For a short while there was a parity between Windows and Mac in terms of Kindle app support. The latest Kindle for iOS now runs on newer Macs and the latest Kindle for Android runs on Windows 11. That seemed to be the direction for the future.

The old Kindle for Mac app (now called Kindle Classic) is deprecated and will supposedly receive no further updates. I felt that the Kindle for PC app was on track to meet the same fate once support for Windows 10 ended. But now this change breathes new life into the old PC app.

I wonder how long Amazon has been anticipating the demise of WSA. There have been several updates to Kindle for PC in the past half year and I thought that was odd given that it has received very little attention for years. Now it makes more sense.
