When you plug your Kindle in, a big Kindle icon appears on the top menu and you can browse the contents by clicking on it. How is that unintuitive?


Okay. Where are my bought books not currently on Kindle? I've already logged into my Kindle account.


Amazon doesn't provide any APIs for querying your non-device Kindle library, so naturally you won't see those books in Calibre.

But, you can integrate Amazon's email-to-Kindle feature with Calibre [1] so new books are automatically added to your Calibre library as well.

Okay. Would be great if Calibre told you that.

After it prompts me for my Amazon password I sure expect those books to show up.

As I said, the UI/UX is very confusing.
