Copy Android Kindle books to PC

In my previous post I explained how to use ADB utility to copy files from Android phone to PC.
If you happened to use Kindle eBook reader on Android and wondered where it stores books bought in Amazon, then it's here:

/sdcard/Android/data/com.amazon.kindle/files

File extension used by Amazon books is .prc
You can copy the file to PC using command like:

adb pull /sdcard/Android/data/com.amazon.kindle/files/B00FOT936Y_EBOK.prc /tmp/

You can also push .prc books to Android similar way:

adb push /tmp/mybook.prc /sdcard/Android/data/com.amazon.kindle/files/mybook.prc

If you bought the book from Amazon then it will be secured with DRM. This is easy to remove, some people do it even though illegal.
