There is no such option. That option is not available for the new Kindle e-readers, nor for e-readers of any other brand. If I want to transfer my books purchased from Amazon via USB to either my Kobo e-readers or my new Kindle e-readers, I'm going to have to do something other than use the "D&T" method. Let's just say that buying a Kobo Libra Colour instead of a Kindle Colorsoft is not going to make it any easier for me.
The bold part is what threw me. That option has never been available for D&T and directly transferring them to other ereaders; conversion and most likely DRM stripping has always been involved (except maybe in very limited cases).

Going back to one of your earlier statements that also threw me:

What Amazon does not have is the option to "download and transfer" via USB your books on any Kobo e-reader. There is no e-reader on the market today that allows you to do that, neither the new Kindle models nor any other e-reader of any other brand.
That shipped sailed a long time ago.
