I hope that Amazon continues to allow download and transfer but I doubt that they are going to change or remove it because of bug reports related to other software.
I do wonder why Amazon continues to support it. It is an anachronism now that WiFi is more common than personal computers. Its main uses seem to be allowing extraction of books from the Kindle ecosystem and allowing users to keep their Kindles permanently offline, both things that Amazon would rather not have happen.
D&T does not support KFX format. One reason for that is KFX was designed with the assumption that Amazon’s server would be in communication with the target device in order to allow the KFX format to be tailored to the exact firmware version running on that device. I believe that in making that design decision Amazon’s engineers planned for the eventual elimination of D&T.
