But if you are buying an Amazon ebook for a Kindle app, then copying elsewhere is pointless except as a backup. Alf only works on the one computer that has the Kindle app/program.

Buy a cheap physical kindle and always select Download to PC (includes Macs, iOS. Linux and Android) and then select that physical kindle, not any registered App.
I will say you are wrong here about DeDRM only working on the computer that has KindleForPC/MAC installed. The forum rules don't let me say how you are wrong. But just know that you are.

That's why I said to ask in the comments section of Alf's blog. There the answer can be given.
