No need to connect the Kindle. Even though you are telling Amazon that you are downloading the file with the intent to copy it to your Kindle via USB, you do not actually need to do that. Just add the downloaded file to calibre instead.

Are you sure that files are being downloaded from Amazon's website in KFX format? If so that is a major and important change!

Can anyone else confirm this behavior? It is not working that way for me.
