daffy4u is correct about reading an Amazon Kindle book on your computer, you have to use the Kindle for PC application to get the book in a readable form.
You can, however, backup all of the files on your Kindle on to your computer pretty easily.
Plug in the Kindle with the USB cable. It behaves just like an external hard drive, so you can drag or copy & paste files from (or to) your kindle to your computer. The kindle books are located in the "Documents" directory (folder) of your Kindle.
