# kindleclip(1)

User interface for managing Amazon Kindle's My Clippings.txt file

## NAME

kindleclip - User interface for managing Amazon Kindle's My Clippings.txt file

## SYNOPSIS

**kindleclip** \[*clippings\_file*\]

## DESCRIPTION

Amazon Kindle devices store a *My Clippings.txt* file, where the bookmarks, highlights and notes are kept. This application allows you to search within the clippings, filter the contents, and copy and paste to other applications. This program is in no way endorsed, promoted or should be associated with Amazon. It is not –and does not aim to be– an official Kindle project.

## OPTIONS

*kindleclip* accepts as its only argument the path to the *My* *Clippings.txt* file to use; if none is provided, it will try to open it in the current directory, and exit with an error message if it does not exist.

## AUTHOR

This program was written by Gunnar Wolf \<gwolf@gwolf.org\>.
