For the most part, I've moved away from Amazon to Kobo, which gives
you epub files that you can download. You can use Calibre to
convert epubs to mobi or azw3 to use on a kindle device if you want.

I still get azw/azw3 files as I still use the 2011 "Kindle Keyboard"
device.  The new ones don't have an aux jack, plus Calibre decrypt
still works.

The ability to get a workable file for those ended some time back.

There is (was) said to be a Kindle application for Windows.

And the Amazon Website has a reader for Kindle books. I use it to get
the ISBN and publisher info for my database. I have to copy these by
hand as the reader knows nothing of copy-and-paste.
