Cracking Kindle Lending

I believe once a book is borrowed, you can download it through any app/device that is signed into your Amazon account (although there is usually a 6-devices/apps-per-book-at-a-time limit).

In order to borrow the book, you will, depending on the publisher, need a device (the apps will NOT work). And all books checked out through Prime Lending Library are like this. But afterwards, it should be available from all apps as well.

Edit: I forgot to mention -- Prime books will not be available from the apps. Just the library loans, even if it requires a device to check it out.
I have been able to connect my Kindle to one of my computers (haven't tried the others but there shouldn't be any issues on that) and have been able to copy over the content folder from the Kindle itself. The next thing I need to know now that I understand the .azw files are the actual ebook files which is a huge leap forward for me. Now I need to know how to crack the DRM and then how to convert the book to another file type like a .pdf which I can print from. So any continued assistance on this is appreciated.....
