If it is working for you, I wouldn't bother. My Linux installs are on VMs and I've had several issues installing calibre and Sigil from the distributions.

Sorry about that. At one point, I seem to remember that Kindle downloads were stored under Android as a .prc file however I'm not sure if they are decryptable.
I'm tempted to suggest doing the opposite of my running Linux and Mac VMs under Windows and install a Windows VM under Linux. Install the Kindle app (version 1.24 or earlier), download and have fun.
Another alternative would be to pick up a used Kindle ereader and register it so you can use it's serial number. if nothing else, browsing the prices some people ask for old ereaders is good for a chuckle.
