However, if I navigate to the book on my K4BNT itself (Archived library) and click on it, it will not download. Instead, I still get the "Your download was not successful. Please try again" error.
To be honest, this doesn't feel so much like Amazon deliberately pulling the plug on older Kindles as much as it feels like deprecated software being broken by new processes and not being fixed because the deprecated software is ... well ... deprecated.

I JUST registered and was able to download to a Kindle Keyboard 3rd Gen FW 3.4.2 - got an azw3 download - and was busy patting myself on the back about it when I learned about Amazon's stopping the ability to buy, download, or borrow new content on devices from 2012 and older - the ones only running the .azw3 formats.
I have a 7th Gen Paperwhite that was snuck updated to 5.16.2.1.1 last month. It still pulls books but it's a pain to get them to download and it's a gamble if they actually remove the DRM now.
Here's the link on "The Verge" where it's talked about
