Each book will appear in a separate subdirectory of the 'My Kindle Content' folder with a file extension of '.azw'. The Kindle for PC and Kindle for Mac programs use Amazon's KFX format for most books. There is also a new method (#6) using an old version of the Kindle for Android app described here.

(Details in this thread.)This means that methods 1, 2, and 4 described below are no longer effective for those books.

Throughout the post, it was never said it wasn't illegal, just that you're unlikely to get in trouble for it.Important update: Amazon has made a change to their service so the books published since can no longer be downloaded using Kindle for PC or Mac versions prior to 1.39. Pretty much the only way to get caught doing it is if you go to the copyright owner, tell them you stripped the DRM from your own personal copy, and then force them to press charges against you. Also, it is highly unlikely that it'll be brought up in court, due to a lack of knowledge of the act by those with the ability to bring it up in court. How is he wrong? He simply stated that removing DRM has never been brought up in court (which is true), and that removing DRM is different than distributing copyrighted works without permission. I'm not saying I like it, that's just the law as it was written.

The DCMA also specifically states that removing digital locks is not allowable for fair use. to enact the ACTA, the day could come that it IS enforced. The fact that no one is enforcing it doesn't mean it's not a law. The DCMA made removing digital locks a criminal offense.
