Amazon Kindle’s Clippings Helper – review

Posted by Steve Brady On May - 29 - 200910 COMMENTS

UPDATED: 11 Jun 2009.  They have actually added a “view all on one page” feature. Go Amazon!

A couple posts back I noted an email where Amazon announced they are giving web access to the clippings and notes that you make in your Kindle when reading.  And as you will recall, I believe the highlighting/notes feature is the best “game changing” feature of the Kindle so I was anxious to see what they have done.  I have since logged on to the site, and given it a test drive.

I must say I am not all that impressed.

When you first log on you get a listing of the books you have purchased, called a “reading list.”  (See graphic below) Read the rest of this entry »

Amazon let’s you get to the notes and clippings from the Web!

Posted by Steve Brady On May - 28 - 20091 COMMENT

As my faithful reader will recall, my favorite feature with the Kindle is the ability to highlight (and clip) text, and add notes.  I went so far as to develop a Word macro (windows only, sorry Mac users).  Well, Amazon has made things ‘even easier’ for people to access their notes.  Their email follows:

Dear Amazon.com Customer,

Our customers have told us that they love being able to add highlights and notes to their Kindle books. We want to make it possible for you to access your highlights and notes directly from a Web browser too. So we’ve released http://kindle.amazon.com, an online tool that enables you to do just that.

To try it out, go to http://kindle.amazon.com, sign in with your Amazon account, and simply select one of your books where you have added highlights or notes.

We hope you enjoy this new feature. If you have feedback please send it to us at amazonkindle-feedback@amazon.com.
