Reverse engineering the Kindle web management api

A utility library of functions that makes it possible to interact with Amazon's FIONA system for administrating the titles on your Kindle. Not yet expanded to a full program, just some examples on how to use it.

There's also a javascript implementation, that has some notes on the new 2017 API.

Other

There are also some notes (in Norwegian and English) I jotted down while trying to find out how Amazon's FIONA system for managing your Kindle archive is working, and how I was supposed to use curl to get in.

Thankfully I abandened the idea of scripting this in Bash + cURL, and starting hacking on a Python version using the Requests library and BeautifulSoup. Some hours later I finally got in :-)
