I've only tested it under Chrome, so you're best bet is to try it there. I'm not at all familiar with Safari -- is there something like the Chrome 'inspect element' or Firefox FireBug feature that will let you know where the JavaScript failed, and any errors that it sent out? It shouldn't work at all when clicking the bookmarklet on any page other than the My_Clippings.txt file open in the browser, so that's not surprising.

But if you're on a mac you should probably check out this Python script - https://github.com/vindia/kindle-2-evernote. If that 'automator' workflow works it even syncs automatically, which is super cool.

@sirmaru While the Amazon highlight page is nice, as far as I know it only works for books purchased from Amazon. As mentioned above, a great deal of what I read is not from Amazon, and I imagine I'm not alone, judging by the popularity of Calibre -- which doesn't have much of a purpose if everything you have is from Amazon -- among Kindle owners.

But overall I am very aware that this is far from an original idea. I did it mainly as a learning project, and decided to share it because I didn't quite see any exact equivalent -- a no-install, cross-platform way to do something useful with your notes. Hence the beginnings of an Evernote-free version to let you browse, print, email, save etc. from the browser. If there is actual demand for something like it I'm willing to try to make it more streamlined and/or actually work

Personally, I've stopped using this method, and am interested in something that fits more smoothly into my workflow, either a PC version of an automated sync daemon or some sort of calibre plugin, or ideally a way to sync the highlights from non-Amazon sources to a place of my choosing (email, Evernote, plain text, blog post etc) directly from the device, a la the official Amazon method.

But it's not working on my mac with Safari 5.1.5...
With the text file opened in Safari, click on the bookmarklet link nothing happens.
Click with a normal webpage(google,..) a download link appears with nothing to download.
