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.

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

No, Amazon took that ability away.

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.

Ah thanks, this seems to be what I want. Do you have a link to the steps or something similar?

Kindle is based off Android. I was able to do it on Windows with the help of an app, but I've never had a Mac. Quick Google search led me to this.

I can get my hand on Windows, which app did you use?

Honestly, I don't remember. That's been many years ago and I've engaged in so many projects since then.
