Both those programs are installed on your personal computer. Amazon has no way of searching your hard drive for any files. Nor would they be allowed to. The government if they obtained a warrant could but since they would have no justification for getting one no judge would approve it. Unless of course you were uploading thousands of copies of the books on some torrent somewhere and they could trace it back to you. So you would have a better chance of being hit by lightning than of suffering any penalties. Calibre of course is completely legal. It's just a library program for sorting and storing your books. But even if the government found out you had removed the DRM from your books as long as you had not shared or sold any copies I doubt anything would come of it.
