Open Source Java app for organizing Kindle clippings by book title.
By default, on the Amazon site, you can only sort through your Kindle notes and highlights by title for Amazon-bought books. For all other documents, this information is added to a single MyClippings.txt file which can quickly become lengthy and difficult to navigate.
OpenKlippings allows you to sort through your Kindle notes and highlights by exporting each title to a separate text file, regardless of whether they were purchased from Amazon or not.
Git clone or download and extract OpenKlippings.
Open the OpenKlippings folder and double click OpenKlippings.jar
git clone https://github.com/AObuchow/OpenKlippings/
cd OpenKlippings/
java -jar OpenKlippings.jar
- Click on the
button and browse to your MyClippings.txtfile and select it.
The MyClippings.txt file should be located in the documents folder of your Kindle.
For example, on a Linux system it would be something like /run/media/username/Kindle/documents/MyClippings.txt
- Click on the
button and browse to the folder where you want your book quote files to be exported to. - Click
and enjoy viewing your notes and highlights. They are now organized into separate files per title, in the export path you chose.
Although OpenKlippings is functional, feel free to submit a pull request if you end up improving it. All help is greatly appreciated!
If you find a bug or have a feature request, you can report it in the issues section of this repo, and I will try to address it as soon as I can.
