I know I can do it through Amazon-Manage My Kindle, but the purpose of having Calibre (for me) is to have a backup of all my Amazon books in case something should happen to them on Amazon and I can retrieve them and read them on my Kindle.

Help!!

Thank you,

I answered your other post, but just in case I'll repost here...

Each download of a DRM'd Kindle book is encoded to a specific app or device (so for example your backups will only work with that specific install of K4 Mac) so to be able to transfer them to multiple devices you'd have to remove the DRM. Otherwise you'll need to download them directly to the Fire from your archives.
