It allows anyone to pack thousands of free and comparatively cheap publications into a single frame weighing less than 5 ounces. But what happens when you decide you’d rather view your precious Kindle files as PDFs on your computer, or more likely, on another device that doesn’t support native ebook formats such as AZW or MOBI?

I'm am trying to download some Kindle eBooks that I have bought to my laptop. I tried connecting my Kindle to my PC via USB and then try to access the files from there, but I can't find the files that actually contain the book. I'm not sure if I'm doing something wrong, or if this just isn't possible. How can I download eBooks from my Kindle to my PC?
The Kindle is a Kindle Paperwhite and the laptop is an Ubuntu. Not sure if that matters, though.

The screenshot is from my iMac but the principal is the same in Ubuntu. The azw3 files are actual book files. Older ones may have been .mobi files. Just highlight the ones you want and copy (control c) and paste (control v) where you want them. You can also delete them if you wish but I would leave any of the other files in each folder as they contain useful information about the book and your history with it such as indexes, dictionary lookups etc.

Calibre, on the other hand allows one to edit epub books, convert between file types and generally maintain your ebook library on your computer. You can then send them to your various readers. Some of those features require removal of DRM to do but there are many public domain ebooks.

with downloading the kindle software from Amazon you tell Amazon that there is one more device to distribute your ebooks to. You can have some more devices connected to your account: iPad, Smartphone etc.Then the downloading will be very easy.Maybe you will need a Windows partition.

The current version of the kindle cloud reader stores books to a WebSQL Database, which is basically a sqlite file on hard disk.Unfortunately the ebooks are stored in a proprietary, obfuscated format, thus just locating the file doesn't help much.
One possibility to convert this to an open/usable format is this nodejs script: https://github.com/d10r/kindle-fetch

If you're using Calibre, switch to your 'Device':
Select the books that are not in your Calibre library (i.e., the ones without the check mark), right-click and then click 'Add books to library':
That's particularly useful if you have some books on Kindle that you didn't have in your library, thus you don't have to check which ones are missing, neither copy them manually.
