And you don't need a Kindle reader to take advantage of the thousands of e-book titles available on Amazon: you can use the Kindle app for Mac to read them right on your computer. Here's what you. When you download the book in your Mac Kindle App, they will now exist in the folders you listed. So if you want all your kindle files on your computer, you need to first download all kindle books via the Mac Kindle App. They will then show up. But they need to remain in that folder for the Kindle Mac app to read the book. Converting Kindle ebooks to ePub format is an indispensable step when we use epub-supported eReaders instead of Kindle devices. Among so many eBook readers, we might not take Kindle preferably. However, among so many eBook stores, books from Amazon Kindle generally come at remarkably cheaper price and of far more diversified genres.

I did call Apple (using my 30 day warranty for installing Snow Leopard) and the tech support person did not even know what a Kindle was.
Amazon says it's an Apple problem.
Apple doesn't seem to have any clue.
I've seen from various threads that USB devices do seem to have intermittent problems. Is the Kindle one such device?

Converting Kindle ebooks to ePub format is an indispensable step when we use epub-supported eReaders instead of Kindle devices. Among so many eBook readers, we might not take Kindle preferably. However, among so many eBook stores, books from Amazon Kindle generally come at remarkably cheaper price and of far more diversified genres. Since Kindle books are formatted as exclusive AZW/MOBI/PRC/TPZ/KFX, we cannot directly read them on iPad, Nook, Kobo, Sony Reader, BlackBerry Playbook and other devices. This guide will show you how to transfer Kindle books, mainly Kindle .azw formats, to EPUB for best reading on non-Kindle gadgets.
Some people might be confused about why would they need this tool, since there are many freeware or online converters out there. However, nearly all purchased Kindle books (.azw/.kfx) are protected by Kindle DRM, which are not supported by those converters. There are indeed some software with DeDRM plugins out there, but personally, none of them is convenient enough. Here we convert purchased Kindle books to Epub by using Epubor Ultimate, which is capable of removing DRM and convert ebook formats.
Below are the steps to convert Kindle ebooks to ePub.
Photoshop free download for mac os x 10.8.5. 1 Launch Epubor Ultimate.
2 Click “Add” button or drag book titles from the left side to the right blank space. Once you add your books, they will be decrypted automatically.

After the conversion, the converted Epub books will be shown in the pop-up window.

1This tool will not be able to handle recent Kindle books if they are downloaded via Kindle desktop version 1.25(or above). The solution is to Downgrade Kindle for PC/Mac to Older Version.
2If you are on Mac Catalina 10.15, just follow the ultimate guide to remove kindle drm and convert kindle books to epub.

As ePub is a widely supported eBook format, now you can even read those books via iBooks. That's so amazing, isn't it?
