    Connect the Kindle and then select the book.

    Click "Save to disk" as shown below.

    I want to move the books from my kindle to Calibre. I cannot access the books once the kindle is connected to the computer. It goes to usb mode and to read or shop I must eject the kindle from the computer.

    I can see the books by clicking on device in calibre once it's connected but doesn't show how to import them.

    edit: I can select a book by clicking on add book but after selecting the book to add from kindle. Struggling with some though.

    Rikki, this is how I've done it in the past.
