I am looking at purchasing a Kindle so that I can use the download for transfer option on any Amazon ebook purchases. I use Calibre to future proof all my purchases. I own several Nooks and prefer them to Kindles for various reasons. However, there are some books which only are available at Amazon. I do purchase these and download them to my PC where I future proof them. I use the old Kindle app rather than the newer app designed for Windows 8 or 10. However, I foresee that option disappearing in the not so distant future as Amazon may redesign and/or discontinue the ability to use the original Kindle app on Windows 10.

Therefore, which Kindle would be a better purchase for my purposes? I do not necessarily want to use the kindle for reading, only for utilizing the download for transfer option at Amazon.

Thanks.
