Last time I did probably close enough to this (kindle ebook to drm free format that works on anything), I had to use a patched old version of the kindle desktop program together with calibre and some drm removal plugin. The ebook had to be downloaded for the first time with the patched client or you would be stuck with the newer drm that at the time and probably still now hasn’t been figured out.
Just use that I stead of the apprenticeharper version the guide links you to. I haven’t used apple pc’s since the PowerPC processor days so I’m not sure where to safely get old version mirrors of kindle desktop.

Ah thanks, this seems to be what I want. Do you have a link to the steps or something similar?
I did it on Linux using wine and frustration. I skimmed over this guide and it’s just an old version, not patched, and will work on Mac it seems.

The original dev of the dedrm plugin no longer maintains it and has recommended this fork instead:
