About this tag
The Kindle for PC tag covers Amazon's legacy desktop e-reader application for Windows and its scheduled shutdown on June 30, 2026. Discussions focus on the transition to a new Microsoft Store Kindle app for Windows, which is Windows 11-only and introduces stricter DRM. Users report confusion as Amazon's storefronts still link to the old app. Topics include DRM locks, ebook ownership, compatibility for Windows 10 users, and implications for education, accessibility, and IT management. The shift reflects broader trends toward controlled app ecosystems.
