Common questions

Where do I find My Clippings.txt?

Connect your Kindle to your computer by USB. Open the device in your file browser, go to the documents folder, and copy My Clippings.txt. That single file holds every highlight, note, and bookmark across all your books.

What becomes a card?

Every highlight and note becomes one card — the passage on the front, the book title and author on the back. Bookmarks are skipped. You review exactly what you marked while reading.

Which Kindle languages are recognized?

Kindles set to English, German, Spanish, or French. 2anki reads the highlight and note markers in those four languages; a Kindle set to another language may not be picked up.

Can I upload highlights from several books at once?

Yes. My Clippings.txt spans every book on the device, so one upload turns all your recent highlights into a single deck. Split it into subdecks inside Anki after import if you want one deck per book.
