I hope this is in the right place...

I have a few books that I have in iphone kindle and stanza. I'm trying to convert the books I have in the Kindle to read in stanza or my new nifty non-kindle ereader. Only problem is, I have no clue where these books would be located on my mac. I checked my itunes folder, but I only see the kindle app.

Does anyone know or is this not possible?

Thanks a bunch!

If the e-books you are trying to convert to Stanza were purchased through Amazon, there is no way that I am aware of to get them "out" of the Kindle world. That content is encrypted with Amazon's DRM and is not really stored on your computer, but instead is downloaded over the air from Amazon's servers right into the Kindle app.

If it is any consolation, Amazon keeps track of the books you buy and they can be downloaded again onto any Kindle device for reading at a later time.
