OK, I've been limited to downloading many Kindle books via the Download and Transfer via USB route as I'm told the Kindle for Mac application needs to be updated but when I try, I'm told it won't run on my MacOS version. The last makes sense because miMac is maxed out at MacOS 10.13.6 (High Sierra).

However, when I tried to download a book I bought today, instead of the normal booktitle.azw3 file, I get this "FSDownloadContent" with no file extension which won't load. However, I discovered that by adding the .azw3 extension, then I can at least add the book to Calibre.

But I'm curious if anyone knows what FSDownloadContent means exactly.
