How can I transfer the actual .mobi file of a book I've purchased from Amazon onto my computer?

Plug your kindle in to your computer and copy the file across from the Documents folder on the Kindle.
Of course, the file extension might be .azw instead of .mobi. And it's possible that it might even be .azw1, .azw3, .azw4 or even .tpz.
And the file itself might not be in Mobipocket format, but might be a Topaz file, a PDF (wrapped in a PDB) or one of the new Amazon .KF8 format files.
But if it is just a Mobipocket format file, you can just change the extension to .mobi.
But perhaps, instead, you're asking how you can remove the DRM and so transfer it to other Mobipocket reading devices as a .mobi file?
In that case, you need to consult Apprentice Alf (google, I can't give a direct link here.) for the DRM removal, and calibre for conversion from whatever format it really is into Mobipocket format.
