How do I find my Kindle My Clippings.txt file?
Connect your Kindle to your computer with USB, open the Kindle drive, then look for My Clippings.txt in the documents folder.
Can I export Kindle highlights as JSON?
Yes. The JSON export groups entries by book and places highlights, notes, and bookmarks under a highlights key for each book.
Can I export Kindle highlights as CSV?
Yes. The CSV export creates one row per clipping and repeats book metadata, including enriched fields like ISBN and cover URL, on each highlight row.
What does Google Books enrichment add?
When a confident match is found, enrichment can add cover image URL, ISBN, publisher, published date, page count, language, and Google Books links.
Are my Kindle highlights sent to the server?
No. Highlight text is parsed in your browser. If enrichment is enabled, only unique book titles and authors are sent to the anonymous enrichment function.
Does it work with notes and bookmarks?
Yes. Highlights, notes, and bookmarks from My Clippings.txt are preserved. Bookmarks often have no text content, so their metadata is still exported.
What if a book cover or ISBN is missing?
The export still works. Missing covers or ISBNs usually mean Google Books did not return one confident title and author match for that book.
