Kindle is lob, kindle is not
Like you, I too read on kindle. Unlike many and like few, I too highlight a lot. A lot. I write and collect my findings in Obsidian. It’s a collection of markdown files with stuff I want to keep around for future reference. Hence these highlights naturally belong there. But moving them there is not a smooth experience. Also I haven’t yet found an app that share highlights in Hindi without messing up the characters. So I figured out a way to have it all.
Here it is.
- When you are finished highlighting, go to annotations(represented by a ring binded notebook) and then use the share button.
- Share it as email.
- Then you can share it with available citation style or none at all.
- Your notebook will be shared as a html file.
- Save it and upload or darg and drop it on this website made by this beautiful person.
- Now you can move the markdown file of the highlights in Obsidian.
- You have two presets available and can be customise if you are into it.
This works for now. My current setup involve reading on kindle and ipad. If you have a better workflow, I would be delighted to hear from you. ✌️
