I personally have a bunch of Kindle purchases, but have read them through Amazon provided apps on iPad and laptop.
The github repo (https://github.com/treetrum/amazon-kindle-bulk-downloader) clearly states that you need to have a physical Kindle device linked to your Amazon account, for the download API/service to work with your credentials.

“The most important pre-requisite is that you have a physical e-ink Kindle or an Amazon Fire Tablet linked to your Amazon account. This is a requirement from Amazon’s side and this tool does not offer a way to bypass this.

An important distinction is that the physical Kindle you have linked cannot be one of the latest 2024 models. For whatever reason, Amazon has decided to block the ability to download books from these devices. This tool will not work with these devices.”

Getting your hands on the right Kindle device, if you don’t already have one, might not be possible before February 26.

They have to try running Doom first. I think that’s some kind of law. 😂

There are so many interesting aspects possibly at play.
