Thanks, your reply was very helpful

Hi Dave, thanks for taking the time to respond in such a detailed and helpful manner. Your instructions made the whole process easier for me. I think that I made it harder than it had to be, like, knowing just enough to be dangerous. I appreciate your assistance.

Peace,

Chip

Once setup I go to http://www.amazon.co.uk/mk although yours might be http://www.amazon.com/my, select the ... next to each book and click DOWNLOAD, it will appear in your DOWNLOADS location in Safari. Then simply drag the file into your Calibre window that's open, it should import the ebook and remove any DRM. I don't use the Kindle app for Mac, I bypass this. Once imported if you have it setup to automatically remove DRM it will remove it. If not you can right click on the ebook in Calibre and select CONVERT BOOKS and CONVERT MANUALLY on each one (or select a bunch and do multiple).

You can then right click on the book again and OPEN CONTAINING FOLDER and it will show you the converted ebooks. I always convert to MOBI and I can then use the Send to Kindle email service to put them back in my cloud or copy them manually to an ereader of my choosing.
