or, you can run a search in Windows for: *.azw (that is, any filenames with the extension .azw on the end)

Once Windows starts finding files, if you have your view of the files set as "Details", there should be a path listed next to each file, telling you where it is located. You can then right click one and click "Open Folder Location" or whatever, and it shold take you to the folder where that file is.

fyi, AZW is the file extension Amazon uses for its mobi format books, so whatever ebooks you buy from Amazon should have that extension (unless they are topaz)


Of course, if you are using Calibre then you would need to be aware that Calibre does keep its own copies of ebooks you sent to it, keeping in mind that Calibre names the files things like "(author name) - (book title).azw" while K4PC names files with random characters (eg. "hksdhk.azw") so the book filenames with random characters should be an indicator of the files you are looking for.


So let me get this straight... are you not using Calibre? It would seem to me that the reason why your Kindle would have issues being detected properly by Windows is because you didn't "eject" it from appearing in Windows before physically disconnecting it from your PC. However, if you're using K4PC and your Kindle and downloading your ebooks directly from Amazon without breaking any DRM, then using Calibre wouldn't really work well for you so this situation puzzles me a bit.


Or... you could just be physically disconnecting your Kindle from your PC without even trying to eject it at all. That could certainly cause issues, but why would you do that?
