Create a book catalog of Kindle books

Oskar · 03-14-2026, 05:34 AM

I need a book catalog for all the books on my Kindle. That's over 1,000 books. Since newer Kindle devices no longer allow access to the metadata file, I tried Calibre. That doesn't work either, because creating a catalog in Calibre is only possible with books from the Calibre library. Books in the Amazon KFX format, however, cannot be imported into Calibre.
So I can see the books with the Function "Show books in the main memory of the device, but it's not possible to create a catalog because kfx-formated books are not part of the library.
Using the Amazon webside is also not an option because there are lot of bokks from other stores and from books as free souces and also pdf-files I created myself.

Is there any other way to create a catalog of the books on my Kindle?

Please don't post the same message in multiple places.

There are working methods for liberating your Kindle books. You can also create book entries without a file in calibre. Calibre catalogs are based on metadata, the presence of a file is not required.
