Python Script
So I spent all day making a python program. However, it uses google for the search, and the apis only let you search 100 times a day, so I'm not sure how well it will work, unless I'm missing something. Anyway this is what it does.
Finds all .mobi converted books in a folder called 'ready,' and finds the exact name so no worrying about what it is called or anything.
Searches google for the amazon page of the book, because the Amazon search is kind of weird. Then it collects that link for later on a webpage called readlinglist.html
Finds the asin number, copies it to a new folder called 'copytokindle' and renames the book properly for later use.
