No, you have to use the Browser, go to your Amazon, log in, "Account and Lists" -> "Manage Content & Devices" -> Content -> Books
Go to a book and each as three "buttons": "Deliver or Remove from Device", "Mark as read" and "More Actions" (a sub menu)
More Actions has 8 options. First is Delete and second is "Download & Transfer via USB". It lists registered devices and apps as per DSNB's screen shot. Select any pre 3.4.x FW Kindle and you get mobi/azw, but select KK3 (with last FW) or later except DXG and you will get azw3 if available, but sometimes mobi/azw if there was only mobi upload. You never ever get KFX.
If the book or magazine is Fixed Layout or otherwise strange then no eink based kindle can be selected. DRM depends on if the Publisher requested it unlike KFX which always has DRM.
Do not use an old PC or K4PC. Just use a "modern enough" browser that supports Javascript (some need Amazon to be whitelisted). This works on Mac, Windows, Linux and Android. Probably on iOS too.
This has always worked for me on Windows and Linux.
