Not meaning to hijack the thread, perhaps there is a link to show me how to get B&N and KIndle content into Calibre? So far I have only used Calibre to convert non DRM books to different formats.

I can't speak of the Nook books myself, because B&N doesn't sell their digital content internationally, only in the US. From what I've read here, it's best not to buy their ebooks at all, because they removed the download option and in many cases it's now impossible to deDRM your Nook books
As to the Kindle books, it's more problematic for Mac users. On Windows, you can just use an old version of Kindle for PC and disable the automatic updates. On the newest versions of Mac OS, you can no longer install the 32-bit apps. However, as you do have an eink Kindle, you can use the "download and transfer via USB" option on the Amazon Your content and devices page, that will give you a book file you can import to Calibre and liberate. You'll find more specific instructions on the Apprentice Alf's blog.
As an alternative, you could buy ebooks also from Kobo or Google Play. You can download your purchased epub files via Adobe Digital Editions, import to Calibre and convert to azw3 for your Kindle.
