Amazon is discontinuing the Kindle for PC application on June 30, 2026. A new app will be available exclusively for Windows 11 users via the Microsoft Store. The company is phasing out the older Kindle for PC software, which has seen minimal development. The new app aims to enhance security and control over the Kindle ecosystem. This move aligns with Amazon's strategy to protect e-books from piracy, similar to changes made for Mac users. Older Windows versions will not be supported by the new app.
