Amazon's DRM is device-specific, not account-specific, so a book can only be read on the specific device it's been encrypted for.

I was unable to find out how to back up using the https://calibre-ebook.com link you provided. Come to think of it, I'm sure I've tried in the past but gave up after repeated attempts proved unsuccessful.

You don't "back up" using Calibre. You use Calibre as your ebook library, and re-send your books to your new device from Calibre when you get a different reading device. Presumably (hopefully?) you are backing up all your books already. Import them into Calibre from wherever it is that you're storing them.
