The response there was that AZW6 files are not supported in Calibre (and to try re-downloading the book from Manage Your Content and Devices). Since I only seem to be able to get an AZW6, am I SOL?
I suspect that you didn't properly understand and follow Kovid's advice in the thread that you linked.

I have several purchased books from Amazon that download to my PW2 as azw6 files, but if I use the Manage Your Content and Devices page and select the Download & transfer via USB option for those books it downloads an azw3 file to my PC, which imports correctly into calibre.
