Today I decided it might be a good idea to download all those clicks to the computer and bring them into Calibre so I could convert and load a few on the Kobo.

I appear to have clicked about 1,050 links over those few months!

So now I have K4PC telling me that I have about 1,000 "archived items" but to get them onto the computer it appears I'm going to have to click another 1,000 buttons?

I thought one of the selling points of the Amazon "ecosystem" was the ease of syncing to all devices anywhere/anytime. Is there any way to tell K4PC to download the whole lot in one operation? Or am I condemned to get carpal tunnel?

I found something that might work for you, try this: AutoIt - It uses scripts (with a script editor?) to automate mouse movements and keypresses.

Let me know if that does the trick for you (I've never used it before ... just googled it when I read your message).
