A second possible solution is to use 1.19 or later, but disable KFX by renaming or disabling a necessary component of the application. This may or may not work on versions after 1.20. In a command window, enter the following commands when Kindle for PC/Mac is not running:
####Windows
ren %localappdata%\Amazon\Kindle\application\renderer-test.exe renderer-test.xxx
####Macintosh
chmod -x /Applications/Kindle.app/Contents/MacOS/renderer-test
After restarting the Kindle program any books previously downloaded in KFX format will no longer open. You will need to remove them from your device and re-download them. All future downloads will use the older Kindle formats instead of KFX although they will continue to be placed in one individual subdirectory per book.
