Where can I download Kindle Classic for Mac version 1.40.3+ that works? Amazon now just sends you to the App Store, and it seems it's no longer available.

Kindle for Mac 1.40.1 still works.

Try googling Kindle for Mac 1.40.1 and you'll get a bunch of software download sites. I have no idea which ones are legit or safe, so choose your download with care.

I have a question about graphics size.

When you download in KFX using Kindle for PC and the eBook is supposed to have hi-resolution graphics, does the KFX format have the correct size graphics?

(That is a difficult question to answer. The following is correct in most cases but I have seen odd exceptions in some specific books.)

Amazon delivers books with varying graphics quality depending on the platform and app version that downloaded it.

The latest version of Kindle for PC will deliver KFX format books with the highest quality graphics that Amazon makes available, on par with the iOS/Mac and Android apps.

Next best image quality can be obtained with a KF8 (AZW3) format book along with an HD image container file (AZW6) obtained from the Kindle for PC or Android app.

A bit worse is a standalone KF8 file obtained from one of those apps or by using the Download & Transfer function of Amazon's web site.

Worst of all is the image quality in books downloaded by Kindle devices. Those are typically black and white with low resolution.

I can confirm that the above combination works.
