No more Comixology app
I think this was at least rumored for awhile now.
I checked the Kindle app and indeed you can Hide/Unhide at least some comics (those available at Comixology) now (but no such feature on Kindle, yet). read.amazon.com now supports Guided View. I did not use the Comixology app a lot, but the Kindle app lacks some Library features that Comixology app users may miss. Quote:

I noticed that the latest Kindle for PC app (version 2.2.0) now downloads comics in KFX format. I wonder if that changes anything about how comics work in that app and if it is related to the elimination of the Comixology app.

The last Kindle for Windows I used regularly was the Universal version that ran on Windows Phone/RT/Windows 8 and later, and was only available from Microsoft Store. This no longer shows up in my Microsoft Library on my ancient Windows 10 PC, where it was installed at one time. I guess I would need to download the current version from Amazon to see what it is like, since it is also not listed in Microsoft Store. I just got a cheap Windows 11 Pro system (I tried VMs but they all stink in one way or another). A fresh install features Kindle app prominently, but what it means is you are led to install Amazon App Store and then the Kindle for Android app from there, which is what I did. It seems to work well. I RDP to it from my Macs (I think I have app for iPad too), and it works great. Last edited by tomsem; 11-15-2023 at 02:10 PM. |

On MacOS Amazon has already stated that the old Kindle for Mac app, now called Kindle Classic, will no longer be updated and that the new app is basically the iOS app, mirroring the same evolution. |
