But my new Basic (8th generation) uses the new format — so I had to download to USB for my old Kindle Basic. And that worked fine. I do think there is a KFX plugin (hope "KFX" is right) that allows you to do this directly, but it probably doesn't work in Linux. (I haven't really looked into it.)

Actually, the Kindle 10th gen (lowest firmware 5.11.0) has new DRM that hasn't been broken yet. Books downloaded directly to the device via wifi cannot be disinfected at all at this time even with the KFX Input plugin installed. Download & transfer via USB (azw or azw3 format) method still works, though.
Sending books from Calibre to the Kindle 10th gen works just fine (I think Kovid added support for it day 1 or 2).
