if not how can I have them on both the kindle and the kindle app?

Thanks

on PC it is easy.
starting from where you have the books in calibre already and have them converted to an amazon format ( mobi or AZW ):
# 1. install kindle for PC
# 2. in calibre preferences, set use external reader for mobi, azw...

then when you double click on a book in calibre, calibre will tell windows to use the default app for that format, which should be your newly installed kindle for PC app. what happens then is that the kindle app places a copy of the book into your my docs - my kindle content folder for future use, leaving the original still in calibre
