MacOS Kindle version 1.12.0 no longer seems to keep downloaded books in the My Kindle Library location, no new files are showing up there. If you are using Kindle for Mac from the Mac App Store, it has not been updated in nearly a year, and you should switch to the version downloaded directly.
The latest version of Kindle for Mac can be used on any Mac computer running OS X 10.9.5 or higher.
The latest version of Kindle for Mac, 1.23, includes the following:
- New Fonts - We’ve added six new fonts (Caecilia, Palatino, Baskerville, Helvetica, Helvetica Light, and Lucida) in the Aa (Fonts) menu.
- New Column Reading Options - You can now choose to read with one-column view, two-column view, or multi-column view.
- We’ve added a viewer for images, math equations, and footnotes – You can now enlarge and view images, mathml (mathematical markup language), and footnotes.
- Double-click images and math equations to open them in the viewer. To view and enlarge a footnote, tap the desired footnote. To close the viewer, use the exit icon in the upper right corner of the viewer window.
- Split Screen Support - You can now split your screen to read while using other applications on your Mac running Mac OS X 10.11 or above.
- Improved support for Magic Mouse gestures.
- General performance improvements.
