The Kindle books on my iPad (and my wife's) were downloaded from the old account.

Amazon support says that they cannot migrate Kindle books from the old, inactive account to the new account.

I'm looking for a way to convert the Kindle books now on the iPads to a format that can be saved on the iPad, MacBook or both. Perhaps there is a way to save Kindle book files to the Mac, where I could then use calibre?

Any ideas will be greatly appreciated. This is making me crazy.

Do you have them downloaded in Kindle for MAC? If so, what version? If they have DRM, you might be able to remove the DRM using Calibre and the DeDRM plugin.
