This made me wonder, has someone already looked into and documented how the OTA content delivery mechanism works ?
I would be interested in hacking together a way to spoof the PW1 to have azw3 content delivered directly to a computer in a way that doesn't rely on the continued health of my nearly 11 year old Kindle.

That sounds fishy. While there is still a way to do it with the download and transfer via USB, you should do that instead. If you grab the book files off the PW1 directly, the book is no longer delivered as a one file KF8 book (unsure if that is a recent change or always been like that). Currently the plugin to merge a AZW3 and AZW6 does not work in its current state to even get the book without DRM.
