Amazon Discontinues Kindle for PC, Boosts DRM Security

Amazon is consolidating Kindle app distribution through proprietary app stores to strengthen DRM protection against piracy and unauthorized copying. This shift from legacy desktop distribution to store-based apps signals Amazon's prioritization of copyright enforcement, following Apple's earlier move with Kindle for Mac. Users accustomed to older versions' flexibility will face tighter restrictions as Amazon shifts the entire ecosystem toward its controlled, store-based model.
