I believe its possible . You'd have to login to to your amazon account with both devices (kindle) you should be able to transfer it then

@Azura Shadow But @BabeintheWoods says that the other platform doesn't support Amazon's Kindle app.

What I do is like this.
1. Convert the Kindle Books to PDF
2. Transfer the PDF to the other platform.

About the first step, I'm using Calibre to do the thing.
You can download the software at their Calibre Official Website here.

The steps will be as follows.
Download your book
1. Log into your Amazon account on your computer or laptop.
2. Hover to where it says Your Account , and then select Manage Your Content and Devices.
3. Go to the top left where it says Show, choose Books and then tap the three dots at the left next to the title you want and choose Download & Transfer via USB.
4. You can choose your Kindle devices and your book will be downloaded onto your computer in AZW or KFX format.

Convert it using Calibre
1. Open Calibre, and add your kindle file either by using the Add Books button on the top left of the software or by drag and drop your AZW / KFX files into the window, as seen in below picture.

2. Select the files you wish to convert and click Convert Books button, then select PDF from the Output Format option. Just click OK then.

Calibre PDF Conversion Complete


3. Once the process is done, save the PDF converted file by selecting the ebook once more and right-click or CTRL-click the blue PDF link beside Formats. Choose Save the PDF format to disk.

After that, just transfer the PDF to your other device.
That's all.

I hope this helps. :)

Oh i'm sorry, if you haven't try to do this before, you can try to follow these steps.

This is how we can download purchased books to our PC or Mac

1. Open your browser and go to https://www.amazon.com/mycd. If you’re not already signed in to your Amazon account, you’ll be prompted to do so.
2. Click Your Content located near the top-left corner of the page and a list of your purchases in the cloud will appear.
3. Click the title and a check mark will be shown on selected ones.
4. Click Deliver to Default Device or Others. A pop-up will appear.
5. Select Kindle for PC or Kindle for Mac, then click Deliver. This will download the book to your computer.
6. Open the Kindle App on your computer (Kindle for PC or Mac), and click the Archived Items Tab to show a list of downloaded books.

That's all. :)

Yes I was aware of the device not supporting the kindle app but Loging into the.amazon account via a browser would have been feasible . (I assumed she had another device that did support kindle and therefore wished to transfer ) . There's an option to "manage" kindle account and download the books free of charge again ..

What you mention here is to completely convert kindles to other formats

@BabeintheWoods had much of the same frustration when I lost my tablet and my new device wasn't kindle compatible 🤕 I just switched over to epub and mobi formats and I couldn't be happier
