It would depend on the plugins installed on Calibre. I've no personal experience with books that would only work on a Fire tablet. I've had several Fires over the years, but never read on them much.

The op having a Fire tablet is what made it possible to choose the Download and Transfer method, even though they did not want the book on that Fire. You only get that option at Content and Devices IF you have a device that can accept the resulting downloaded file. Once the file is on the computer, it's easy, with the right knowledge, to free it from the drm.
