That is odd, I would expect it to reuse the old registration with the new version. I find it hard to believe K4PC is designed to require regular reregistration.

1. Buy cheap Kindle for serial number. Used ones go for $10.
2. Don't download to PC until you are ready to read the book. Chances of Amazon going out-of-business is small.
3. Download immediately and convert to epub and delete all books from K4PC and mobis from Calibre. Not as practical if you have already accumulated 20,000 titles.
Option #1 is the most secure and reliable.

I would consider #3 to be fundamentally the goal of even intending to install the program to begin with.
You only need to import them once, best to get it over with.
New purchases should automatically queue to K4PC, old purchases will be deleted by calibre's auto-add, and the only thing different about it is we are running it on linux.
It is already a recommended method by those who've tried it, on Windows.
