π Good Books is a curated collection of book recommendations from the world's most successful, influential and interesting people. We've spent 6 months analysing 15,000+ book recommendations and have handpicked the best to add to your reading list.
Let me know who you'd love book recommendations from in the comments and I'll add them to the listπ

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: almost 2 years ago
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...
