I built a free desktop app (Mac/Win/Linux) to bulk-send thousands of Kindle books to

I have over 5,200 Kindle books (200+ pages on Amazon's Manage Your Content and Devices page). Whenever I get a new iPad, phone, or Kindle, sending my unread books to the new device is a nightmare because Amazon's "Select All" only selects 25 books on the current page—and there's no built-in way to skip books already marked as Read.

So I built Kindle Bulk Downloader, a 100% free standalone desktop app for macOS (Apple Silicon & Intel), Windows, and Linux:
  • Multi-Page Automation: Choose how many pages to process (1 to 500 pages, 25 books/page) starting from whichever page or filter (including Family Library) is open.
  • Skips "Already Read" Books: Automatically checks each book's read status and only delivers unread books to your new device.
  • Skips Books Already on Your Device: Won't waste time re-sending books that are already delivered.
  • Auto-Detects Your Devices: Scans your Amazon page and lets you pick your target Kindle, iPad, or phone from a dropdown, with Pause/Resume/Stop controls.
  • 100% Local & Private: You sign into Amazon directly inside the built-in browser window—no passwords or data ever leave your computer.

Free Download (Mac, Windows, Linux): https://jamesrome.com/kindle-bulk-downloader

Hope this saves anyone else with a massive Kindle backlog a few hours of clicking!

What if someone wants to reread a book that's marked as read?

They would probably be looking for it by title then, and could easily download that one without the new software. So I would think, in most cases.

When I get a new device I download EVERYTHING in my library to it, no matter if I’ve read it or not. So this wouldn’t help at all for someone like me. Having just bought my new 32gb basic last month I hope not to go through it again for a very long time!

Thanks for sharing. Sounds promising.

A shame you haven't provided a screenshot, because sometimes images speak louder than words.

Going by my quick read of the web page linked to, I am guessing we get a good amount of control over things like that.
