There have been a fair few patches rolled out since then. But @AmazonKindle remains broken/unusable on iPad Mini (2024). Weeks ago customer support told me they are working on a fix and they would update me. No update. I wonder how many former @Comixology customers affected.
Looks like @AmazonKindle is buggered again when reading comics on iOS. Hefty page/app freezes and crashes. Even on a fairly recent device. Several years in and still a mess. If only I could download my purchased comics and read them on a third party reader. I miss @Comixology
