Bulk download all your Kindle books, while you can

Today, Feb 26 2025, is the last day that Amazon will allow you to download your Kindle books. Unfortunately, Amazon has no provision for downloading books in bulk. However, some kind individuals have created tools to help with this. I've tried a few, and will share the one that actually worked for me, and step-by-step instructions do use it yourself. This is intended for an audience that are not power users.

What you will need

• Google Chrome
• You can possibly use another browser, but Chrome is the one where it worked for me.

json.dumps, by default, will include a bit of whitespace, using default
separators (', ', ': ') for item_separator and key_separator, respectively.
Flask defaults to a slightly more compact representation, using (',', ':')

# This script downloads and installs Go from http://go.dev. If no version is
# provided, it will install the latest released version as shown by
# https://go.dev/VERSION. If there is already a Go installed, the script will
# replace that installation with the new one (though it will not delete the old
# installation). If a directory exists in BASE_DIR indicating that the
# requested version is already present, the download will be skipped.

# Requirements: curl, GNU stow
