I'm very interested in this. I read a lot of books that aren't from Amazon on my Kindle. I do a lot of highlighting, which I like to export to readwise.

In order to do this I have to plug in my Kindle. Mount it. Find the clippings file. Upload the file to readwise.

The best I came up with was a script that detects when I plug-in my Kindle and opens the finder window and opens the readwise page. Pretty lame.

Unfoturnately, Amazon does not sync highlights on books that have not been purchased on Amazon. This is also why Readwise cannot automatically sync those highlights.

Could you post this script to somewhere? Gist, codepen, etc?

I want to see if can improve it. There might be a way to have the terminal auto-copy the clippings file

Here's a similar script I wrote. Would be glad for feedback.

Oh awesome. I see you spent much longer than my 30 minutes on this. I'm going to take a good look at this later.
