Today I got it working again for Kindle V1.9.2 (38421).

An old version of Kindle did work but I let it "get away" from me and so I just didn't use it on the Mac for 8 months.

Since Lion and probably even on Snow Leopard, my Kindle app wouldn't work when installed from Amazon or via the App Store.

Reading through this thread, I was able to discover the root cause, at least for my install of the Kindle. I think the problem originates with the programmers' or publishers' concern about DRM and copying files.

I use free Tinker Tool software that lets system and hidden files be visible when I want them to be. I don't really know UNIX, so outside of Terminal you can access this hidden folder by choosing Finder>Go>Go To Folder and typing the path, then right clicking on the folder when it appears. Then you shouldn't have any problems launching the Kindle app, even from aliases. Adjust permissions as you like for other users of the computer, but leave the padlock unlocked. Click the padlock at the lower right of the window that opens, then type your administrator password. Then I right-clicked and selected Get Info on the folder. What I ended up doing was accessing ~/Library/Application Support/Kindle/My Kindle Content (which is a system/hidden file). Someone at Amazon doesn't understand the Lion permissions structure (I don't either, I guess). It's when it's moved or aliased that it won't launch. I tested it by downloading and launching the app directly from the Kindle disk img without moving it, and it opened without a problem.

Interestingly enough, I had an older version of Kindle for PC installed on a Windows 7 圆4 system and it was working fine. Older versions of Kindle for PC can be found here: If you also see a folder named Kindle, delete that as well. What seems to have worked was to uninstall Kindle for PC and then reinstall not the latest version but an older version.Īfter a restart, Kindle for PC should not be running, so restart your computer and then uninstall Kindle for PC.Īfter uninstalling Kindle for PC, click start, type the following in the Search box, and press Enterĭelete the Kindle For PC folder. This is an Amazon/Kindle problem rather than a Windows problem, but from what I've seen, Amazon tech support may not be very helpful in this situation.Īccording to this thread from last November, the then-current version of Kindle for PC exhibited the same symptoms you are reporting.
