"Your Clippings" is no more

tomsem · Today, 03:25 PM

It seems this feature was removed with recent update. I will not miss it myself, and am even a little glad that it is gone ('clutter'' and performance drag because it needed indexing every time annotation is made), but I know that is not the case for others who relied on it for their use cases.

I wonder what prospects there are for extracting annotations from the files in .sdr folder?

Oh no! I have been using this since the first Kindle was released in Germany, and I still need it because I read a daily newspaper on the Kindle. Which is not sold by Amazon anymore, so technically it's a "document", i.*e. no highlighted quotes on Amazon's website.

And even worse: I have not saved the last clippings before updating. Damn.

Regarding the "performance drag": Seriously, on modern Kindles caused by one file? And of course you could delete it any time.

KRDS, to which you have contributed, has been arround for years. And a really slick and fancy solution, kindle-reading-dashboard, has been around for months.

It can even extract highlight text from unencrypted books.
