Oh well, just add this frustration to the list of others that have appeared since ebooks licensing restrictions.

One idea: if you have a spare copy of WinXP to Win7 around, run it in a virtual machine (VirtualBox for example) on your win8 laptop. You would then run the associated Kindle app in the VM, which should give you access to your books.
I also read somewhere that the metro kindle app is storing books as ASIN_EBOK, where ASIN is the amazon ID and _EBOK is _EBOK. Don't know if it is true.

I can change it. What do you want to change it to?
