    If your book on Kindle is DRM protected, you need Calibre + DeDRM plugin.

    I ripped all my books from Kindle before moving to another e-book reader

    Try Library Genesis in future. Calibre DeDRM doesn’t work with the latest Amazon book format iirc, though it may have changed.

    Calibre allows you to maintain a library of you ebooks and sync it with devices (including Kindle). It is also able to convert the ebooks to all formats you need.

    I mostly use it to get ebooks from z-lib and put them on my Kindle. But it works the other way around, too.

      Kindle isn’t based on Android; it’s bare Linux with heavy DRM and a very limited ebook reader app on it. Whether the MacOS kindle app would help, I don’t know.

    Couldn’t you just log into your kindle account and download them to your Mac directly since you already have them purchased

    Last time I did probably close enough to this (kindle ebook to drm free format that works on anything), I had to use a patched old version of the kindle desktop program together with calibre and some drm removal plugin. The ebook had to be downloaded for the first time with the patched client or you would be stuck with the newer drm that at the time and probably still now hasn’t been figured out.
