Hi All,
Is there a way to get Amazon Kindle books off
an android tablet and onto Fedora?

: Calibre is primarily a ebook cataloging program. It manages your ebook
: collection for you. It is designed around the concept of the logical book,
: i.e. a single entry in the database that may correspond to ebooks in
several

: Supported input formats are: MOBI, LIT, PRC, EPUB, CHM, ODT, HTML, CBR,
CBZ,

Presumably your books are in a Kindle app on the tablet, but if you
can't copy them directly, they can be downloaded from your Amazon
account in any modern browser, and loaded into Calibre. If you have a
e-ink Kindle you can just plug it into a USB port and Calibre will read
from it directly.
Note that most commercially available Kindle books (though not all) are
DRM-protected. Calibre can still read them, but to convert to other
formats requires a 3rd-party plugin.
