Techniques and Tools: kindle.amazon.com vs. clippings.io
One thing I love about ebooks is the ability to highlight and add notes, and then collect them all up later on for reference or anything else I might choose. Amazon has a pretty good setup: the highlights and notes you make are uploaded to kindle.amazon.com. Which is nice, you can go up there and get at all of those highlights and do some simple editing and such.
Except for one thing, you cannot upload highlights from non-kindle books. That means no notes or highlights from all of your humblebundle books, or pdfs, or Project Gutenberg books.
Or if you are like me, uploading to kindle.amazon.com just does not work on for you anymore. Rather than descend into the morass that is the amazon support forums to figure out what setting is wrong on my Kindle, I have found clippings.io.
clippings.io has a much smoother, more modern UI, while kindle.amazon.com has not been updated in years. And, clippings.io has a nice set tools for importing right off your Kindle. But, what has made me a huge fan, is that clippings.io provides everything kindle.amazon.com does for all books. I love that I can get at the notes and highlights for all of my books, and not just the Kindle books.
Checkout clippings.io if you loved kindle.amazon.com in the past or try out either of them if you had never thought of what you could do with highlights off you Kindle.
