Order history will not export your digital content history. All the various options that used to work, like pulling the content and devices page into developer tools and then cutting and pasting and parsing out the titles and authors no longer work since Amazon limits the display of digital content to only 200 items per page. I cannot for the life of me get the same sort of list of all kindle books. I can cause Calibre to export a list of all the books in my library.

I know all the book files are in the My Kindle Content folder in Documents in my user space. I’m only missing about 100 books, not too many to add in by hand if I can figure out which ones they are! After all, I have about 800 books purchased in Kindle and about 700 in Calibra. Simple solution, get the 2 sets of lists into files and compare them by hand. So I decided to first figure out which books were missing from my Calibre Library as compared to the Kindle library. That requires that I know where all the book files are, know which ones have already been entered into Calibre and which ones are not yet entered.

I want to have, in Calibre, a clean set of all my kindle books all without DRM as a spare backup copy. So then I backed out to what is the goal: Several hours of trying to figure out how to automate that process and I gave up. azw file by hand or create a zip file in a special format that contains all the books. There are tools to decryot and de-DRM the new files but they require that you either individually navigate to each sub folder and select the. But then I ran into the problem that the newer version of Kindle books consist of a different format and Calibre cannot import them automatically. The solution to process sub folders in Hazel works just fine. OK I’m way down a rabbit hole and can’t climb out…
