Organized by Book
Your highlights and notes come in grouped per book, not as one endless text file — so you can find and reuse them fast.
Highlights and Notes
Both your highlighted passages and the notes you wrote alongside them are imported together and kept with each book.
Two Ways to Import
Upload My Clippings.txt from your e-reader, or import directly from read.amazon.com/notebook with the free extension.
Search and Tag
Once imported, your Kindle highlights live in a searchable library you can tag, organize and revisit any time.
Export Onward
From Web Highlights you can take your highlights further — export to Markdown, Notion and more from your account.
Private by Design
The clippings file is parsed on your device and never uploaded, so your reading stays yours.
