Notes organization and what I wish would change

leave a comment »

All notes, bookmarks, and clipped pages are stored in a file on your kindle, found by plugging the USB cord of your kindle into your computer; browse to the Kindle/Documents/My Clippings.txt file.

It’s a pain to not know where those notes are within the text — it’d be good to have the first line on that page included in the clipping.

Better still would be to have the chapter heading and first line.

- Presently, all notes are cited only by location in the text
“Emma (Jane Austen) – Bookmark Loc. 11 | Added on Tuesday, April 29, 2008, 10:18 PM”

That “location” is not a hard and fast page number – i.e. you can’t estimate by the usual number of words displayed on the screen and page that many words forward in a document on your PC or a printed document. If you’ve changed the text size at all, it counts the page views from that point on as viewed on the new text size.
