My outdated "Dealing with KFX" post was originally focused on methods for avoiding KFX format and did not go into all of the possible ways that Kindle books could be obtained in KFX. Copying them directly from a Kindle has been possible on and off depending on whether or not the currently used KFX DRM was supported by the deDRM plugin.
It was not emphasized because it is not a great method to obtain Kindle books. The resulting files will typically have low quality images. However with Download & Transfer becoming unavailable for new Kindle models and other alternatives becoming more difficult to make work, it may be good enough in some cases.

At present most books in KFX obtained using USB directly from Kindles running the latest firmware can have their DRM removed using DeDRM 10.0.9 or later. That could end at any time. Amazon has a history of reacting quickly when they become aware that holes in KFX DRM are being exploited.
Kindles that are no longer receiving firmware updates (9th Generation and earlier) are likely to continue to allow KFX DRM removal as long as they are supported by Amazon. That might become useful if Amazon continues to curtail the availability of Download & Transfer.
