Ahh, I found it. I don't know why they store the cover one place and the document elsewhere.

I bought 1 book, but see that between 11:03 and 11:08, "My Kindle Content" has two .mpb files, five .apnx files, and an .azw file.

I've done this before, but forgot how. While I have the drm protection, I try very hard to only buy from sources without .drm, and forgot how.

One reason to copy to Calibre is to give it a usable name. Another reason is I got Spotlight to work on Calibre e-books, so I can find strings and know what book they are from.

Thanks.
