Hi!
I got my Kindle a month ago and i love it. It's not perfect though. One of the annoyances is My Clippings file. It's great that you have all your notes and highlights in one file, but after a couple of books it can become quite messy. I also like to make notes after each chapter so that when I want to check the main points of the book again I can just go through my notes and not read the whole book again.
To simplify things I wrote a simple app that reads My Clippings.txt, creates a folder My Clippings in folder Documents and creates a seperate txt file for every book you clipped with all the clippings from it. It also creates a XML file which is a kind of a database of all your clippings so if you want to convert it to any other format it shouldn't be hard to write an app that does that.
I did keep on running into a weird bug with different naming of the first title in My Clippings.txt but I think I solved it. If you find any other bugs please let me know.
It's a jar file so you need java which most of you probably have. Just download the file and copy it on your Kindle then run it.
You can find the app here:

It doesn't delete anything. It only reads My Clippings.txt and creates another folder filled with txt files, which can be easily viewed on Kindle.
I'm open to any comments.
Update: For now this only works on Kindle 3, but I'm working on problems with older Kindles so the update should be up in the coming days.
