Import ebooks to Calibre from Kindle


I'm a bit stumped after reading the manual, and searching this site for answers...

Is there a way to import the ebooks already on my Kindle into Calibre?

The long way of doing this would be to copy the books from /media/Kindle/Documents to /home/krikket/temp and then import the books from the temp directory. But then Calibre sees the books in it's library and the ones on the Kindle as separate books. Sure, I could simply delete the library on the Kindle, but then I'd loose the Collections I've already made... (What can I say? When I've got multiple series going, I like to lump 'em together into a single "folder", to make finding what I want easier...)

Thanks in advance!
