But as far as I know there isn't; it's a matter of setting up the de-DRM plugin, opening each new title in Kindle for PC, having taken steps to avoid the software updating, and manually importing each one, finding the right file to import (given that they are named in random characters), etc. Rinse and repeat for Kobo, and any other source. Yes, the result is worth having, but it's not a simple, user-friendly process; and some sort of simple index of 'all my e-books' seemed far more friendly.

As to finding the right file to import, there's the wonderful Alissa's MobiHandler, which still works with Windows 10. It displays the titles for the Kindle books in the Kindle for PC folder. I've found it to be indispensable, even though I mostly use the transfer via computer method, having several eink Kindles.
