No, Jon, that's just ONE application, that needs to be crippled to even work with Calibre. The Solution is any Kindle with FW 3.4.3 or later, oldest a Kindle Keyboard 3rd Gen (B006, B008 or B00A), not the slightly later DXG (model B009). Go Content and Devices and "Download to PC for USB Transfer". As long as the Kindle is registered you can copy serial number from Devices page and paste into the suitable Calibre plugin. Once registered the Kindle NEVER needs to have WiFi, or even work at all. It needs to not be blacklisted and work long enough to register via Wifi or Mobile (depending on model) once. A S/H needs to be deregistered and not blacklisted by previous owner.
People have had plenty of trouble with K4PC.
I used Windows for nearly 25 years. I only used k4PC for a short while on XP. I use all the same software (except they are later version) that I used on XP and Windows 7 (till 2016) that I use now on Linux. Last version of Office on Windows was Office XP. Switched to LO Writer on XP. I did buy Office Basic 2003 and 2007 (old stock) and registered them with MS (on WINE on Linux) out of curiosity and only used Office 2007 long enough to install classic menu instead of nasty Ribbon.
I appreciate many have to use Windows and some prefer it. But Win10 & 11 are so incompatible with older Windows some programs work on WINE and NOT on Win10 or 11 64 bit. MS offers XP or Win7 on the same VM software as comes with Linux.
