People have been asking for things like that for a long time. Amazon isn't interested because they WANT you to keep all the books in their 'cloud'.
There is no way to do it. Not from Amazon's management page, from any of the apps, from the kindle fire, the paperwhite, the kindle touch, or the Kindle for PC.
They just don't want you to have a backup copy of your books, or have the ability to have good descriptions, to organize your books, etc. None of their devices or software can even reasonably handle all the books I've accumulated.
I've got so many I can't even remember what 10% of them are about, and it's very tedious to use the kindle to look at a description of them one at a time.
Calibre is the only thing on the web for dealing with ebooks. Downloading them (with DRM, of course! I'm not trying to get anybody elses books) in bulk is outside of Calibre's mission statement, but it sure would be handy for lots of people.
If somebody could even come up with a GUI automation script to slowly download them into KPC (although that can't download all types of ebooks), that would be nice.
Or a javascript web page plug in to trigger downloading from the amazon web page. (Some years ago, somebody wrote a script to delete more than one ebook at a time from the library. That's no longer needed with the new MYK webpage, but it does show things can be done.)
I just don't know where else to ask. And I don't really want to have to download them all manually. I could, but I'd rather not spend the time.
