I have researched and others say use an older Kindle App on the MAC. But since I'm on Catalina, I can't use that method. I've tried the new Kindle App, but the way the books download is not a way that I can use the DeDRM tool in Calibre.
Any help or advice someone can give?

After years of being stuck on Sierra with my ancient 2010 MacBook Pro, I recently bought a new iMac running Catalina and set about to finally get all my Kindle books into Calibre. After reading several threads here and elsewhere, I found the best option for me was to bypass downloading the Kindle for Mac app at all.
Instead, I use the "Download & Transfer via USB" option when viewing the list of books in the Manage Your Content & Devices section of the Amazon website. Once the files were downloaded to my Mac, I used the standard Add feature in Calibre to import them.
I'll refrain from discussing methods for removing DRM, as that's frowned on here, but I'm sure you can find some references if you do a forum search.
Good luck,
