I appreciate this! This export all of my titles, but did not export any additional details like author information. Would love if that would be captured.

if you'd like some of the extra properties, use this. I've commented out the percentageRead (as it always shows 0 for me), originType (same for all my books) and mangaOrComicAsin (not relevant for my stuff) - but you remove all the // preceding those lines, you'll get everything

it looks like that all authors are included in a single item in an array, but this code will deal with additional items

finally, the search order is changed to use the order of purchase - which will make it easier to identify just new items when exporting the list again later

@pdollar88 @betsy-2063 @darryllee - very late but just in case you're interested...

thanks so much to @usayamadx - really appreciate this!

I improved upon @usayamadx logic and made a Chrome extension to solve this problem: Kindle Book List Exporter

You can now get a csv file in 1 click. No need to deal with any code or console.

Please let me know if it works for you.

THANKS @usayamadx ! Awesome.
I, too, had something that prevented the download. I put it in a blob and it works great:

// init
let xhr = new XMLHttpRequest()
let domain = 'https://read.amazon.com/'
let items = []
let csvData = ""

const formatBook = item => '"' + item.asin + '","' + item.title + '","' + (item.authors || [])[0] + '"\n';

// function
function getItemsList(paginationToken = null) {
let url = domain + 'kindle-library/search?query=&libraryType=BOOKS' + ( paginationToken ? '&paginationToken=' + paginationToken : '' ) + '&sortType=recency&querySize=50'
xhr.open('GET', url, false)
xhr.send()
}

// request result
xhr.onreadystatechange = function() {
switch ( xhr.readyState ) {
case 0:
console.log('uninitialized')
break
case 1:
console.log('loading...')
break
case 4:
if(xhr.status == 200) {
let data = xhr.responseText
data = JSON.parse(data)
if(data.itemsList) {
items.push(...data.itemsList)
}
if(data.paginationToken) {
getItemsList(data.paginationToken)
}
} else {
console.log('Failed')
}
break
}
}

// action
getItemsList()

// to csv
items.forEach(item => {
csvData += formatBook(item);
})
const blobCSV = new Blob([csvData], {type: 'text/plain;charset=utf-8'});
blobURL = URL.createObjectURL(blobCSV);
window.location = blobURL;
