1) Download and install Kindle for PC, then register it using your Amazon username and password.

2) Buy book

3) Open Kindle for PC and book should download to it after it does close Kindle 4 PC

4) Go to the 'My Kindle Content' folder in your PC's 'Documents' folder and there should be a file with a .azw extentsion (it will have a blue book icon).

5) Open Calibre and drag the book from step 4 into Calibre.

6) We know the Kindle book doesn't have any DRM to worry about because it's description says "Simultaneous Device Usage: Unlimited" so in Calibre click the Convert Books icon. Make sure Output Format (top right) says ePub if it doesn't already click OK and the book will convert to ePub* which you can then transfer to your Kobo for reading.

7) Enjoy!

*There are various settings that you can play with in the conversions window, but try a basic conversion first and post back if you have problems.
