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.
Hmm, an AZW3 that isn't available to E-ink Kindles? Would you mind sharing the ASIN? Was it published this year?
