No longer able to read books with kindle app on Mac because it requires IOS 12 and I only have 11.7
Online chat with a 'kindle expert' said I'll need to buy a new Mac.
Is there a way around this without having to use external software?
Thanks
MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 11.7
Many of us can no longer use the Kindle app as 1) the latest version requires a new OS and 2) the old version - though it still launches - doesn't open more than a few books in our library; trying to open others brings up the error message about needing the newest Kindle.
The solution is to go to your Amazon account in a browser, then :
Manage Your Content and Devices
Digital Content
View:
Books
and all your Kindle library will be there to view, read, delete, whatever.

What year is your MacBook Pro? Also MacBook Pros don't use iOS, they run macOS. iOS is for iPhones and iPads.
If your MacBook Pro isn't a 2010 model or newer I'm afraid you can't upgrade your system to later than macOS 10.11.6.
What other apps are available to read Kindle books? That sounds like a better solution than having to get a new Mac. Especially if that's your primary use of the MBP. Have you considered an iPad?
Huge thanks Rudegar
The first link worked perfectly.
Thanks for responding Old Toad. I managed to access all books using the Amazon web browser.
I saw the other day that Amazon stated they will no longer support Kindle books on Mac.
Thank you to everyone who replied. Rudegar's suggestion of reading in the web browser has resolved the issue.
