I love my calibre catalogs with all the descriptions and meta data for all my books.
I get most of my books from Amazon which I read on my kindle.

I used to download all my books to my PC, transfer them into the Calibre library via USB and create the catalog in Calibre and then copy the catalog into the Kindle.

But now that Amazon has cracked down on download and transfer via USB, I don't know how to get my books into Calibre such that I can create a catalog.

At this point, I just want the catalog. Downloading the book to calibre in order to read it is a lower priority. If I can just get the title, description and my personal tags which have my rating and whether or not I've read the book) I'll live with that.
