Hello,
Is it me, or latest Kindle for PC lost accessibility? At least with JAWS, it's impossible to read through a Braille display, as we could read before (virtual cursor, with arrow keys) you basically have speech working, it reads a page whenever you press the Tab key, a page read all at once. But if you want to stop line by line, or read in Braille, no way. It's very difficult to read a book, currently. Any solution? I can't downgrade. Or I even can read by iOS but it's not the same!

Considerations
Have you considered giving NVDA a try? I understand you are a JAWS user, but for the purpose of reading a Kindle book, it might behoove you to give NVDA a try. The learning curve is not too terribly steep, coming from JAWS, and if it works for you, then you will have your Kindle books back. 🙂
New Kindle VS legacy Kindle
Which Kindle app are you using; the new one from the Microsoft Store or the older legacy one previously available from Amazon?
I tried the new app from the Microsoft Store and the books themselves are completely inaccessible with NVDA. But navigating around the library works fine for most parts.
I hardly used Kindle so this doesn't affect me much as most of the ebooks I read are .epub files downloaded from Bookshare or transfered over from Apple Books and I primarily use Thorium.
Re: Kindle books
I am the opposite, I read Kindle books all of the time. However, I tend to use my Alexa app on my iPhone to play my Kindle e-books, which gives me a more audiobook-esque experience. 📚🤔
