Some of the things you said and more.

I'd like to thank Amazon for continuing to show me the error of my ways.

It's been one thing after another, and so I eventually turned to Kobo for most of my ebook purchases. So in the end, for the last three years or so, I have only been purchasing at Amazon, what isn't available at Kobo or is significantly cheaper at Amazon.

Now it is looking like I might have to bite the bullet and sacrifice getting any ebooks at Amazon. With several thousand Kindle purchases, and still many physical books to read, and plenty of ebooks now at Kobo, which has my preferred reading device anyway, it should not be too much of a hardship.

I'd also like to thank Amazon for lighting a fire under me.

Sometime ago I had started using the Download & transfer via USB option, instead of using the Kindle For PC app, and then gone back and started getting older purchases. However, I had a lot to do, so that soon became something I put off for another day.

This latest action by Amazon, and that wonderful JS script, enabled me to revisit getting the rest, especially when I saw how I could improve things, such that it was full automation to get the rest.

So it could well be - So long and thanks for all the fish ... I mean ebooks.
