I suppose at some point the ability to see the device file tree will be locked down too - probably with a firmware upgrade.

Kindle Oasis 9th generation here. You need to install the KFX plugin on calibre. See https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sh...d.php?t=361503 for its download. What I do is buy the book on Amazon, then wait for it to show up in the Library on the Kindle (bottom right on the screen; took me a while to notice it since I never use my Kindle), then tap the 3 dots thing for the book and select Download. Using their Content web page and the Deliver or Remove from Device button doesn't work for me. You'll also need the DeDRM plugin if you want to convert the book to EPUB, or maybe it's needed regardless. After it shows up on your Kindle, connect it to your PC, then find the books down in the Kindle's Documents folder and drag them into the Calibre window. I then convert the books to EPUB and transfer them to my Kobo. (After all these years of not using my Kindle I'm still amazed at how horrid the Kindle UI is compared to the Kobo.)
