(Relatively) easy instructions for downloading Kindle ebooks before the deadline, which is today or tomorrow
Wednesday, February 26, 2025
From the Department of Doing Thing at the Last Minute: I think I was able to successfully use these instructions to batch-download all my Kindle books before Amazon switches off that capability tonight or tomorrow. The instructions require installing the Tampermonkey Chrome extension, cutting-and-pasting a script into the extension’s configuration window and then letting the script run in the background.
As I type this, the script has been running for four hours and is only a third of the way through. That’s OK; I can just let it run in the background until it’s done.
I had previously found these instructions, which require more advanced command-line skills than I possess.
Sucks that Amazon can get away with making this change. I am far less likely to buy more ebooks from them after this rugpull.
