If you go to the Bluestacks site and download the Bluestackers installer, if you have a 32-bit OS, it installs the 32-bit version. If you have a 64-bit OS, it installs the 64-bit version. What it doesn't do is let you choose. If you manually download the 32-bit "offline" installer, it will stop you and won't install that on a 64-bit OS, and direct you to the other installer. I can't say if it's changed since you tried it, or if you perhaps have 32-bit Windows installed to begin with, but if you're running 64-bit there isn't a way to "install the 32-bit version of Bluestacks", so to speak. So that advice won't assist folks stuck with that problem. Last edited by sphilip; 09-19-2024 at 06:06 PM. |

I just realized you mean when creating the virtual Android instance, this whole time I was trying to install the 32-bit version of Bluestacks, the program! Sorry.
It does seem like they've still blocked root access to the data folder though, which is a bummer. |

I know that getting a useful backup.ab is only possible on the really old Android app. (One that can have the key extracted from it.) Amazon blocked that on later versions. Accessing where the books are stored isn't an issue. Just that Amazon has now blocked new books from downloading to the old app. I haven't messed with it since that happened. At least at the moment, other much easier methods are working.

So does the Kindle for Android method still work for anyone? I.e., should I remove it as an option on the Dealing with Kindle ebooks in calibre thread?
