I usually download new books from Amazon by clicking the option to download them to the computer by the usb menu. By Manage Your Content

I guess you mean Kindle Unlimited books, as the USB option is still there for purchased books, but Amazon disabled it for KU loans. Now you'll need to buy the books to get the download option.

A Voyage or PW3 with original release firmware will download azw3 format, which DeDRM handles fine. If the book has any images, the will be in an awz6 file. DeDRM also handles those azw3, but the book will show images only on another kindle.Conversion to EPUB loses the images, but otherwise the book is OK.

True, but since a device has to be online to be able to receive books from Amazon (without using Download & Transfer) newer devices will tend to automatically update to the latest available firmware which uses KFX. Preventing that (or reverting to older firmware after the fact) will be beyond the capabilities of many users.

Where are you going to get a Voyage or a PW3 with the original firmware? I'm not sure they're particularly easy to find. It's easier to find an used K3 or a K4.
