It worked for the older e-ink kindles too. You just got a mobi (which could be decrypted). Don't know what might be happening now that Amazon seems to be leaving the mobi format behind.

Direct download over WIFI to the device:
This is an unrestricted loophole that only gives KF8 (in a AZW3 file) for eink Kindles older than a PW1 (5th gen), but not too old and it needs a FW update to understand KF8 (e.g. the original KT or a KK3).
I thought the Kindle Touch handled KF8 from the beginning. At any rate, its last firmware version is definitely in the handles KF8, not KFX range.

On the PW1 you get a split file as AZW3 (has only the cover image in B/W) plus a AZW6 (this has all other images, also in B/W).
Do all the AZW3 files downloaded to a PW1 have their images split into an AZW6 file? Or just image heavy ones?
