Hello,
Thank you very much for your reply.

You're probably right. I checked with the Kindle app on my phone, and those books don't reflow. Too bad, I really wanted those books.

2) You need to copy & paste the serial number of the Kindle you are downloading for "Transfer via USB" from your "Manage Your Content and Devices" > "Devices" into the DeDrm plugin installed separately from Git into Calibre.
Delete from Calibre and re-add any ebooks for the later Kindle.
That's actually what I did. I pasted the serials for both devices in the plugin. The same books, if I download them "for my older Kindle", work perfectly. If I download them "for the new one", they all don't have DRM removed. It's not a huge issue, since nothing stops me from downloading them for the older device. Until, that is, Amazon decides to make it obsolete, and drops support for it. I read somewhere that the newer devices use a new encryption, that the de-DRM plugin can't handle (yet)...
