Mar 21, 2016 - Mystery Kindle update will block readers from books after Wednesday. Readers will be unable to download their purchased books or buy new. Jun 25, 2017 - Im looking for a way to prevent Amazon from automatically updating it. Can someone give me a solution other than keeping it on airplane?

Pfunk4billion, Infuriating I’ve used Kindle for years and I have always loved it.

However, using it on MacOS is frustrating. Seven months ago I purchased a book on Javascript and attempted to work my way through it. With no input from me whatsoever, the pages jumped forwards or backwards by 2-8 pages. I didn’t click anything, I didn’t hit any keys. Then I would have to go back and find the page I was on. Clicking to find the page would also result in it going much further than I intended it to. So then I’d have to go back the other way.

Then sometimes that would go too far. Then I’d get it right and halfway through the page it would start doing it again. Unfortunately, I forgot about that experience and, being busy with work, didn’t have time for Kindle until recently. When I ordered another book, this time on Python, it was the same wretched experience. I gave up on it a few times, then came back because I already paid for the book and was determined to get through it. Then I’d give up again.

Some applications (especially installers) don’t deal with permissions as carefully as they should and can alter the proper permissions settings of various files and folders. User errors can also generate a lot of issues (especially when switching back and forth from MacOS 9 – which doesn’t “care” about permissions – to OS X, and when moving files around in OS 9). Buy word for mac on disc.

It is infuriating to try to learn something while your app can’t stay on the intended page and 2/3 of your learning time is getting annoyed and fighting the program just to keep the page. I hate to buy the books twice because I obviously can only do this with the hard copy now (with the added inconvenience of not having the reference on the screen next to what I’m working on). I love Kindle and Audible and I hate to give it a bad review but on Mac, this app is garbage.
