Here's a python version inspired by your code that works for multiple pages (relevant lines are 76-81, and 99-103): https://gist.github.com/jaiamo/e2e853174a8652231739c166f4b9fe4c

Also added support for command line flags which let you list all your books, download notes for all your books, or download notes just for a specified title.

This is great. Another tool that gets the job done is Readwise and their Markdown exporter.
