Yes, this is a reply to an old thread.
The answers I saw didn't work for the operating system abovenoted.
I use a MacBook Air with the above operating system.
I use the Kindle Reader app for MacOSX.
That said, to DEFINITELY find where Kindle book content is stored, here is the location for this operating system. Whether this is good for later ones I don't know. Here is the path:
HD(hard drive icon)/Users/(your computer icon or name)/library (stop: this library is DELIBERATELY HIDDEN BY APPLE. To find it press OPTION key, then select the GO from the finder menu, and it appears; then select it)/containers/com.amazon.Kindle/data/library/application support/kindle/mykindle content. And there it is!
All 172 books (encrypted names) were there.
Hope this helps!
