Clippings.io Reviews and details

Social recommendations and mentions

• Where do you keep your notes/translations when reading physical books?

  If you don't like the process of making the cards, you could try exporting the words or sentences from kindle into Anki. I like to use clippings.io. These were some of my highlights from The Little Prince. Unsurprisngly there's also a DeepL add-on for Anki for mass translations. Source: over 1 year ago

• Remove duplicate highlight entries in your "My Clippings.txt"!

  I used my yesterday's evening to create a small JS script to remove automatically more than 90% of duplicate entries (at least for me :P). As far as I know, there isn't any working script/program to do this with the latest kindles or nothing maintained anymore (if there is, tell me). Also, clippings.io doesn't do anything with their promised "deduplication", so I created this makeshift way of more or less cleanly... Source: over 1 year ago

• Considering buying a kindle

  I was originally "anti-Kindle" (well anti-Amazon tbh) and loyal to a proper paperback/hardback book. When I had to do lots of business travel I tried a Kindle (Voyage) and I'm fully converted. It's not just having all books on one device, it's that the battery last for ages, it's fairly robust (I treat it badly - thrown in travel bag etc) and it still survives...but, the huge thing for me was Wiki, Dictionary and...

• Is there a difference between myclippings.txt on a Kindle 7th Gen and 11th Gen?

  Are all tools /websites compatible such as clippings.io? Source: almost 2 years ago

• Import to Evernote/Keep

  In the past I used clippings.io to import "My Clippings.txt" and then to export to Evernote, sadly the author went nuts and now charges in Russian gold. Source: about 2 years ago

• I've had a few Kindles through the years, and even though I can see my personal documents highlights on the device, I can't export/see/download them on my PC. Is there a way to do that?

  Clippings.io is great, but it only works with amazon-purchased books. Source: about 2 years ago

• Struggling with "My Clippings"

  Worked amazingly and it's integrated to notion. This is an alternative to clippings.io and readwise, but differently, it is free. Source: over 2 years ago

• Downloading notes from personal documents on Kindle Fire

  Anyone know if there is a way to download these notes in one go, via clippings.io or another route? It seems I could go through and email each set of notes to myself individually but as there are a couple of hundred annotated books in there I'd rather not... Many thanks. Source: over 2 years ago

• Just upgraded to the new Paperwhite. Where are my bookmarks / highlights?

  Ok, thanks. So if I'm getting this right, because I already traded in my old kindle (which had the notes/highlights in the books), I'm essentially starting from zero, yeah? Or does that metadata live in my Calibre library as well, maybe...? Can I get the same functionality (as sending to cloud, and then sending to a new device) from that clippings.io website?

• Just upgraded to the new Paperwhite. Where are my bookmarks / highlights?

  I would love it if I could pop open any of my old books and check out the highlights/bookmarks. What can I do about this? Do I have to go in and manually re-add all of my bookmarks and highlightings on the correct pages of each and every book? Do I just have to upload all of my clippings to some external website, and then get them back on the kindle? Did my use of non-azn books screw me in this regard? I've seen...

• Highlights!

  Can you make one file of all highlights from different formats (Kindle/PDF/EPUB) which would work on for example readwise or clippings.io? Source: over 2 years ago

• What are some good, ideally automated ways to extract highlights, notes and ideally the Xray items?

  I use https://clippings.io . No X-Ray export but that is not likely possible anywhere else either. Source: over 2 years ago

• Is there a free up to date tool to export myclippings.txt?

  Unfortunately, clippings.io is now a paid service and cripples the text. Source: over 2 years ago

• Self-promo Thread — Promote your Notion content here!

  Is there a way to get the clippings.txt file without a Kindle? I tried using clippings.io to create a text file but when I imported the file it didn't import the fields and basically just grabbed the first highlight and ended there. It looks like the kindle windows and android apps do not allow exporting the same way that a physical kindle does. Source: almost 3 years ago

• Amazing work done by u/thedullblackwall, if you haven't tried yet, you must do it now.

  I just got to know that using clippings.io, one can export highlights to OneNote, tried doing that, but it had limit of 100 characters in free version. Looking for alternatives and like a godsend, found this and it works amazingly superb. Just plugin the kindle, install python and run the scripts, voila all your highlights in Notion.

• Alternative to Clippings.io?

  And clippings.io is segregating notes by books. I think, if we jump from book to book, our highlights gets messed up in the clippings.txt, this website is doing a pretty good job, but just wondering is there any free alternative. Source: almost 3 years ago
