"Instead you need to do what Deskisamess proposed here. On amazon.com go to the "Manage Your Content and Devices" page under your account, select that book, and choose the option to "Download & transfer via USB"

this is the specific test that needs to be applied, for that specific title, without the results of that test we are all just speculating

out of curiosity I checked a site that specializes in "downloads" for e-books and its not there, which suggests the DRM is working as intended and preventing piracy (or maybe its just not that popular? )

my prediction is that amazon will have flagged it to not allow an AZW4 option

exploring some more- on the amazon page, for free sample of that book there is a transfer via computer option. That takes me to a page what asks which of my various devices I plan to transfer it to, so clearly they are going to apply device specific DRM to what they send me, but my non-amazon android tablets are greyed out. I can only have it prepared for an old HDX which amazon have not realized I've sold already
