I still use what would seem to be the 'old' method. I download books to a 3rd gen Kindle Keyboard, they show up as azw3 files. I then import to Calibre via a USB connection. The Calibre I use has an older version of DeDRM tools installed with the DRM key of my Kindle installed and the DRM is removed nicely. Only issue is sometimes the old Kindle does not find the book in my library, in that case I push to the device via the Amazon website. Works for KU books as well as purchases.
I might set up a VM to test the new DeDRM tools, as I don't want to risk the setup I have working.
