Amazon has already done something really silly. They now have a new KFX format for eBooks with enhanced typesetting. I don't know if those eBooks are a different format or if they can have the DRM removed. The one test done by changing the extension to AZW3 and trying to remove the DRM failed but the test was flawed because the latest Calibre and the latest DRM removal plugin were not used. So the test was invalid.

Also, Calibre does not yet know about the new format. But an eBook with enhanced typesetting can be downloaded via USB and comes as n AZW3 version and can have the DRM removed.

KFX was found in eBooks with enhanced typesetting download to a Kindle PW2/3/Vouyager with the typesetting firmware.
