Amazon kindle ebook file type & directory storing them

What's the extension file type of Amazon ebooks?  
Is it .lzw & in which folder of my Windows XP are
they stored?

I've come across ebook that just vanishes, so want
to take a backup.

to restore the files to an old PC (that Amazon has no access), I can read the
ebooks from that PC's Kindle?

Below are some of the files in the above folder :
