Amazon will discontinue Kindle for PC on June 30, 2026, and the app will cease to function.
A new Kindle for PC app is being developed, compatible only with Windows 11 and available solely via the Microsoft Store.
Kindle for PC has been used by many to download books and strip DRM, leading to ongoing conflicts between Amazon and pirates.
Native apps from stores like Microsoft Store are harder to hack, as seen with previous Windows and Mac app transitions.
Amazon is tightening control over Kindle apps and e-readers, possibly to curb e-book piracy, with motives unclear.
