All right.

It took me a while to understand that the restriction does not apply if you have a Kindle and use the Download & Transfer function. Hopefully it was just the translation.

Yes, download & transfer still works to avoid KFX format for purchased books no matter when published. (Unless it is a KFX only book.)

This part of the translation? (I used google translate and assumed German for you)
Quote:
Herunterladen und übertragen
  • Wenn Sie einen e-Ink-Kindle besitzen, steht „Herunterladen und Übertragen“ weiterhin für gekaufte Bücher zur Verfügung, unabhängig davon, wann sie veröffentlicht wurden. Diese Dateien können mit DeDRM versehen werden.
  • Bei Kindle Unlimited ausgeliehene Bücher können jedoch nicht heruntergeladen und übertragen werden . (Beachten Sie, dass Autoren pro gelesener Seite bezahlt werden, was nicht nachverfolgt werden kann, wenn ein KU-Buch offline gelesen wird.)
The red highlighted part is a little bit garbled as it looks like the opposite of what is meant. The original "These files can be DeDRM'd." means that the DRM can be removed. Google did a pretty good job of trying to interpret it to apply DeDRM treatmeant without knowing that the treat is to remove a feature not add it. You might need to turn translate on and off to see the differences.

Also it appears Kindle for Mac has the feature of being able to download a version of the book for an eink Kindle directly which the K4PC does not, as far as I know. On Windows you have to go to a browser to do that.

You can only find the "download & transfer" option on the website.

That was exactly the point I misunderstood.

I have actually never used the programme, but have always used the web browser.
Now when I download books via Kindle for Mac they are in kfx format. So useless. But as long as it's via the browser, I'll keep buying the books from Amazon.

Lost in translation, perhaps. Should have made sense to me, as I am kind of fluent in German if I practice a little bit. Alas, English is preferred languange at the moment.

It sounded confusing, because I misinterpreted that you got a KF8 download with Kindle4Mac.

I thought that you need an older version of Kindle4Mac to be able to download KF8 files via the website. As if these downloaded files would be read with Kindle4Mac. Completely wrong thinking.

The mods are humans after all, but a chatbot or so called AI would do a far worse job. Just look at Facebook.
