I'm very interested in this. I read a lot of books that aren't from Amazon on my Kindle. I do a lot of highlighting, which I like to export to readwise.
In order to do this I have to plug in my Kindle. Mount it. Find the clippings file. Upload the file to readwise.
The best I came up with was a script that detects when I plug-in my Kindle and opens the finder window and opens the readwise page. Pretty lame.
- sushicalculus 6y agoCould you post this script to somewhere? Gist, codepen, etc? I want to see if can improve it. There might be a way to have the terminal auto-copy the clippings file
- farss 6y agoHere's a similar script I wrote. Would be glad for feedback. https://github.com/wneuheisel/Kindle-Notes-Backup https://github.com/wneuheisel/Kindle-Notes-Backup
- kilroy123 6y agoOh awesome. I see you spent much longer than my 30 minutes on this. I'm going to take a good look at this later.
- ptbrowne 6y agoUnfoturnately, Amazon does not sync highlights on books that have not been purchased on Amazon. This is also why Readwise cannot automatically sync those highlights. https://help.readwise.io/article/67-some-of-my-kindle-books-and-highlights-arent-syncing-what-do-i-do https://help.readwise.io/article/67-some-of-my-kindle-books-...
