“Starting February 26, 2025, the “Download & Transfer via USB” option will no longer be available.”

Amazon is removing the last easy way to download and back up Kindle books you bought. Delivery becomes Wi-Fi only, inside Amazon’s system. The outlet reporting it calls backups piracy. You rent the book and Amazon holds the only copy.
