The further question:

For anyone who got a basic Kindle 2024 release, does it have Download and transfer available or is it also missing?

That should answer if it is 12th gen specific, or if it is 2024 released specific. Amazon still has the new basic Kindle as the 11th gen per the product page.

Yes, I wonder if it is all the 2024 release Kindles that have lost access to download & transfer.

Between hubby and I we have a PW SE 11th gen, a PW 11th gen, a Kindle 6” 11th gen and a Scribe. They can all download & transfer as at today. I just tested it.

Those are all pre-2024 releases though. I'm talking about the brand-new models.

Curious for anyone who has the new MTP Kindles...do you have access to books downloaded directly to the Kindle?

Someone on another thread (more than one person I think) has confirmed they do not have the option to download and transfer for one of the new Kindle’s they already have received.

So far we only know that the PW6 has no D&T available. We are still waiting for confirmation on the Basic, the Scribe, and the Colorsoft.

With the new PW 12th gen (I think it's MTP) I see it has a mass storage and can access it on a Windows computer.

Does it answer your question?

No. Can you see your Amazon purchases on the PW when you connect it to your computer?

I believe the question is more about whether the option to “Download and transfer via USB” is available for this Kindle in the “Manage Your Content and Devices” section of the Amazon website.

A different question was also raised by lkmiller.

If the files for purchased books are accessible from the device via MTP there is a possibility of importing into calibre from there if the DRM is removable. Unfortunately the result will likely be inferior to what D&T would have provided.

Ah, apologies all for the misunderstanding, I didn’t realize this was a possible avenue for DRM removal. Thanks for the info!

The files are accessible and there might be a possibility.

But imported in Calibre you got a KFX-ZIP just as you could have with the last kindle app version (clearly DRMed).

It will require some work I guess.

Well, some good news at least.
Thank you.

Howdy! First post here

I got the 2024 basic and can confirm it does not show up under the “download and transfer via usb” options. My other kindles are listed. The 2024 basic does show in my devices, so it seems, at least for now, it doesn’t have the D&T feature.
