Has anyone else here tried either the TamperMonkey Amazon Kindle Downloader script or the Python BulkKindleUSBDownloader scripts to download their Kindle libraries before 2025-Feb-26?

The TamperMonkey script worked under Firefox on Windows but the Bulk USB Downloader script worked under Windows but quite a few books downloaded as 0 length file which seemed to be tied to the filenames needing sanitization. Under Linux, it ran happily and only missed two books though some of them downloaded as .az or .a and had to be renamed before being usable.
I didn't try those 2, but I did try download-all-kindle-books.js with Tampermonkey in firefox and it worked greast! You have to manually change pages and trigger the script on each page, but it downloaded all 25 books per page just fine. If you have multiple kindles, just be aware that it uses the first kindle in the list.

I did make 2 changes based on feedback I saw (reddit?). On line 7 I changed "booksAll" to "booksPurchases" and line 91 I changed the time delay between downloads from 14000 to 5000. Neither of those is necessary though.

So, I still had to click through 59 pages, but at least I didn't have to click and download 25 books on every page!
