authorNotes

If you're anything like me you make highlights in your Kindle while reading as often as a confused 8th grader researching for a book report. Amazon stores these in a big .txt file on the device ordered by the date the quote was highlighted; this isn't the best for recalling why exactly Kurt Vonnegut hated semicolons, but it's a great format for a computer to understand. Which means it can be a great format for you to understand, reminisce properly, and ultimately make more literary references to seem smarter.

I made a web app to sort through your Kindle clippings and present them in a more manageable manner so you can more easily navigate them, and readily echo those funny things Dave Eggers said while trying to pass yourself off as witty at dinner parties.
Simply upload your "My Clippings.txt" file from your Kindle to the site and your highlights will be presented by author and book on the right page.

I used to do this with a handful of python and shell programs, I've left them in /processing_scripts for anyone who wants to tweak it, or just run it on their own machine.
