Hey nichodges -- I'd love a beta account for kindred.it. I've been seriously wanting something like that ever since I got a Kindle a few years ago and am completely amazed that what Amazon offers in terms of highlight management is so extremely poor. I'm also curious about the tech under it.

- nichodges 14y agoYep unfortunately there's no public API supplied. There's a few different methods out there that I've had variable amounts of success with.
