As Darryl says, a right-click in calibre is what you want, to import from the Kindle. But there are two caveats:
(1) Some picture-heavy books (and only some, not all such books) downloaded directly to a Kindle come in two parts - a .azw3 for the text and a .azw6 for the pictures. calibre doesn't understand the .azw6 format, and the imported book will be without its images.
(2) Many of the books will have DRM which means that calibre will be able to store them and their metadata (title, author, etc) but will not be able to display or convert them
The solution for (2) is easy - Apprentice Alf's DRM removal plugin for calibre 'DeDRM'. See Apprentice Alf's blog for a download and instructions.
The solution for (1) is more tedious. At the Amazon web site you can download books 'for transfer via USB' to your Kindle. Books downloaded to your computer in this way never come in two parts - the pictures will always be included in the .azw3 file downloaded, and importing that file into calibre will get you the entire book. And if you have the DeDRM plugin installed and configured, you'll be able to read or convert the full book, including illustrations, with calibre
