Just a warning the Download and transfer via USB will no longer be an option from 26th of Feb according to Amazon UI.
- Guess my aeroplane mode is never turning off now.
  
  Download your the Amazon UI or use this tool while you can though.

Semi-related, but several years ago I had a good experience getting my audiobooks from audible with https://github.com/rmcrackan/Libation
- Libation and OpenAudible are amazing.

Typical, I've just spent several hours over the last few days downloading everything manually 😫
- Same here lol, glad to see it's easier for everyone else now though!

Did this for my dad a year ago, got him a Boox and set up calibre. Between libraries and drm free sources Ive got him almost completely off of amazon.
- How's the battery life? I have the first gen and it keep crashing and battery drained down so fast.
- Boox is the best, I've got to read using the app I want (moon reader), got to install whatever news apps I want
  
  Yeah...I did a lot a research before landing on Boox, and it 100% is the best. Pricey tho.
  
  How is screen clarity? Which model did you get? Did you use a kindle prior for comparison?

Well, it doesn't find my books. :(
Correction, got it to work.
Next step, unscrambling the books.
Edit: And, done. (there weren't that many books, 460 in total).

Just get a Kobo. Don't support Amazon surveillance
- I guess that tool helps with this transition
  
  Definitely. My response was probably a little glib.
  Tools like this, that help people escape locked down systems are worth their weight in gold.
- Doesn't Kobo use Adobe DRM? I don't see how that's much better than Kindle.
  I have a bunch of books from both stores, and Google too. The downloading and DRM removal process was about the same for all of them.
  
  They’re allegedly working with bookshop.org so at least you’ll be able to support a local bookstore.
- The point of this is to take what you already bought from Amazon with you when switching.
