I have downloaded books from my Kindle for PC onto my computer. I now have a My Kindle Content folder in my Documents. When I open that there is a bunch of funny named folders that end in _EBOK. When I click on those to open them, there are 7 (i don't know what to call them? Sub-folders?) that say they are File Folders, Kindle Content, PHL File, and RES File.
I have tried to Add Books to my Calibre library, and choose the _EBOK files...but when I open them farther, none of the sub-folders are there. When I go to Calibre and open them I just get a message saying it can't be opened.

Is there a step I have missed? Or a way to put them right from Kindle to Calibre without going through my computer?
