They are probably still working on a solution to that. I don't know what telemetry the app sends back to Amazon but I suspect it is enough to know that forcing an update to the app running on BlueStacks would be pointless since the user already has the DRM key from the older version and the upgraded version still won't use KFX with more secure DRM. I assume that Amazon discovered early on that there were so many devices incapable of supporting KFX that they made a fallback mode instead of just having the app fail to work on those devices. The same mechanism is used in the Kindle for PC and Mac apps. Newer versions of the Kindle for Android app test the graphics capabilities of the device on which it is running (called a sniff test internally) and if the test fails KFX becomes unsupported on that device. I suspect the delay is related to why the Android app does not download KFX format when updated to a newer version on BlueStacks. I thought of a slow rollout, but I feel like it's been long enough for Amazon to cut off everyone by now. Has anybody tried the exact same Android version as their hard device? I'm still curious as to why Bluestacks continues works.
