Description
Brief description of your issue
The version winget reports for Amazon Kindle has nothing to do with the version of the application.
Steps to reproduce
❯ winget upgrade
Name Id Version Available Source
-----------------------------------------------------------
Amazon Kindle Amazon.Kindle 1.33.0.62002 2.0.1.70350 winget
1 upgrades available.
1 package(s) have version numbers that cannot be determined. Use --include-unknown to see all results.
❯ winget upgrade Amazon.Kindle
No applicable upgrade found.
A newer package version is available in a configured source, but it does not apply to your system or requirements.
(Side note: "1 upgrades", boo...)
Apps -> Installed Apps shows
Kindle shows
By the way, whatever winget says, I have successfully installed the new version downloaded manually:
And now
❯ winget upgrade
Name Id Version Available Source
-----------------------------------------------------------
Amazon Kindle Amazon.Kindle 1.33.0.62002 2.0.1.70350 winget
1 upgrades available.
1 package(s) have version numbers that cannot be determined. Use --include-unknown to see all results.
What?
Expected behavior
I expect the version reported by winget to correspond to what is installed.
Actual behavior
Where does 62002 come from?

Research direction
Start by reproducing the reported winget upgrade and winget upgrade Amazon.Kindle results using the supplied Amazon.Kindle data and Windows environment details. Trace where the installed and available versions are obtained and compared. Done means the reported version matches the installed Kindle version and upgrade detection no longer offers an inapplicable update.
