I recommend that you wait and see what happens with the PC app. There is a real chance that its replacement, coming soon, will be usable instead.

There are a VERY limited number of models that currently work. And based on what Amazon did to some of the other models (using diagnostic code to piggyback new drm into it), that may not last long. Amazon could do the same to these models. (Right now, the Voyage and the 10th generation models are the only ones working easily. Some other models may work if jailbroken and other stuff done.)

The Kindle for PC method that is currently working may or may not change come the end of June when supposedly they are cutting if off in favor of a new app they will release through the microsoft app store.

In short...Amazon is really going all in on trying to lock down drm.

No. None of the new Kindle’s on offer (those currently sold by Amazon) will allow you to transfer your files from the kindle to calibre. Current kindles use MTP and do not allow you access to the files.
MTP is not correlated to DRM removal. In particular you can copy book and annotation storage just as with any Kindle.

I was able to remove DRM with both Scribe and Colorsoft, both are MTP, until updates removed this possibility. Same as those using USB Mass Storage.

My Oasis 10th Gen transferred a KFX-ZIP this morning and it was jailbroken, so obviously that's not made any difference. Software version is 5.18.2

I see in another thread that you tried again and it worked.

Yes I did. Apologies but I just couldn’t find this thread to post. Another member told me it could have been an incorrect download that caused the zip file.

Is there a K4PC version that still allows downloading AZW3 or MOBI, i.e. not forcing a KFX?

Not one that will still allow downloading from Amazon.
