Thank you in advance for your help !

Having the same issue, looks like the method for sign out that this plugin uses needs to be updated as the kindle site may have changed.

From what I can tell, it points to https://read.amazon.com and tries to find the link for the sign out button on the page with the id #settings-link-logout. It can't find it in the dom object it gets back so it throws this error.

obsidian-kindle-plugin/src/settings/index.ts

Line 83 in 99cab6e

const signout = await scrapeLogoutUrl();

obsidian-kindle-plugin/src/scraper/scrapeLogoutUrl.ts

Line 14 in 99cab6e

throw new Error('Could not parse logout link');

Looks like the last time this plugin was updated was over a year ago, not sure if we will see a fix from the developer any time soon.

Honestly, I haven't even been able to get any of the Amazon Cloud sync functionality working, only able to use it via manual file upload for now.

I hope this and other issues get fixed since it's a great plugin.

Has anyone found a workaround, other than deleting the plugin from Obsidian?

[realizetm]

seems it won't then allow you the opportunity to sign in when the plugin has been removed, obsidian closed, and then re-added.

Hey everyone. I've just been made aware of this thread today.

It sounds like as you said the method for parsing logout has changed.

Suggested workaround: Open Obsidian dev tools, and clear the app's cookies and sessions. Obsidian is essentially running in a Google Chrome browser. So any instructions online for the latter would work for you.

I am going on extended leave from my job in September so will aim to be active on this plugin's development again then.
