If you take a look at the Kobo forums, before he passed away, @davidfor backported newer Kobo devices into a modified driver called KoboTouch348. Others have since added other new Kobo devices to the code. There is a discussion of the KTE driver being modified to inherit from the KoboTouch348 driver instead of the standard KoboTouch driver to allow use of the on the fly generation of kepubs. See
Kobo Touch Driver for calibre 3.48 for more about that driver.
In theory the same could be done for the Kindle driver and older calibre versions but so far the only person I'm aware of who was looking at doing so ended up moving to a new computer and the project got dumped into the bit bucket. As far as I recall, even the first step of backporting the driver from calibre 6.2's Python 3 to Python 2 hadn't been completed.
