It is likely that it will work as long as you follow the instructions in the first post in this thread to prevent Kindle for PC from downloading books in KFX format.

Assuming DRM removal is successful you will be able to to convert using calibre. If you encounter problems with DRM removal you will need to ask for assistance at either Apprentice Alf's Blog or Apprentice Harper's GitHub. Details of DRM removal cannot be discussed here on MobileRead.

The book is downloaded to your phone but there is no way to access the downloaded files unless your phone has been jailbroken. Even if you obtain access to those files there is no way to remove that DRM, even with the latest available tools.

The first post in this thread has the filenames to search for to download older versions of Kindle for PC. Once you download be sure to verify the hash using the instructions provided in order to avoid malware.
