Thanks guys. I got my Kindle USB downloads to work again, per your advice. This issue had been driving me crazy.

Here is a summary of the steps, for the latest W10 64 bit, using Chrome version 87.0.4280.88 (= latest as of Jan 2, 2021. To see your version, click on the 3 vertical dots at top rt corner of Chrome, and scroll to Help. Click on "About Google Chrome").

Chrome is blocking Kindle downloads as “Insecure Content”. To allow downloading of Kindle files:

1. Open your Amazon Account and navigate to "Manage your Content and devices". (In my browser, the command line is "amazon.com/hz/mycd/myx?pageType=content&ref_=ya_d_l_manage_kindle#/home/content/booksAll/dateDsc/").

2. Rt click on the padlock icon at left of "amazon.com..." on the above command line at the top of the page.

3. Left click on "Site Settings". A long list of permissions should appear.

4. Scroll down to "Insecure Content", which is near the bottom. Change setting to "allow".

5. Click back arrow to return to Amazon. Click the refresh circle at left of command line at top.

6. Downloads should now work fine.
