Just out of curiosity I'm wondering how bad it is if I use the current version and try using whatever ebook it downloads; he says that the KFX it downloads doesn't convert well to EPUB. But I always clean up the formatting from downloaded Amazon books after converting them to EPUB so perhaps it's not so bad.

In any event I'm not going to bother with this book; I get lists of free Kindle books every day and my queue of books to read is growing by leaps and bounds and one less book won't kill me. I was just surprised since it's never happened before.
Read the sticky in the Calibre forum about Kindle for PC/MAC and you'll find out a lot about the different versions and the DeDRM tools working with it.
