highlicopy/paste to email

Does anyone know if it’s possible to copy / paste the highlighted sentences inside of a text area composing an email ?

no answer?

AFAIK, There's no copy and paste on the Kindle device for any purpose.

There is the built-in note sharing and social networking features, or you get the notes onto your computer from the my clippings file and do what you like with them there.

I haven't tried it, but would it be possible to sign into a webmail account on the Kindle browser and attach it to an email from there?

You cannot attach or send files from the Kindle. I can't think of anyway to do it other than via the built in sharing features, or retyping. Maybe it could be hacked....

I would send this to kindle-feedback@amazon.com

I imagine they've thought about it, interesting that they haven't implemented though, since they could use your copypaste as an ad for the book on Amazon.

I sent my question. (to kindle-feedback@amazon.com) .Below is the response

I'm sorry currently, it is not possible to directly copy/paste the highlighted sentences inside of a text area from your Kindle.

We're regularly working on improvements to your Kindle experience. I have passed your message on to the appropriate department in our company for consideration. Customer feedback like yours is very important in helping us continue to improve the selection and service we provide.

However, the Bookmarks, highlights, notes, and clippings you make within a Kindle book are stored in the "My Clippings" TXT file on your Kindle.

You can transfer and/or copy the file to your computer using the USB connection so you can share and use your clippings. You can also print this file if you wish to have a physical copy of your annotations. You'll find the "My Clippings.txt" file in the documents folder on your Kindle.

If you wish, you can make changes to the file using your computer and transfer it back to your Kindle. Changing your "My Clippings" file does not affect any notes, bookmarks, or highlights you've made in the actual content -- you'll still have them for navigation and reference.

If you delete the file from your Kindle, Kindle automatically adds a new "My Clippings" file the next time you add a clipping or annotation to any content.

For more information on your Kindle library content, see the Your Kindle Library Content help page:

We appreciate the time you have taken to share your feedback with us. It's important for us to hear how customers feel about all aspects of shopping at Amazon.com, so we can continue to improve our store and the service we provide.

Thanks for using Kindle.

Thank you for your recent inquiry. Did I solve your problem?
