As we are discussing passing the book through calibre to get the book natively on the Kobo, Alf must be used to allow conversion and reading on a different device.
Also, Alf would be needed to transfer to a Kindle as well, as the DRM is device/app-specific.

The DRM on my Amazon books is account specific so I can read them on a kindle, on a PC, on a tablet app registered to me. Maybe they have changed this?
When I read Amazon books on my tablet I use the kindle app and I sideload them or download them using the content server. I like having them in calibre for organization. I also slightly prefer the content server to downloading them again, but that is just me.

Kindle to Calibre
How do I move a book from Kindle for PC to Calibre and then to Kobo Arc?

I gave a couple of methods including saying the easiest way was to re-download them from Amazon if he got them from Amazon.
Amazon still seems to let me, perfectly legally, read the same books on my tablet, my PC or on my mother's kindle which is registered to my account.
The OP did not mention DRM, so neither did I.
