Just a note: this illustrates one of the annoying trends of certain sites that want clicks - "...for $current_year", when it is no such thing. Anyway, the only method that works now requires an actual Kindle device. The method using Kindle for PC does not work for books pubbed after Jan 2023.

Lol, I worked at a reinsurance company in 1999 - one of my main jobs was the monthly re-IPL of the VW-sized Wang minicomputer. The week after, THE Cobol programmer would commute into the city for 2 days from his Surrey des-res to produce the monthly financials - he got ₤60K p.a. (me, ₤13K).
