Keeping your highlights organised: Email your Kindle highlights directly from Kindle apps

Since our Beta launch in Sept 2021, there was only one way you could send your kindle highlights to saveread.io - by uploading your My Clippings.txt file. We understand this method is a little cumbersome, but it still is the best way to get all your highlights on to our platform at once.

But...

What if you could just email notes and highlights right from your Kindle App? Yes, that’s possible now. Just export highlights from the app and send it to file@send.saveread.io via your registered email address, and it’ll automatically be added to your saveread account within 2 minutes!

Here's how it works:

Step 1: Open "My Notebook" on the Kindle app

Open the book on the Kindle app (iOS and Android). Select “My Notebook”. You should be able to see all your notes and highlights from the book here

The new book along with all your highlights and notes will be added to your account.

The email must be sent from the same email address that was used to register on saveread.io so that we know it’s you. If you dont have an account with us, you can signup for free here.
