The Calibre viewer doesn't read Kindle formats. Any Kindle book you open with the viewer gets converted to epub first. That's why huge Kindle books take time to open with the Calibre viewer, but are much faster on an actual Kindle device or app.

I realise that but Calibre had locked up twice, trying to convert it to ePub (for splitting), on a i7 laptop with 16gb ram and a good Nvidia graphics card - Sigil had no problem and I prefer conversions in Sigil to Calibre because Calibre adds a huge amount of messy unnecessary CSS, even though it works well and most people wouldn't notice. It does show that though that the processing power on an actual Kindle device, needed for pure eBooks, isn't very much. Or rather Amazon does deliver the right format for the right device, still even
for a 12 year old device.
