You choose the device for which you want it encrypted, ie, the device who's serial number you put in the plugin, but you do not actually need the device involved at all.
You simply download the file and copy it to Calibre rather than to the Kindle.
I have two vaguely relevant points to make in this thread:
1. Even if the concerns in the OP pan out and the current maintainers can no longer maintain the current tools, there are other developers with other skill sets who will find other ways around it. We will have short hiatus at most. Even if the current fundamental methodologies are rendered impractical for the long haul, as others have implied, machine vision and related technologies are advancing so fast, other totally different methods around this nonsense will soon be practical. I would not be surprised if in the near future we will be able to flip a book in front of a cell phone camera and have a well-formatted ePub pop out.
2. Reminder that the Library of Congress DCMA rule-making cycle begins in October, and they will give opportunity for the public to comment on what exemptions the Librarian should create. Make sure you let it be known that we want protection for this sort of space- and format- shifting.
