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 a 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 convert Kindle books, mainly Kindle .azw formats, to EPUB for the 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 is 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 converting ebook formats.
Below are the steps to convert Kindle ebooks to ePub.
1Install version 1.34 or lower Kindle for PC.
Run Kindle for PC, log in to your Amazon account and start downloading your Kindle books.
2 Download and install Epubor Ultimate.
3 Remove Kindle DRM.
Launch Epubor Ultimate, all Kindle books download via the Kindle will show up under the Kindle tab. Select all the Kindle titles and drag and drop them to the right main window to remove DRM.
4 Convert Kindle to epub.
Select EPUB as the output format and hit the convert button. After the conversion, it says Succeeded to the right of the book title. You will find the epub file by clicking Succeeded.
For Mac users, you should follow this 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 Apple Book App as well. That's so amazing, isn't it?

Hey,
Sure the process seems easy but where do I find these kindle books?? Where is the folder?
For your information, I downloaded the books via PC from amazon and can view and Download&pin via kindle cloud reader, but I cannot find the ebooks anywhere on my PC.
If I cannot even find it, it completely defeats the 'usefulness' of this application.
Hi,
If you download your books via Kindle for PC, they are always saved in the default folder: ...Users\Administrator\Documents\My Kindle Content.
If you can not find them, you can try to click Tools-->Options-->Content on your Kindle for PC to find your Kindle current content folder.
Thanks.
