Though if you have an eInk Kindle, as @jhowell suggested, you can use the Download and transfer via USB to avoid th KFX issue.
Thank both of you. You are right about there being no need for Kindle for PC, but I like to keep my e-books in the Amazon cloud (and the collections I created there, because unfortunately I never managed to understand how to create collections with Calibre, not to mention how to transfer them to a Kindle...), so the best way I figured was : get e-book from Amazon -> K4PC -> Calibre + DeDRM -> some Kindle + Amazon cloud (and delete original AZW3/KF8 file both from K4PC and Amazon account altogether).
But I'll look at the post mentioned by jhowell and see if I can indeed do without K4PC entirely.
