The files (the ebook itself has the suffix .azw) should be on your computer in the My Kindle Content folder in your Documents folder. You can sort by file type and date to find the files easier, since the naming convention is Amazon's product code rather than title and author.

Do you want to strip the DRM? If so, then you'll have to google Apprentice Alf and get the tools for that installed before you import the files to calibre. Then you can add the ebook files to calibre by dragging and dropping them into the program or by using the Add Books icon in calibre.
