This is wonderful! I had almost lost hope of being able to read my Kindle books in my RapidReader® software.
I was concerned, however, by repeated failures of all the downloads of KindleForPC-installer-1.17.44170.exe to match the hash for SHA-256 until I realized that there was a space in the string between ...5176 and 2C12... Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! |

Does this still work on Windows 10?
ren %localappdata%\Amazon\Kindle\application\renderer-test.exe renderer-test.xxx When I run the above command in terminal it says it cannot rename because it doesn't exist. Following the next suggestion for finding the name location I can't even find a listing for my newly installed version of Kindle for PC under program files even though it's installed and launches. Any help appreciated. |

It won't be under "Program Files" - that's for 64-bit applications. Look under "Program Files (x86)", which is where 32-bit applications live.

If you have the Kindle4PC icon on your Windows Desktop you can right-click it and select the 'Open file location' menu item. That will open File Explorer at the directory containing the main Kindle.exe program. renderer-test.exe is in the same directory. You should then be able to just change the filename manually.

Find renderer-test.exe and select it. Right-click it, select the 'Rename' option and overtype with a new name of your choice. Your original post suggests renaming to renderer-test.xxx |

So where was it, if not in either “Program Files” or “Program Files (x86)”?

C:\Users\David\AppData\Local\Amazon\Kindle\application\Kindle.exe And as a minor nit, for Windows, it's a command shell window or console window. Terminal is a Unix/Linux term. Last edited by DNSB; 11-28-2017 at 12:01 AM. |

Personally, I prefer 1.17 since 1.21.1 places each ebook in a separate directory which makes it a bit of a pain to import more than one book at a time.
