"content": "You've probably heard of it by now: Amazon will prevent downloading your ebooks via USB transfer for offline use in 7 days (Febr. 26th). This handy browser skript will help you download your library in batches of 25 at a time instead of having to manually click and download _every_single_ ebook. You don't need any programming knowledge, just this script by Chris Hollindale (not me) and the browser extension Tampermonkey. \n\nhttps://github.com/chrishol/greasemonkey-scripts/blob/main/download-all-kindle-books.js\n\nFirefox https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/tampermonkey/\nChrome https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/tampermonkey/\n\nBut why should you download your ebooks to your own computer? Many people bought a Kindle to read books offline in the first place. Or you use Linux and can't or don't want to \"just use the Kindle app\". Or your Kindle is old and doesn't have Wifi. Or you may want to use a Kobo or another reader in the future. And last but not least - Amazon has removed ebooks from users Kindle devices in the past (including a version of Orwell's 1984 - of all books 🙄 ). \n\n#kindle #books #bookstodon #enshittification\n\nhttps://mstdn.games/system/media_attachments/files/114/030/814/426/298/473/original/8abe807915b11ff8.png",
