I read a lot on Kindle and highlight things, but I almost never go back to them. Even when I do, they’re hard to reuse. The highlights are there, but not in a form that’s actually useful.
So I decided to solve this in a simple way for myself.
I built LitMarks.ai, a small Chrome extension.
What it does is straightforward:
- open your Kindle notebook page
- click one button
- export all your highlights as clean JSON with title, author, color, and location
No extra steps. No manual copy-paste. You can drop the output straight into Notion, Obsidian, or your own tools.
This started purely as something I needed. I’m sharing it in case others have the same problem.
I also have some ideas for improving this over time, especially around using AI to make highlights more useful, but for now the focus is keeping it simple and practical.
