Anyone doing that should definitely keep a backup-copy on the computer of what was done in the past in case it's ever needed. However, if you decide you prefer to start afresh and you remove the file from the Kindle, the Kindle will create a new one the next time you make an annotation or a bookmark. Q: Can I delete some of the information and copy the altered My Clippings file back on my kindle? * adjusts the column sizes If you try it and like it, let him know. * sorts the table by book and location in book * Creates a table of highlights, notes and bookmarks.
From the professor's description: Here’s what the macro does: However, there is a WORD macro made by a Professor that will sort the file and display the notes BY book. Unfortunately, there's no Kindle utility for that. Is there an easy way to assemble all the clippings and marks from a single book into one location? Q: Once I load the "My Clippings" text file onto my computer: When editing a copy of the file, I recommend highlighting, copying and pasting the file's text to a WORD doc or any text-editing program you use that allows you to retain the bolding for the headings, which look like this:Īs that will make your actual notes easier to differentiate from the headers. Each note or highlight that you make is automatically copied to that file for use in editing and printing. No, those also remain in the My Clippings file, which is a separate file kept for you so that you can work with it, apart from your book. Q: If I delete a non-Amazon book from my Kindle are my marks and bookmarks deleted from the "My Clippings File"? You can then edit or print that copy as you would any text file. To do that, you attach the Kindle to your computer, via the USB cable that is part of your power cord, and use the file manager to copy that file to your computer. The My Clippings file is made so that the customer can edit or print, at any time, the clippings that were saved while reading. The My Clippings 'book' file is a pure-text file ( unlike the book's associated marks-file, which has placement coding in it). The actual marks that are used with your Kindle book are kept in a small associated file for each book, for reference by the Kindle when the book is opened. (This is why, in the infamous '1984' incident here, the notes taken for homework actually were still on the kindle.) So, even when the book is inadvertently deleted, copies of the annotations and bookmarks are still on the Kindle in straight-text format for your use. The marks (notes, highlighting, and bookmarks) are copies of what you did for your books and are actually retained in the My Clippings file even when the book is no longer on the Kindle, as that is a detailed log of the marks that you make for all your books, in chronological order, for your use in editing or printing (from a computer).
