Apparently, there is a Perl script to extract notes from the MBP file, if you can discover what that is. |

Never seen the limit.
Quote:
That "limit" may be a site display limit and have nothing to do with the publishers. I'd suggest doing your reading on the Kindle Fire but doing your research using Kindle 4 PC on your PC. All your Notes and Highlights are also available in Kindle 4 PC for every ebook. You can copy and paste from there without any display limits. Frankly, I prefer to type Notes on my PC rather than the Kindle Fire. I prefer 10 finger typing on an MS Ergonomic Keyboard to thumb typing on a Virtual Keyboard. Finally, inside Kindle 4 PC you can click "Notes & Marks" on the Left to display all of them. Then you can right click on the Highlight to copy it individually. It copies the Highlight with a full reference note showing page number, book title and author - in perfect shape to insert a foot note number in the body of a research paper and the entire reference with the associated number in your own footnote section. I use Clipmate as a clipboard extender and that program can even split your information for immediate insertion in your paper. Last edited by sirmaru; 04-07-2012 at 12:22 PM. |

Kindle Hint: Kindles books have a "clipping limit", that is, a maximum amount of allowed text that can be "copied". This limit seems to affect also the way notes are stored in ".mbp" files. So, if you try to use my app, and the text file reports the number of notes, but nothing more, you'll probably need to remove that limit. If the limit is exceeded, notes are not stored as text, but as a pointer to the original book (?), and my app cannot cope with that. |

Highlights enumerated
Quote:
https://kindle.amazon.com/your_highlights "Your Highlights (Most recently updated first) Washington: A Life by Ron Chernow You have 167 highlighted passages You have 2 notes Last annotated on April 6, 2012" All Notes and Highlights are even kept at that site for eBooks borrowed from Amazon's Lending Library even though you don't even possess the ebooks anymore. They only allow you to borrow one eBook per month. By the way, you MUST use your PC for the writing of the research papers. So far as I know no one uses typewriters anymore and for speed nothing beats a real keyboard versus the Fire virtual keyboard. That being the case, do your reading on the Kindle Fire and then use Kindle 4 PC on the PC as your source document for your writing. Kindle 4 PC has no display limits as the internet site evidently has. Last edited by sirmaru; 04-07-2012 at 01:59 PM. |

Are the personal documents notes and highlights archived in the same location as purchased books? None of my notes/highlights from pdocs (post 6.3 update) appear. Are they in a different location on Amazon's site?

My comment about it not being the productive tool he was hoping for was my confusion about writing papers on it. But I get it he is doing his research and saving his notes to use in writing papers on something more functional. |

sirmaru -- I downloaded the Kindle for PC and I appreciate the suggestion. I did not realize that it would "keep" my highlights. You are correct that I do not do the writing on the KF, but at the PC so this is a valid alternative and I appreciate your patience. Since I had not used the PC version, I had no idea of its capabilities. Thanks again.
It would be nice, still, if there were a way to export the notes without have to go through and cut and paste them all out manually. But again, your suggestion of using Kindle for PC is certainly very close to what I am wanting to accomplish. |
