A Claude Code skill that recovers export-blocked Kindle highlights
TL;DR
A new Claude Code skill has been developed to recover Kindle highlights that are often incomplete or missing when exported from Amazon. This tool enhances the user experience by ensuring that all highlights are accurately retrieved.
✦ Why It Matters
Try using the Claude Code skill to recover your Kindle highlights for a complete reading experience.
Key Takeaways
- Install the l3a0/claude-plugins for highlight recovery.
- Ensure you have the current Mac Kindle app installed.
- Use AppleScript for browser control to execute the skill.
- Run the skill to compile a Markdown file of all highlights.
How It Works
The skill operates by controlling a logged-in browser session to scrape highlights from the Kindle notebook page. It reads highlight positions from the Kindle app's SQLite database, allowing it to recover text that is otherwise hidden due to export limits.
For blocked highlights, it captures rendered pages from the Cloud Reader and uses Apple's Vision framework for OCR to extract the text accurately.
