You can download the books on your PC and DeDRM them using Calibre. Not sure if its legal, but as far as im concerned i paid for those books and i should be able to read them wherever i like.

I’d love to be proven wrong, but you need an older version of the kindle desktop app that isn’t reliably available. By available I mean from a reputable source…

Yes, but it is available if you go looking. “Reputable source” is a matter of perspective.
