For amazon ebook purchase, it used to be possible to select "Download and Transfer via USB" as the purchase destination. A few weeks or months ago, this selection started getting ignored and the book was sent to the default device. It is now necessary to go to the contents and devices page, find the book, open a menu, and select "Download and Transfer via USB", unless it has recently been fixed. This has been discussed in some other thread.

So, since amazon is going to send it anyway, I save some steps by spoofing a lower firmware version and the book is sent directly as KF8/azw3 instead of KFX.
As a Calibre user I have always have had all books sent to K4PC as the default device. Than had Calibre suck it in.
