Clippings.io for Amazon Kindle Highlights

Not currently working after several days of trying. Not to be overly dramatic but I feel dirty installing a chrome extension that doesn't work. Isn't the lifetime of these things that they become unmaintained and then they turn into (or are sold into) malware? On the other hand, I also understand that scraping is a tough road. Maybe it's bitrot is destiny.

Under maintenance - no response from help. Queued to export for hours now . . . .

Doesn't work at all (tried using Arc, Chrome, and Firefox). The import with the extension errors out. Sending a message to support does nothing.

I used to love this app, but it has not been working properly for weeks now. "Customer service" has not responded to my communication for 16 days. I just paid for another annual subscription and wish I had not as the app is currently worthless for me.

Sadly the import does not work The message appears: > You've already uploaded all the highlights in the books you selected to import. Please make some new highlights and try again. I don't know if this is because I did an import from "My Clippings.txt" before, but I add new highlights and it doesn't recognise through the extension.

Really disappointed as all the highlights of my kindle are not getting uploaded. Most of the highlights are left behind. Hope you will solve the issue.

So disappointed. I purchased the extension because I had read that the Clippings would include timestamps, and I needed a timestamp for a particular highlight I made many months ago. When I exported the file, it had the same timestamp for literally every highlight in the book: midnight yesterday (as though I somehow highlighted dozens of things at exactly the same moment). Not worth the time or money.

Worked at first. No longer. Says it's importing. Says it's finished. Nothing every shows up in Evernote anymore. Terrible.

I've used Clippings.io for a few years, and it's a little tricky, but it has always worked perfectly. It's been about 5 months since my last import, and suddenly now (April 6, 2020), it doesn't seem to be working. I get an error message telling me to update my Chrome extension. I've done what it says to do, and I've got the latest version of Chrome as well, but it isn't working. I hope they will fix it soon. Then I can give it 5 stars again.

I agree with Al Sellaro. I too, liked Clippings.io until I realized that the Evernote export feature was not working (as advertised). The options that were supported in the past are no longer present (at least on my account page). In addition, the option present to reset Evernote integration is not effective in getting (those) options like note creation (whether you want one note per book or one note per annotation) and tagging (choosing whether you want to tag book title and/or author, or even if you want to tag 'annotation' and/or 'clippings.io'.) I too have opened a support ticket and have yet to hear back from the team... Bottom line is that I don't feel that this app/extension is reliable.

Just downloaded but says service is unavailable?

This is great when it works! I find myself having to click through the process over and over again until it eventually downloads the new annotations. I am not sure what it is keeping it from functioning when it doesn't function.

The idea is great until I discovered that if I want to handle more than 100 character of custom notes per highlight it will cost me $5 a month charged yearly ($60). This extension might be a better experience for you if you need anything else than the import/export functionality. But in my opinion a fixed price subscription of $60 a year for a few lines of code that uses published amazon and google drive APIs to import and export notes is a bit too much. Pay per use or pay per character of exported text could be a better model for some.

When Clippings.io works it's great. But this is rare. A paid subscriber for months now, I have had issues with: - extension not recognizing already logged into Kindle highlights - failed repeated attempts (according to pop up message) at imports, and then these suddenly appeared a month or two later as dozens of the same entries - emptying trash repeatedly fails - resetting trash to allow reimport of clippings does not seem to work at all - apparently a lack of a bulk edit method, or at least I can't find one Would certainly like to see this work, as it begins to address Kindle's shortcomings. But it's been an irritating experience, at best.

There's no way to export notes/highlights to Evernote as separate notes - there's one Evernote note per book, with all of the notes/highlights from that book contained within it. This isn't useful for organizing large amounts of notes.

I liked the idea. As I became a premium user, I figured out that the documentation is not in sync with the actual tool's screens. I also realized that the Evernote export feature is not working as expected. The export creates a single Evernote note per book, with many highlights in it. I want to have one Evernote note per highlight. According to the old documentation this was supported. I tried to open a support ticket, but it's been more than a week and I heard nothing back from the team. If you are thinking about a serious workflow using Clippings.io and the extension, think twice.

This appears to only work with books purchased through Amazon. One of the great things about the kindle is that I can send lots of documents to my Kindle for reading and reviewing. But Clippings does not seem to be able to help me see my notes from these documents. $2 a month? I can download my notes file from the Kindle for free.

It does what it promises, and I find the ability to get my notes from Kindle to Evernote is really handy. That said, to make the transfer, there are a lot of hoops to jump through. Either you have to plug a Kindle via USB into your computer and find a folder, etc, or you can use a browser. But in that case you have to be using Chrome, you have to have your Amazon highlights page open on one tab and the clippings.io site open on another, and there are further steps to remember -- or re-learn, if you don't transfer highlights that often -- if you want Evernote integration. It does work, though, and I am not aware of anything better.

Love this - but I agree needs the Evernote export feature to work so I can combine this with other highlighting tools

Why don't You offer this for Safari, too?

I really love that this extension exists, because it's a pain to try and view my Kindle notes and highlights through Amazon.com and being able to import them into Evernote makes accessing them much easier. However, this extension is sort of a pain to use as well, and the format in which the highlights are reproduced in Evernote is messy and difficult to read. So basically this extension was a great idea that was just executed poorly. Still worth the trouble for being able to review my notes without jumping through hoops on Amazon's website, though.

Clunky and awkward to use plus it falls over regular even when signed into Kindle and clippings. The export to Evernote is also glitchy if the import failed to complete properly, which is often. Annoying and frustrating have to waste time repeating the sequence. Feels like 1990's tech all over again. Not seamless.

The extension is clunky. Why does it open another browser tab each time I log in? It feels as if the app only really works in chrome which for those of us who would prefer to live and work in another browser is a negative point. It is worth all of these negatives to gain working access to my Kindle notes!

Figedy, but gets the job done well in the end. Adds just a little to amazon's own system, but I like having a backup outside their system.

Love the concept, but the chrome extension workflow is a bit quirky. TIme for a refresh?

sorry, it cannot be used for that accounts which are in amazon.cn domain

Continue having problems syncing with amazon and clippingd.io, have to try connecting multiple times every time I try to upload new highlights. Other than a little frustrating at times I enjoy it very much.

Can't retrieve all my highlights. Keeps starting at the same place and just getting the same ones over and over again. Doesn't seem like it will ever get all my highlights.
