Jason Snell at Six Colors has a nice article about the end of downloadable Kindle apps and how to handle the situation.
For no reason what so ever, this DRM stripper for Calibre seems like quite a useful tool. You’ll need the serial number from your Kindle for it to work. If, hypothetically, I were to do this, I would look in the settings for this information. I would also take a look at this guide.
