Here are the books I'm currently mainly reading on my Kindle. It was frustratingly difficult to get a screenshot off the new Kindle Paperwhite. 2024 Kindle models don't mount on Macs as the older ones did, and you have to use an application on the Mac which is urgle. But still easier than me building an infographic of my own. Even if this one is in black and white. Shortly to start on Eerie East Anglia and The Thrie Estaitis.
It might have been possible to access the Kindle file system through the Mac's Unix-like Terminal, but I only thought of that after unplugging and putting my USB-C cable away!
But apparently even that won't work, because the new 2024 Kindles now use MTP to transfer data between computers and Kindles. And MTP isn't natively supported on newer Macs, unlike in Windows and Linux. There are work arounds, but I'm probably best using the app for those rare occasions I might want to.
EDIT: Nope, solved by installing OpenMTP on my Mac. Which is a little clunky, but much better than Amazon's new "Send to Kindle" app on the Mac. I don't need to transfer files to/from the Kindle via USB often. Copying screenshots - a new thing for me - might be just about my only regular ish use! But it will be doable with OpenMTP. Phew.
