<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://mastodon.social/@film_girl" class="u-url mention">@<span>film_girl</span></a></span> glad it helped! Thanks for sharing ❤️</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'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't as bad with around 170'ish titles but this would definitely help for those that have massive libraries to go through.</p>
<p>But it's fast! Downloaded almost all of my books super, super quickly. There were a few errors I'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'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'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'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're not making money on it (i.e. hobbyist/noncommercial/academic project) and it'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'm still potentially interested but we'd have to discuss compensation first (I offer steep discounts vs industry rates as long as you'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&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>
