Take charge! Change the location of your Kindle for Mac content.

I created a "Books" folder just under my user level so it's at the same level as "Documents" "Music" "Pictues" etc. I use that folder for all things pertaining to Books. So your Kindle content will end up at: Moet>Books>Kindle Library (as per your Kindle prefs setting).

Once you know where your files are you can simply "drop" them onto the Calibre window to add them to Calibre...

Don't forget that the Kindle files will have DRM...

by the way...
On a Mac the user Library folder is often "hidden" (invisible). You can easily get to it by holding the option key and using the "GO TO" pull down menu on the Finder. (Library only shows with the option key held down.)
