My solution really is to download the relevant HTML files by hand, while being logged in with your browser. Only after that you will be able to use my python script.

Downloading the 65 pages by hand sounds painful, so in that case you might want to write a Greasemonkey script to do that. On the other hand, I would most certainly do this by hand.

I tried to use Trill / Mechanize to log into Amazon but their code is currently buggy and cannot parse Amazon's HTML correctly.

Any help would be appreciated -- I have 65 pages of owned books that I want to export! :)

http://www.librarything.com/wiki/index.php/Adding_and_importing_books

so probably you can just sign up there and then (hopefully, haven't been there) import from Amazon and export to ISBN. Anyway, with the script I wrote there is no need to create an account at LibraryThing.
