@hereisjason -- Great job here. I'm not too familiar with Amazon's API for Kindle stuff, but how technically possible would it be to grab highlights from across Kindle Cloud and not just the Kindle device? I often switch reading from my Kindle app on iPhone to my Kindle to my laptop depending on context; I actually find highlighting to be far more easier to do on iOS devices than it is on Kindles. I appreciate how Kindle Cloud sync allows me to switch between devices and pick up right where I left off, so I would think there may possibly be a way to fetch the highlight/annotation data from not just the single physical device itself but from Kindle cloud generally. Is there? LMK!
@carlvlewis AFAIK, Amazon doesn't has API to share user's highlights. But it doesn't have site for normal users to view highlights online: https://kindle.amazon.com/your_h.... So, it's still possible to read these highlights using some geek way.
I will look inside it and notify you if Klib support sync with your highlights on Amazon's. Thanks for your suggestions.
@hereisjason Whoa, didn't know that existed, but awesome. Now if only that data were in such an awesome UI with sorting and management tools like Klib has... Thanks for pointing out that Amazon feature and for the awesome product.
@carlvlewis You're welcome. As you may found, the website of Amazon's highlights looks so …
Have a try for Klib and enjoy it. I will keep on improving it (e.g., sync with your highlights online if possible).
@carlvlewis Klib's new version already support wirelessly importing from Amazon and export to Evernote. Klib can open Kindle for macOS and jump to the exact location to review highlight, which is very cool and useful.

Looks like a great way to get way more mileage out of highlights. Auto syncing with Kindle account instead of a device would make it indispensable—I've never even plugged my Kindle into my Mac.
@hereisjason I downloaded it— how many books can you manage by default? If you buy the license for unlimited books does that include upgrades in the future, eg. when you get syncing set up?
@airjoshb Free account could manage 20 books, Klib Pro could manage unlimited books at least in Klib 1.x.
For syncing, can't promise as Amazon doesn't open this API, and need to find some geek ways to support it. It's possible, but sorry can't give an exact date now.
