That could be fun indeed!
I personally love taking highlight to use them as quick references and to synthesise content for learning, so a good execution of this concept is really valuable for me.
From the screenshots I provided we can see highlights really lack context haha. I need to double check I highlighted the content properly or if it's somehow truncated.
I wonder if it's possible to optionally get a bit of extra context around the highlights, probably not as I doubt Amazon provides it in their "API".

Edit: I'm definitely not highlighting properly, but now I know I need to add all the required context to my highlights.

- dfernandez7 7y agoHey! That used to happen to me. Since I know now how I'm gonna use them, I highlight accordingly. In any case, as you mention, Amazon doesn't provide what's necessary to add context (copyrights). However, we can create a link (for books purchased on Amazon) to the location/page and open Kindle App to show you the highlight "in context".
