So I guess my 'relationship' with scAmazon is over, as far as eBooks are concerned...

I've switched to jumping through the new hoop of 'download and transfer via USB' which has worked up until today.

I just purchased and downloaded an eBook (azw3 format) using that method, but when I drag it into Calibre I get the familiar "This book is locked by DRM."

I note that my e-ink Kindle (Kindle Paperwhite Signature Edition) did not appear in the list of devices, only my Fire HD 10 tablet, and that I also cannot download the book on the physical Kindle.

It's probably for the best, as I've spent more money than I care to admit on books that I may/may not ever read, and have gotten many (thousands!) more completely free that I won't have enough time on this earth to be able to read.

Sayonara, scAmazon.
