Is it possible to copy my books from my kobo to calibre?

I have had a Kobo touch reader for a couple of years and have lots of books loaded on it using Calibre (the books are from many different sources). My laptop was stolen so I loaded Calibre on my new laptop along with an old backup of my Calibre library. Unfortunately there are about 50 books on my Kobo that are not in my calibre library.

When I try to "Add books to library", I get an error saying that the books are virtual and cannot be added to the calibre library.

When I try to save to disk, I can't figure out what the format of the resulting file is.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
J
