list of kindle books

[Gardenman]

Is there a way to print out a list of all my kindle books?

I’m sure others have better answers, but it seems to me one way would be to sync your Amazon account with a Goodreads account, which would add all your Kindle books (if you haven’t done so already); GR has a print function for book lists.

I’m not saying it’s elegant, but it should work.

Syncing accounts doesn’t do this. You still have to add books to GR one click at a time.

I think calibre could generate such a list from what is downloaded to a Kindle, but with a large library it might not be feasible to download everything.

Oh, ouch, thanks for the correction. I’ve never linked my accounts as I figure Jeff has quite enough info on me already without my helping him out, but I assumed that once you linked the accounts the data were shared between them.

If you right click on the brown Convert books button at the bottom of its menu is "Create a catalog ..."

Or, if you click on the Preferences button, in the Plugins section there's a section Catalog generator; perhaps one of those can generate what you want.

What I want to do is check my amazon book list against calibre to make sure I have everything in calibre

A list of your current books can be found on your computer if you already have Kindle for PC app on it. If not, then download it. When you do, run it so that it shows what books you have in your library. Then close the app. Then (I use an older version of Kindle for PC that sitll uses the Calibe accepted .azw formats) but on my computer the following document

"C:\Users\UserName\AppData\Local\Amazon\Kindle\Cac he\KindleSyncMetadataCache.xml

Open it in excel and you have a list of the current books (library and KindleUnlimited) you own.

There are some caveots of this, Amazon shows the books by the title, but if the book has multilple authors, each author is listed with their own book. SO a book with two authors will be shown two times,each book having only one author. Amazon lists the ASIN number, the date purchased, the title, author and some other info, but thats the most information that I need. If you are saavy with excel you can easily format it to a decent .csv but if you aren't, then it's going to be a pain.

However, it is a way of seeing and getting a list of what you have currently in Amazon.

If you can remove empty columns, split one column into multiple columns, merged duplicate columns into one, then you can easily format the list so that you can import it into Calibre or just have a nice printout.
