Question All's Well that Ends Well

What a pain in the neck. I've been trying to get all of my ebooks into Calibre for days. I have read articles and instructions about stripping the ebook so that it can be imported, I have downloaded Calibre add-on apps, downloaded apps like DeDRM, and still can't get some of my purchased Kindle ebooks into Calibre. How the heck do you make it work?

UPDATE: UPDATE: I just found this post, which led me to most of my Kindle books! Why isn't this information more readily available? This would have saved a lot of aggravation.

"Kindle.app now uses the Apple Sandbox functionality.
This means that it can only affect and see files in a subdirectory under ~/Library/Containers. The .azw files are in ~/Library/Containers/com.amazon.Kindle/Data/Library/Application Support/Kindle/My Kindle Content
This directory is shown in the Kindle app in Preferences->General as the value of Content Folder and it appears that this can be changed there."
