Why downgrade kindle for pc/mac to older version? As amazon has released its new Kindle for PC/MAC version 1.25, its DRM scheme is much tougher than ever before. Kindle books downloaded via Kindle for PC/MAC 1.25 (or higher version) will be encrypted with the new kindle kfx DRM, namely Kindle KFX 2. Currently there is not any software around the world can remove DRM from Kindle books downloaded via Kindle for PC/MAC 1.25 or even higher version. As every software is not perfect, we believe that we can find the direct way to crack kindle new kfx DRM sooner or later. For readers who are reading this article, we have provided the temporary solution to bypass the kindle kfx 2 which is downgrading kindle for PC/Mac to older version. In this way, you can get the older kindle kfx books and find many tools on the market to decrypt these kindle books and convert them to any format as you like.
The only way to resume being able to convert downloaded Kindle content is to uninstall Kindle for PC, then reinstall Kindle for PC version 1.17, currently accessible via (or for the OS X version). Once you have, go to the Tools menu, then Options, then General and uncheck the box to install updates automatically—and then just don’t update. However, they are still abit expensive and a lot of users can't afford it. That's why we can use Amazon Kindle for PC, a program that let us read the eBooks we buy for the Amazon Kindle device even if we don't own it. The program synchronizes with your Amazon account. If the book is from Kindle for PC or Kindle for Mac (version 1.17 or older) and you think you are doing everything right, and you are getting this message, it is possible that the files containing the encryption key aren’t quite in the format the tools expect.

Kindle App For Mac
After a successful install, the application will open, but part of it will crash, resulting in this error. Installing Visual Studio 13's Visual C++ Redistributable does not seem to solve the problem.
Anyway, you can close this error box, and continue using the application, which ranges from 'it's working!' to 'Wat?' You see, there are some books which, when you attempt to download them, seem to take forever to transfer over..and even at 100%, they don't appear in your Downloaded Library area. Closing the app, and reopening it does not make these 100% downloaded but not officially counted books appear as part of your library, but instead makes it treat your book like an unsaved download (making all that progress disappear into the void); fun times. Oh, and it's not all books, just some of them -> in my case, one example is the 'Compendium Maleficarum.'
Test Platform: Linux Mint 18, Toshiba Satellite w/ i7, 16GB RAM, (and so on-in other words, all the fruit, or a typical developer's laptop)
