Oh...so I learn that I need an older version of the kindle pc app. So I uninstall, download that one, and set it to not automatically update.
And I liberate 3 more books that I am soon to read.
And....I argue a bit with someone here who disputes my “fidgety” description.
Well...@$&($)$...if that kindle app didn’t self update just yesterday....despite my having unchecked the auto update setting.
So BACK I go and uninstall the new and reinstall the old and reset it to not auto update. And while I have that old version installed, I downloaded all 328 books from my kindle library. One at a time as there was no “download all”.
So at least Imhave them downloaded. Ran the metadata download for all of them last night. Will export them all to ePub tonight. And try not to wait so long in the future to do this to any further purchases.
Like I said...fidgety.

I've had Kindle for PC 1.17(1.16?) installed on my old laptop, my desktop and my Surface and none of them has ever updated. I dunno. I must be one of the luckiest men on Earth.

That is true. Amazon could shut down the old Kindle for PC at any time. They could prevent users from downloading books altogether. Or things could continue as they have. The future is unknowable.
In the mean time, I've been able to use the store I prefer with the devices I prefer, for years. No fidgeting for me
