I have Mac OS X 10.7.5 and this is where My Kindle Content is located ...

MacBookHD/Users/YourUserNameGoesHere/Library/Application Support/Kindle/My Kindle Content

You will have to be able to see HIDDEN Files & Folders because the folder called Library is a HIDDEN Folder.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Look up how to make hidden files and folders visible if you don't already have them visible if this Terminal command does not work for your version of OS X:

Type the following text into the Terminal window...

defaults write com.apple.Finder AppleShowAllFiles YES
Then, press "Enter:"

Close/Quit the Terminal program

Restart Finder. The new setting will not take effect until you relaunch finder. To do so, hold down the "Alt" key and right-click or two-fingered click on the Finder icon. Select "Relaunch."
- or -
Hold down Command-Option and hit Esc key. This will bring up the Force Quit Window. Select Finder. Click on Relaunch.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

If you don't want to keep your hidden files visible, you can reverse the process by following these steps.

Type the following text into the Terminal window.

defaults write com.apple.Finder AppleShowAllFiles NO
Then, press "Enter:"
Close/Quit the Terminal program

Restart Finder. The new setting will not take effect until you relaunch finder. To do so, hold down the "Alt" key and right-click or two-fingered click on the Finder icon. Select "Relaunch."
- or -
Hold down Command-Option and hit Esc key. This will bring up the Force Quit Window. Select Finder. Click on Relaunch.

Hope this information helps people find their Kindle Data

Hope this helps if you didn't know how to make your HIDDEN files and folders visible or invisible.
