If you have a Fire, iOS, or Android device, the Kindle app will let you export notes from Personal Documents (content you ‘sent to kindle’). but WITHOUT any amazon software / products.Īny help would be greatly appreciated! Thank you. It is the most recommended way to do mutual file transfer as it is available to transfer files with almost any other platform. I'm just hoping to get highlighted passages of text from my kindle over to my computer so I can copy and paste them into word docs for my notes. 1 Wi-Fi File Transfer via BooxDrop BooxDrop is a built-in transfer app in the BOOX device. With that said, is there any way that I can manually sync my highlights in NON amazon ebooks to my computer? Are the newest devices still capable of producing the 'my clippings' files I've read about? This seems like the best non-cloud option for me to sync my notes to my computer.Īgain, in short. Tap the Settings icon on the home screen of your Fire tablet. You can connect your device using a USB or USB-C cable or using a Wi-Fi connection. I have a wide collection of ebooks that I'll be syncing to my new kindle via Calibre - none of which were purchased via Amazon - additionally, I'm a journalist working with sensitive material and therefore cannot have notes / highlights syncing to Amazon services where I can't verify their safety. The biggest dealbreaker with regards to my nook was that there was NO way for me to get my highlighted text passages off of the device - so I was stuck manually typing out my hihglights after I read which was what I did for physical books years ago. I'm getting rid of my ancient nook and getting a kindle today.

I had originally posted this in the Amazon forums and luckily someone directed me here.
