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

I have a 2024 paperwhite and just tried because I'm worried about that, too Sometimes the wifi connection doesn't download well and I've been doing the download and transfer.
I chose a random book, downloaded through wifi, plugged the kindle into my pc and brought up Calibre. Told Calibre to show only what was on the device. Saw the newly downloaded volume, and told Calibre to copy to library. It did and I could read the book in Calibre's viewer.
I do have Callibre set to convert anything new to epub, if it isn't already. Epubs tend to behave better, and if anything needs editing I can edit it, where I can't edit a kfx file.
