Kcfu

Kindle My Clippings.txt is a simple file that aggregate the clippings by clipping time, so the book clipping is mixed into a single file.

KCFU (Kindle Clipping File Util) simply helps to parse the My Clippings.txt file into separated txt file with Book Title 1.txt, Book Title 2.txt based on the clippings's book title information.

The core kindle format parsing job relies on the kindleclippings project.

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'kcfu'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install kcfu

Kcfu::FileUtil#parse_file will create a 'kindle_clippings' folder under PWD and separate the clippings by book_title in provided My Clippings.txt file.

adding convert: :markdown option will generate a simple markdown for the generated file

require 'kcfu'

parser = Kcfu::FileUtil.new
parser.parse_file('My Clippings.txt', convert: :markdown)

Kcfu::MdConvertor#parse_file will create a corresponding Book Clippings.md according to provided Book Clippings.txt file.

require 'kcfu'

parser = Kcfu::MdConvertor.new
parser.parse_file('Book Clippings.txt')
