Transfer Kindle KFX books to Calibre
Hi,

Now that Amazon has disabled downloads of Kindle books to older Kindle e-ink devices, how do I transfer books (KFX) from a new Kindle to Calibre, so I can convert them to enable my old Kindles to read them.

Cheers.

You still can until the Windows Store version of K4PC is released.

There is a bit over a month left for that option. So basically it no longer counts for people who want a long-term option.

Unfortunately, this is true. But what it means is anyone who has eBooks not downloaded, they can be downloaded and the DRM removed.
