You can't do it directly. Amazon's books are protected with their own DRM, which Calibre on its own cannot decode. There are tools available which will remove the DRM, but these are not discussed or referenced directly on MR forums, probably due to their questionable legality in some jurisdictions. However, if you do ever need it, there are several threads giving hints on how you can locate these tools.
