Ok, I love and hate the "My Clippings.txt" file the Kindle creates as I highlight text in a book.
I love it because it lets me highlight important things in a book and copy that into papers I write in school. It even stores the comments I type with my highlights.
I hate it because it puts all the highlights from all my books in one file.
If I delete a book, the notes remain.
The notes are mixed together. I read book A, then book B, and back to book A. My notes are mixed together and I need to try and find all the notes from book A....
Amazon can fix this - put notes for each book in a different file. Asking for Amazon to keep the notes sequential by the location number would be great, but I'll take what I can get!
Ok, I sent this idea off to Amazon, and they're saying they will forward it to the development team. And while looking at Amazon's web site, I found a way around this! Some of my other "suggestions" were put into the version 2.5 Kindle software, so I think they DO listen!
There is a web site "kindle.amazon.com" and when I sign in, I can see AND edit my notes. When I sync my Kindle, they show up on the Kindle too. I can also display all the notes for a particular book. It's not quite as cool as having it in the "My Clippings.txt" file, but it's better than what I spend a few hours organizing today!
