nor a redownload required as there was nothing with the new file formats. Looks like there is a need to check every so often & to checking when buying any books. |

What about us folks that run "Kindle for PC, under WINE, on Linux"??? And what about the "Kindle for PC, in a Virtual Machine, on a Blade server" group? Can't leave them out either. There's gotta be "Kindle for DOS" and "Kindle for mainframes with punch cards and line printers" groups out there somewhere too. It just ain't fair, I tell 'ya. Us non-Windows users are always getting left out of the brotherhood... |

As long as the Kindle 3 is still supported at least we can still download books from the Amazon webpage.

gandoe: You mention removing "(r)emoving all related registered Kindle devices on Amazon site." What were the Kindle devices? Did you later restore them and did things remain OK? Thanks.
