Type of Enhancement

Web Interface/Frontend

Describe the Feature/Enhancement

Would love the option to bulk download / send to kindle.

Why would this be helpful?

At the moment downloading or sending books is done one-by-one, which can be slow and take many clicks if you're trying to update your library with a friend's recent book dump

Future Implementation (Screenshot)

Sorry, I'm not designer but I think you'll get the idea. I could imagine once a user selects more than one item, a button appears to allow bulk download or bulk send to kindle

As far as I know, I have already added Bulk Download (the three dots at the top) in some of the last updates. Make sure you update your instance.

Note that you have no download permission for the demo instance. Why? Idk, never added it

Bulk downloading is already implemented in the Library View. You are trying to use the Home page which has limited bulk options due to having multiple rows (books, series, recently added, and authors). Correction, the bulk options are also available on the Home Page, but appear above the bar in your screenshot. Make sure you have Edit and Download permissions like Vito said.

There seems to be a limit of 40 eBooks to bulk download. After that the download button disappears:

Is it possible to remove that limit?

No. Because this is still a GET request and it has no body we are constraint by a maximum length of the URL.
If you need to download more/your library it's probably best to connect via e.g. FTP.
