Realize that "Download and Transfer" does not necessarily mean "stripping DRM". I read Kindle Unlimited books on my Kindle. But I always Download and Transfer them. Because my Kindle stays in airplane mode permanently (for a variety of reasons, all by my choice). Killing Download and Transfer kills side loading, which in turn kills KU (for me). Which I accept, because it is my personal choice to keep my Kindle offline.

I do the same thing with library loans. Those are always Downloaded and Transferred as well. Amazon hasn't blocked this (yet). I am hoping that Amazon won't - because these books are controlled by the libraries, not by Amazon. Amazon might block downloading library books at a libraries request, but they shouldn't do it on their own account.

I mention this use of Download and Transfer only because it appears some people may be thinking that Download and Transfer always equates to removing DRM. It can. But not always.
