That is true, but alas when you de-register you do lose all your previous ebook downloads in the program, as you say, so not something you lightly engage in when that is a few hundred let alone thousands as in my case.
All my ebooks from Amazon are listed in Kindle For PC, the only place of mine where that is the case, and it would be ridiculous to me to give that up. Many of those ebooks get updates too.
So not a simple matter to toggle between accounts, especially if you have come across, like I have, issues over de-registering and ebook limit per devices.
And because Kindle For PC is my default device, that would need to be taken into account every time I buy an ebook from Amazon.
While calibre is great in some regards, it certainly fails in others, visual with covers being one real obvious one. Another for me certainly, is how the ebooks are organized. With Kindle For PC I can have ebooks listed in more than one collection (just pointers or shortcuts, not the actual ebook), something I have found painful to do in calibre. To those ends I have been developing a companion to calibre.
