is it a amazon.cn account？

[yihong0618]

if it is amazon.com
you need add“—com”

[windbelike]

is it a amazon.cn account？

yes, it is

[yihong0618]

unset your http_proxy and try again

unset http_proxy
unset https_proxy
maybe socks proxy either

I tried it, and it works the same.
What's more, I got this error while authenticating all the time.
BTW, I modify arb and request_id to 'x' while showing it here.

Sure, I just verified my email and password again by pasting the values from my terminal, then I login www.amazon.cn successfully.
I don't have a kindle though :)

so all things are fine？

[windbelike]

No, Login manually in the web is fine, however the no_kindle.py command is still not working.

This could be due to the fact that you have enabled 2-step authentication. In order to use the script, I recommend temporarily disabling it. Once that's done, you should be able to download books. However, I suggest making some revisions to the "no_kindle.py" file so that it can accept the same arguments as "kindle.py".

thanks for helping, but I did not enable the 2 - step authentication for my account, just checked my account configuration.

thanks for the info.
And FYI
the reason we do not do this is kindle login method maybe ban by amazon that we can drop them easily(^-^)

The scripts work almost fine after I updated the Python version to 3.10.

[youniverse-zhao]

It worked perfectly for me with Python 3.11.3. No proxy, no 2-step verification.

Many thanks and great job @yihong0618 !
