Yes, you do. You want to send it to Kindle for PC. That downloads an actual file to your PC, in a folder called "My Kindle Content" in your "My Documents" folder. This is the simple way to do what you want. In addition, if you make the acquaintance of Apprentice Alf you'll also be able to remove the DRM from the file downloaded to Kindle for PC which you can't do for files from Kindle for Android.

If you also download calibre, you won't even need to mess around with installing Python and PyCrypto, and you'll get an excellent program for organising/sorting/converting your ebooks.
