Kindle Books to iBooks

I downloaded Calibre to convert Kindle books to the iPad/iBooks format. When I download Kindle books to the Kindle App on my iMac, where are the books stored?

MacBook Pro, Mac OS X (10.6), iPhone 3Gs 32GB Black

WHICH FILE IS THE BOOK YOU SEEK?


On the subject of finding where downloaded Kindle books are stored, we have a good answer: look under Kindle on my Mac Preferences, General, to see the path to the folder, & you can even change the location if you wish.


But now, Amazon has made it so that the title of the book does not appear in the file title, instead it is something like B0079X5E2U_EBOK.azw


So, it turns out that B0079X5E2U (for example) is the Amazon Standard Item Number or ASIN. And you can google that number, to find out what the book is. When this becomes widely known I suppose they will encrypt the number as it appears in the title.
