(Hey, the last thing I wished for with regard to the Kindle came true, so who knows?)
I’m on something like my 4th Kindle. Nothing’s been wrong with any of them. I just somehow keep upgrading. *waves hands* That’s not the point.
The point is, I am really really tired of having to re-download all of my content to my device every time I upgrade. I have over 1,000 Kindle titles. I do not want to have to individually download all of these things every time I switch devices. Can someone poke Jeff Bezos and ask him to make a bulk action tool on the “Manage Your Kindle” page?
Thanks!
I wonder if something like Calibre would make the process easier? The Kindle management stuff on Amazon’s page is really terrible.
I’m in the process of manually downloading all 1,000+ books to the Kindle (because, gods help me, it’s actually easier than downloading them to localhost), in the hopes of importing them to calibre and *hopefully* letting calibre handle the management in the future. I’m not 100% sure how well it will work, but it certainly seems to be worth a shot.
I don’t have my kindle on hand to test with at the moment, but could you attach the old kindle via usb, use calibre to copy the files off, then attach the new kindle and load it up?
…. That woulda been clever, had I not wiped the Kindle to give it away. *facepalm*
