You can download purchased eBooks form Amazon using Download & transfer to USB in KF8. You cannot use this method with KU/Prime eBooks. For that, you can use an older version of KindleforPC or KindleforMAC as long as the KU/Prime eBooks were not published January 3, 2023 or later.

Plus, if you have a PW3 that has an older (non-KFX) firmware, it's possible that Amazon may force a firmware update in order to be able to sync eBooks.
