I then dragged the books from the iBook App on my Mac to the desktop. Then I dragged and dropped them into ibookcopy. I believe rather than breaking the drm, it opens the book and copies it to a non drm ePub format. I had to do this one book at a time, too many books opening so fast crashes iBooks.

I then moved those books into Calibre, converted them to Mobi, plugged the Kindle in and sent the books to my device.

I had also downloaded Send to Kindle but it duplicated all the titles on the device as Documents to download, if anyone knows how to convert those documents to books, I'd appreciate it.

This was pretty tedious work, but so worth it for the 1 time I had to do it.
Hi! That actually doesn't sound too bad, good to know that such an app exists. As for Send to Kindle: "documents" is Amazon's nomenclature for books not bought on their service, they then also lack some of the features like hyphenation and cannot be read in the Mac and PC apps.
Otherwise I cannot but agree with you, I really enjoy reading on the Voyage... Really wish they would stop treating brought books as second rate books...
