Clippings.io will export your Kindle notes and highlights in usable, searchable form — and then plug them directly into Evernote, so they're available whenever you need them, and sortable in every way you might imagine. The difference here is profound: My Kindle highlights have gone from being available if I can remember what book they're in to discoverable if I can simply remember any word from the highlight.

The Clippings Chrome extension now works like a dream, and I’m heartened that they’re collecting a monthly subscription fee (just $1.99); this gives me hope that they’ll be able to afford continued development even for this admittedly-niche need. The Evernote export functionality is also excellent, fulfilling my wish for discrete notes that each link back to the larger work.

Clippings.io (and the export to Evernote) is an essential part of my research and writing and process. Having all my highlights and notes in a searchable form is game-changing.

I finally found a way to organize all of my notes and highlights from my Kindle device, Kindle apps, and handwritten notes! I can not begin to tell you how happy this makes me.
