Sorry again, I am totally clueless. I type the following command in windows terminal or some terminal in calibre?

[C:\Program Files\Calibre2\calibre.exe]calibre-debug gather_chapter_notes.py html1 [html2, ...]

How do I choose the py file and how do I choose the html to clean?

Can you please share the step by step process? I have never used these kind of python files in terminal.

I would suggest learning a bit about using the Windows CLI. There are quite a few decent tutorials available.

Easiest way would be to create a directory, copy gather_chapter_notes.py and the html files into that directory. Open a command prompt and follow the instructions. In the sample command line, substitute the actual path to calibre-debug and since the path has spaces use quote around it.

Code:

[path to calibre executables]calibre-debug gather_chapter_notes.py html1 [html2, ...]

would become something like:

Code:

"C:\Program Files\Calibre2\calibre-debug.exe" gather_chapter_notes.py mynotes1.html mynotes2.html

Substitute the names of your Kindle notebook files for mynotes1.html, etc.

Thanks a lot! I understood now and was able to run the script successfully.

I have used command prompt before to run hard disk scans, error checks and commands like DISKPART before but I always used to follow instructions after searching for what I want.

This was a totally new experience for me. Thanks a ton for helping me out. Really appreciate!

I created a tool that lets you export notes + highlights in .csv and markdown format

https://www.mykindletools.com/kindle-clipping-export

I haven't added functionality to exclude the location from the exported highlights/notes, but let me know if you would find this useful and I can add this feature!

Use this at your own risk of security and privacy. This is not "local tool" but a random person with a website offering an online conversion.

There are plenty of better solutions.
