I boosted this a while ago, but I’m “quote-boosting” it to increase the chances of people seeing it.
If you’ve bought Kindle books on Amazon, you have until the 26th February to download them as files!
(Once you’ve downloaded them, you can strip the DRM; instructions in the boosted post. But download them first and then figure that out, okay?)

For any readers who go "huh": It is possible to download all your Amazon ebooks, remove their DRM with DeDRM, make some backups and, if desired, delete your Amazon account. Well, until February 26th it is possible, so do it now before they are lost forever.

Amazing! I wish I had it yesterday, before I downloaded hundreds manually, but glad to have it today to get them all.
I'm on a Mac so it didn't work until I installed XQuartz and added it to my path.
I removed the PyVirtualDisplay parts so XQuartz wouldn't be required; I think it's only needed on Linux and only if you want to use the `--showbrowser` parameter (for me Chrome wasn't headless anyway).
