Capture downloaded Kindle books to disk

Greetings! This is my first mobileread post, so I hope I'm posting in a reasonable location for my topic.

As an experiment, I bought my first 3 Kindle books. But I don't own any Kindle devices, and I don't wish to be bound to the Kindle reading app. Is there a way for Calibre to find and recognize my 3 downloaded Kindle books, so that I can capture the files on disk and then convert them to another format?

Editing this post ... Okay, I just found a folder called "My Kindle Content". This folder appears to contain all my books. For each book I purchased, there are files with the extensions apnx. azw, mbp, and phl. For the three books they gave me, there is no .phl file. (That last character appears to be an "L".)

Thank you!
