Kimono shut down on February 29th, 2016 and the cloud service has been discontinued. It only exists as a desktop app now.

Bought by Palantir, they retired in a good way, keeping people's data available for a moment and communicating well.

It was a great product still complicated to get a practical business model.

This WrapAPI v2 is an alternative I think, but I would use them with care as the economical model is unsure and it seems to be really new, still promising! :)

The desktop app + browser plugin still seem to work fine. I've run into a few things that don't quite work well, like pages that have a combination of click-to-paginate and auto-scroll-paginate, but in general, it's good.
