ignoreVersion
I came across information stating that the next version, specified as "ignoreVersion" in the registry path HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Amazon\Kindle\User Settings, will be an automatically updated version. This information was posted on a Japanese bulletin board, but I'm not entirely convinced of its reliability.
Currently, after performing a system restore on Windows, I'm using ver. 2.1.0. The value in my registry now shows "709804" (version 2.4.0). Does anyone have knowledge about the purpose or significance of the "ignoreVersion" setting? |

Optional updates generate a popup message allowing the user a choice to install or not. If the user chooses not to install then the build version number of the skipped update is saved in the registry so that the user will not be asked again unless a newer update becomes available. I will add, in my experience optional updates are rare and mandatory updates are common. Last edited by jhowell; 09-02-2024 at 08:40 AM. |

Today, on a whim, I decided it was time to download the books on a moribund Amazon account, a task that’s been hanging for literally years. I installed Kindle for PC 2.3xxx and it took me a couple of stabs to get my ducks in a row, but mission accomplished. In the interim, Amazon asked me if I wanted to upgrade to 2.5. No. But I suppose it’ll happen, willy-nilly. So of course now I’m wondering if it’s worth skimming the cream of my Amazon account while I can…. |
