I tried connecting my Kindle to my PC via USB and then try to access the files from there, but I can't find the files that actually contain the book. I'm not sure if I'm doing something wrong, or if this just isn't possible. How can I download eBooks from my Kindle to my PC?
  
  
  
  The Kindle is a Kindle Paperwhite and the laptop is an Ubuntu. Not sure if that matters, though.
upvoted_answer: Calibre, on the other hand allows one to edit epub books, convert between file types and generally maintain your ebook library on your computer. You can then send them to your various readers. Some of those features require removal of DRM to do but there are many public domain ebooks.
