No, I don't want to upgrade to Windows 8 or 10 or whatever; my old Kindle works fine and so should do the new one  |

Like many other NEWER things, The OS has a minimum. In this case, you want a 3rd party to do additional effort, just so YOU can love an obsolete OS (with no security patches).
Note: I do have an XP pro system. I keep it to run old external HW that never had a driver for W10. I can't even get a version of RDC that could be used to connect to my W10pro system. No NAS access as the security protocol has evolved.
If you want to keep that paperwat gen 11, the email your books to it

He can use the calibre web server and the kindle web browser, he could also duel boot a linux OS and use that.
The best solution for him ifhe wants to keep using win7 is to use linux and run win7 in a VM.
