This would be really useful if I can use it as a web app. Log in with Amazon, get my kindle highlights, syncs to Notion automatically. Would def pay for it.

@traf Hi, thanks for your feedback! I'll take a look into it as a future problem. This one was more about having all my book clippings in one place as apps like Readwise or read.amazon.com don't fetch clippings from third-party/downloaded books - whose data is stored within the device itself.

@traf Readwise's Notion integration comes close to addressing your needs here.

Hey Product Hunt Community! Like most people during the lock-down, I found myself with some newfound time on my hands to cater to some new habits. I made an active decision to take up reading for leisure and learning, with the help of my 2-year-old Kindle. But over time, I did find myself forgetting insights from the books I’ve read. Highlighting passages and taking notes within the Kindle didn't help either because of the unnecessary hassles involved in getting around to revisit it. I wanted to find a way to extract my highlights so that I could access them anywhere and anytime. That's what led me to build this tool. If you read digitally and highlight at all, I bet you would find this tool helpful. You can even tweak the Notion template provided to your liking. Some suggestions based on my use of this set-up from the last few months: ✔️ Highlights export feature is also supported for third-party books and pdf files within your Kindle. ✔️ Use the database as your personal bookshelf using the default Card View on Notion or even a personal Goodreads clone using the Board View. ✔️ Expand on your clippings further by jotting down your thoughts and insights alongside on the same page once you have finished a book. ✔️ Use Notion's in-built export features to export your highlights in HTML, Markdown or PDF formats. ✔️ Options to save the highlighted date, page and location details of each highlight along with book covers sourced using the Google Books API. That being said, there's always scope for more :) Due credits go to Jamie Alexandre's Python wrapper for Notion (https://github.com/paperboi/kind...) - this project would have been impossible to achieve without his package. Also a shout-out to the folks who have contributed to the repo with interesting issues and PRs so far. While I still haven't been entirely successful in making reading an everyday habit 😁, this project has been a delightful experience so far and I'm excited to hear back from the PH community on how to develop this further. You can also reach out to me on Twitter (https://twitter.com/jeffreysamjacob) for queries.

Amazing tool! Thank you for release it! I just found out a little problem, with Kindle in portuguese: highlights's location and date aren't added in Notion... I think the problem is date format, that is differente in portuguese.

Hi, can you please raise an issue on the GitHub repo, (or email me, whichever is more convenient) with a sample clipping from your text file? It must be a language issue.
