Just sign in at the Amazon web site, go to the "Manage my Content and Devices" section, and download your books to the landlord's computer "for transfer via USB". Then plug in your PW and copy the downloaded books into the Documents folder.

That sounds too easy. For DRM books, do you need to select which of your registered devices those books will be tranfered to? I have not done that, but it seems logical.
The original question was "kindle to kindle" (which occupied my thoughts in a literal way), not using the landlords computer. I am used to dealing with things at the "bits and bytes" level, as local as possible, from the bottom up. I spend more time at github than amazon. But indeed, your suggested top-down approach certainly makes life easier if he can use his landlord's Mac as you described.
Using Calibre and AA require downloading it and its dependencies, so just downloading the books using this amazon feature (of which I was not previously aware) makes much more sense, and that will be my new recommendation in cases like this.
