Works like a charm, many thanks!!

wow you are amazing! thanks so much

I can't understand why Amazon has such a cumbersome way of deleting personal documents. I was able to delete 4 at a time if I was quick enough. It took soooo long. When you send yourself 4 newsfeeds from calibre automatically everyday, they add up real quick.

I do have one question... does the "delete all" delete only all the ones in your filter or does it completely empty it? I would go ahead and try it out myself but I do not to empty the entire thing...

It removes all of your personal documents not the filtered ones. (You might need to use it several times to delete all of the archive .)

Hey, it does actually work in Safari with JavaScript debugging on...
Via Developer toolbar...

Holy Scheiße! That works perfectly! I send newspapers via calibre to my Kindle, and I had pages of personal document to delete!

Thank you, Thank you!

I'm embarrassed to say I was about to give up on this working for me until I realized that the View drop down had to be on Personal Documents. This should have been obvious from your screenshot but I still missed it :-). This works perfectly and allowed me to delete a couple of hundred calibre newsfeeds from my archive. It's much more manageable now. Thanks again.

Thanks so much for this! I just replace "Personal Documents" in the script with "Newspapers", and deleted a few pages of archived newspapers (one page at a time, of course).
javascript

function(){ var v = new RegExp("Newspapers"); if (!v.test(document.URL)) { return false; } {a=document.getElementsByClassName('rowBodyCollaps ed');for(var i = 0; i<a.length; i++){Fion.deleteItem('deleteItem_'+a[i].getAttribute('asin'));};return; }})();http://

Thanks much for this! I just replaced "Personal Documents" in the script with "Newspapers" (as below) and removed all of my archived newspapers.

Code:

javascript:(function(){ var v = new RegExp("Newspapers"); if (!v.test(document.URL)) { return false; } {a=document.getElementsByClassName('rowBodyCollapsed');for(var i = 0; i<a.length; i++){Fion.deleteItem('deleteItem_'+a[i].getAttribute('asin'));};return; }})();

The administration page for your Kindle content (called FIONA) is what inspired me to start working on something better. So far I have assembled the bits and pieces on how the bloody thing works, and used that info to create a minimal python library along with a minimal sample program that uses it.

Basically it is just using the underlying server API that the userscript/bookmarklet is indirectly using through the extremely badly written Javascript code from Amazon. In that regard it can serve as a basis for something written for a browser. As in something larger than the little bookmarklet. Perhaps a plugin for Chrome that can manage content? I was thinking of filtering on title, mass deletes, and such. Would that be interesting?
