Ah, no. Amazon encrypts files with a unique id derived from the specific device it was downloaded on. If you own 2 different iPads, both of which sync to the exact same Kindle account, they will have 2 different keys.

Without knowing which device the file is from, you can't liberate the data. That means saving the files does you no good. (Sorry.) If you want to de-DRM, do it now.
