<p><span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://mastodon.social/@film_girl" class="u-url mention">@<span>film_girl</span></a></span> I cannot get the script to work. It connects fine, then says I have 0 books. My library is 1218 books! Anyone have an idea?</p>
<p><span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://mastodon.social/@film_girl" class="u-url mention">@<span>film_girl</span></a></span> Of course, this falls down if you don’t have a physical Kindle device associated with your account.</p><p>Not good, Bob.</p>

<p><span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://masto.2tonwaffle.com/@joshb" class="u-url mention">@<span>joshb</span></a></span> Yeah with over 500 books, I didn&#39;t want to do anything but do it in bulk!</p>
<p><span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://mastodon.social/@film_girl" class="u-url mention">@<span>film_girl</span></a></span> Went through this process of downloading my books, wasn&#39;t as bad with around 170&#39;ish titles but this would definitely help for those that have massive libraries to go through.</p>
<p>But it&#39;s fast! Downloaded almost all of my books super, super quickly. There were a few errors I&#39;ll have to get manually but this is great. Amazon is shutting this feature off on Feb 26th so get to it!</p>

<p>Amazon is ending the ability to download books off of their servers to your eInk devices that you could later transfer via USB/wireless because of DRM politics and as a result, this makes personal archives harder. But fortunately there is a great bulk downloader tool on GitHub! It&#39;s called Amazon Kindle Bulk Downloader <a href="https://github.com/treetrum/amazon-kindle-bulk-downloader" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">github.com/treetrum/amazon-kin</span><span class="invisible">dle-bulk-downloader</span></a> and it&#39;s pretty easy to use, though you do need to understand things like environmental variables, install bun for your dependency management, etc.</p>
<p>Periodic reminder to the fedi EE / embedded systems community: I have a lot of lab capabilities and resources that the average hobbyist can&#39;t afford, and am willing to offer them up on reasonable terms (i.e. FREE in many cases) to help people out.</p><p>As a general rule if you&#39;re not making money on it (i.e. hobbyist/noncommercial/academic project) and it&#39;s not a major time commitment or consumable cost for me, all I ask is that you pay return shipping if you want the hardware sent back to you afterwards. For anything large or commercial in nature, I&#39;m still potentially interested but we&#39;d have to discuss compensation first (I offer steep discounts vs industry rates as long as you&#39;re not making a profit from the project... think $25-50 an hour for something an industry lab would charge several hundred for)</p><p>Capabilities and equipment available:<br />* 3D planar EM simulation (Sonnet Pro)<br />* 5 3/4 digit multimeters (R&amp;S HMC8012)<br />* Various oscilloscopes to 16 GHz BW (PicoScope 6424E, LeCroy WaveRunner 8404M-MS, LeCroy SDA 816Zi-A) plus power rail, current, and differential probes<br />* VNA measurements to 8.5 GHz (PicoVNA 106 / 108)<br />* BERT BER/eye pattern/bathtub curve measurements to 28 Gbps (MultiLane ML4039-BTP)<br />* Vector signal generation to 6 GHz (Siglent SSG5060X-V)<br />* Fine pitch soldering and PCB rework, BGA assembly, inner layer circuit edits, etc<br />* Low magnification stereo microscopy<br />* High magnification reflected light optical microscopy to ~300nm resolution, including large area automated step-and-repeat scanning and stitching of multi-gigapixel datasets<br />* Coming soon: Embedding and cross section polishing for failure analysis etc</p>
