Introduction
============
This is a simple ruby script to convert kindle clippings / notes /
highlights to plain text (or viki markup).
For now, only Kindle version 2 (e.g. Kindle DX) clipping files are
supported (i.e. tested). I have no idea if the script works for other
versions.
Example usage:
kindle_clippings.rb --dir ~/MyClips /media/kindle/My\\ Clippings.txt
Installation
============
Copy or symlink `kindle_clippings.rb` to a directory in $PATH.
Configuration
=============
The script can be configured via YAML files that is searched in:
- `/etc/kindle_clippings.yml`
- `$HOME/.kindle_clippings.yml`
- `$HOME/.kindle_clippings_$HOSTNAME.yml`
- `Windows: %USERPROFILE%/kindle_clippings.yml`
Example configuration file:
---
format: viki
outdir: /home/tom/Wiki/KindleNotes
myclippings: /home/tom/sync/Kindle/My Clippings.txt
An initial configuration file can be created with the following command:
kindle_clippings.rb --print-config > ~/.kindle_clippings.yml
Requirements
============
- Ruby 1.8
