I wasn't sure if what I wanted to do was against this forum's policy so I didn't post it. I wanted to print the book and I know Kindle books are made to not be printed. If this solution is against guidelines, please delete it and I'll understand.

The book was a cookbook which was only available as a digital edition. There was no print edition available and the book was not DRM protected. Reading a cookbook in the kitchen on a tablet isn't my favorite thing in the world.

I used Calibre and a plugin named kindle_unpack_v0812_plugin. Open the book, run it through the plugin, and it will create an output folder with a few subfolders. It extracts the book into individual images (JPG), sequentially named by page.

Then, I ran it through a command line tool that converts multiple JPG files into a PDF, jpeg2pdf_1.1_win32 from Sourceforge. It scoops them all up and wraps them neatly into a single PDF.

Best of luck.
