I bought every book I had in paper (where possible), everything I wanted, might want, and could possibly want for the future, and de-DRM'd it. Then I added 60+ Delphi Classic books for every writer I knew about and was remotely interested in.
Everything is de-DRM'd, converted to EPUB, cleaned up and fixed (one book at a time... and yes, that took YEARS), so even if I don't buy another book, ever, I can read until the day I die and beyond, without reading anything twice.
(If I'd read one book per week, I could conceivably read my entire library in +/- 30 years. So I could achieve to read everything before I die, but I have too many other hobbies to read one book 350+ page per week.)
If I can't buy books without de-DRM-ing them, I just stop buying books. I did so with games. If it doesn't appear DRM-free on GOG.com, I don't buy it. Same with software: if I can't just buy it, install it with a serial and be done with it, I won't buy it.
If I'd want to rent books (and read enough to do so), I'd have a Kindle Unlimited or Kobo Plus account.

If you still have your Kindle then you can just download your books from the Content and Devices page...no reason to use Kindle for PC at all.
