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?
The DRM on KFX files with the latest Kindle for Mac cannot be removed.

See this thread about how to avoid the KFX format with the latest Kindle for Mac. Specifically, use method 2, and make sure you just download the books using Kindle for mac, not download and open.

This should mean that you get AZW/KF8 files downloaded instead.
