Help brain storm
Hi guys!

I have been reading many posts about the whole kindle for PC and trying to find where kindle now days store its books on the PC so that I could used calibre to read my books. Not having any luck at this time
1)I have looked in documents under my kindle no go.
2)I have looked under AppData\Local\Amazon\Kindle\application\content no go
3)I have looked under AppData\Local\Packages\<Package Name>\LocalState or Roaming State or SystemAppData no go.
Reading many post on the forum I followed the advice to download KindleForPC-installer.exe which I managed to do once and its the same problem I thought maybe I got the wrong download and tried again this time it would not let download and showed the windows app store instead.

Have I missed something or has amazon cracked down on the whole thing and we will need to wait around until someone finds a loop?

Thank in advance for the help

Are you certain the new books have downloaded and not in the cloud/archive? Mine sometimes don't download automatically and I have to do it manually.

Here is the link to the win32 (non-metro) version of the Kindle app: http://www.amazon.com/gp/kindle/pc/download
Amazon should stop hiding this.

Yes, the advice you have seen to download the Windows 7 version was correct. The Metro app is worthless for your needs.

I've had a few problems with Kindle for PC and never used it for reading anyway so I finally just uninstalled it. I have a few Kindles but if I didn't I think it might be worth it to buy a used or refurbished basic Kindle anyway just because it's simpler to manage. I download everything "to transfer via usb", I can put the file anywhere I want it, and it has a real name so I can tell which file is which book.

Used Kindles aren't free, though. And it is safe to assume every ebook file needs to be imported, because there is of course no other reason to download to K4PC.
