So at this point, I'm trying to do this the way Amazon wants me to. Just download my purchased books onto my kindle without side loading or stripping DRM etc. And that's what's failing.
What format are you side loading to your Kindle? If it's KFX, you can set them as pdoc and they should not get removed. If it's KF8, you'd have to find a program to change the header to set them as pdoc.
