Does anyone know how to stop Kindle for PC from stop updating itself?
I installed Amazon for PC version 1.17 on new install of 2h22. Every time I open kindle for pc, kindle updates.
I want to stay on version 1.17.
Does anyone know how I can install 1.17 and not have it update?

thanks

Click to expand...
Install Version 1.17
Disconnect from Internet (stops program from updating at first start up)
Open the program
Go to Tools > Options > General
Untick "Automatically install updates"
Done :-)

I have tried that except I was connected to the internet. By default, the automatically install updates is unticked.

I will try your suggestion in AM.

thanks for the idea.

Setting a firewall is an option but I am going to pass as I have over 1300 items in library with items added weekly. I can't create a firewall rule and download items from the Amazon store.

Thanks for the idea.
