Kindle for Mac Fail!!! 10.6.7
Help!! Since I upgraded to Snow Leopard 10.6.7, my Kindle for Mac fails. I have uninstalled and reinstalled many times. It fails when I try to open it the first time. It goes into an "Initializing" state, stays there for a long time and then fails. Any ideas? Any Solutions?

When you uninstalled Kindle for Mac, did you also clear out the files in your Library folder?
yourusername/Library/Application Support/Kindle/ ? Also the preferences file in: yourusername/Library/Preferences/com.amazon.Kindle.plist or com.amazon.Kindle For Mac.plist |

I deleted the files reinstall, kindle for Mac launches but asks me to register again on I I I I deleted the files in Application support and the.plist file on preferences. I reinstalled. I have to' register again to Amazon and I must redownload all my collection. It IS a pain!
There IS some workaround ? The ebooks Are on my computer or they stay on a remote server ? Thank you Andrea |

Have you updated to Lion (OS X 10.7)? The version of Kindle4Mac that you can download from amazon.com won't work on Lion, you have to download the (very out-of-date) Kindle app from the Mac app store. Although you'll be missing many features, you'll at least be able to read your books.
I don't know if this is an amazon bug or a Lion bug, but I hope they get it worked out soon. |
