I would like to convert one of the Kindle EBooks into editable text using Calibre but have no idea how to do so. Could someone please give me a hint or two.
2 steps
1) Remove the DRM (We can't discuss the How. Go find Apprentice Alf)
2) Import the book format from your My Kindle folder (KFX format is a different ball game. IMHO stick with AZW). If you follow Alfs advice, the book will lose DRM during the import.
