slight misunderstanding

Dear Odamizu,

Already a while ago I took very much to heart your advice
[QUOTE=odamizu;3819708]If you are updating to macOS Catalina, it is best to establish a working setup with 1.25+ BEFORE updating to Catalina.
/QUOTE]
so I am still using my old MacBookPro running macOS 10.14.6

I want to start the migration only when all the preliminary preparations are in place. This might be good news: you assumed, that the migration to the new MacBookPro (+Catalina) has already happened. This is, (I presume, happily) not the case.

I have used Kindle for Mac 1.17.1 for a long time now, (thanks to Laura's guidance), together with always the latest Calibre, so for quite some time Calibre 4. All works perfectly fine in my old macOS 10.14.6 computer.

Thank you for recommending me not to delete any Kindle or Calibre folders in the old computer.

Should I already start with the migration from the old Mojave computer to the new Catalina computer, assuming that Kindle 1.17.1 will not update automatically anyway?
Should I then merely run
Code:
sudo chmod -x /Applications/Kindle.app/Contents/MacOS/renderer-test
in the new Catalina MacBookPro, and only after that update to the latest Kindle for Mac 1.28 ?
Would that be all?

Will I have do to in the future the same as I have done in the past, to add books into Calibre? That is:
  1. Buy in an Amazon website any books for macOS-Kindle;
  2. Open macOS-Kindle; (now, version 1.28)
  3. File → Download in macOS-Kindle all new books, one-by-one;
  4. Quit macOS-Kindle;
  5. Open Calibre;
  6. Add all new books (if they have not been already synchronised into it)

Many thanks for your help until now.
