boswell 0 Posted February 5, 2010 Share Posted February 5, 2010 Are there any plans to integrate Evernote with the Kindle? Now that Amazon has announced the Kindle Development Kit (KDK), it would seem like a logical place for Evernote to jump into the Kindle game. As I read books on the Kindle, I have become a huge fan of being able to highlight and save content to the Kindle notes section. However, I found that I would much rather have that content within Evernote. So, I usually copy it all from the Kindle to Evernote every once in a while. It would be fantastic to be able to save directly to Evernote while reading a book (of course, tagged with the book title). It was within just a couple week of receiving the Kindle that I wished it had Evernote integration. Link to comment
dan7000 26 Posted February 5, 2010 Share Posted February 5, 2010 + 1 I also have been clipping info from the kindle into a file, then copying it to my computer and importing into EN. Even if we don't have full EN on Kindle, it would be nice to have a way to sync our Kindle clippings directly to EN. Link to comment
engberg 89 Posted February 5, 2010 Share Posted February 5, 2010 Our basic mobile web UI (http://www.evernote.com/m) does work from the Kindle. The Kindle SDK includes some challenges for Evernote (no access to display HTML content), and the Kindle business model is a bit tricky (esp regarding network bandwidth costs), but we're certainly tracking this closely.Thanks Link to comment
dan7000 26 Posted February 5, 2010 Share Posted February 5, 2010 For me, even better than a kindle client would be a Windows utility that pulls kindle clippings into EN when the kindle is connected to your Windows machine. Maybe one of the scripting gurus on the forum will come up with something? Link to comment
boswell 0 Posted February 6, 2010 Author Share Posted February 6, 2010 I too was worried about the free content since Amazon limits you to 100KB/user/month. But, if you consider that there are about 180 words per KB of english text, that gives you 18,000 words per month. And, an average page in a book has about 250 words per page so you can save 72 full pages of text per month! That's a LOT of clipping to be doing in one month. I understand that you can use the mobile UI, but I don't want to leave the book/page I'm reading just to add something to Evernote. The Kindle makes it so easy to clip, I just wish there was an option to clip to Evernote as I was reading a book.Glad to hear it's something on your radar! Link to comment

uslic001 1 Posted July 30, 2010 Share Posted July 30, 2010 I would love an automated import of MyClippings file into Evernote. Now I do it manually when I hook my Kindle up to my PC which is very rarely. Link to comment
rawrus 0 Posted September 7, 2010 Share Posted September 7, 2010 I too would be interested in Kindle functionality.I am not really interested in using Evernote FROM a kindle - but I do buy my ebooks from Amazon and in the Kindle format and I read them in a Kindle reader and take notes/highlight etc. It would be nice to have my notes exported from Amazon (they have them on a website now) and imported into EN.I searched for a way to do that already and don't see it - but it seems like that should be pretty easy? I don't need to do anything from a Kindle, just import the highlighted text and my notes... Link to comment
engberg 89 Posted September 7, 2010 Share Posted September 7, 2010 If you can find any export options in the Kindle software, you may be able to export and then either import the resulting file into Evernote or copy and paste the text. We don't yet have such native functionality.Thanks Link to comment

jculverwell 1 Posted August 3, 2011 Share Posted August 3, 2011 Many of our users (http:ww.clippingsconverter.com) use our site to export their clippings first and then import to Evernote. We are considering adding the ability to import directly to Evernote in the near future.CheersJim Link to comment

Level 5 Martin Packer 162 Posted January 29, 2012 Level 5 Share Posted January 29, 2012 @jculverwell +1 for integration with Evernote. @engberg (or anyone) got any illustrative screenshots of Kindle (non-Fire) using the mobile web UI to Evernote? (BTW how DOES one do a screenshot from a (non-Fire) Kindle?)Martin Link to comment

Level 5 Martin Packer 162 Posted January 30, 2012 Level 5 Share Posted January 30, 2012 @peterfmartin I suspected/feared/expected that to be the case. :-(And @jculverwell I see some integration with Evernote now - as of November 2011 I think.Martin Link to comment
en2ki 2 Posted February 14, 2012 Share Posted February 14, 2012 Taking screenshot with latest Kindle is: press Menu & Keyboard keys at same time. Will save GIF on your device. Here's Sample Link to comment
Level 5 Martin Packer 162 Posted February 14, 2012 Level 5 Share Posted February 14, 2012 @en2ki What kind of Kindle did you do that on? Is it Fire or something more like the Keyboard? (I have the latter.)Thanks, Martin Link to comment
en2ki 2 Posted February 15, 2012 Share Posted February 15, 2012 I have Kindle 4 (latest that sells for $80, with no keyboard and no touch support)For keyboard, I believe "Pressing alt, shift and G on your keyboard" will do the trick. Plug in using usb cable and Windows will import those screens for you. Link to comment

Yep, I have an old keyboard Kindle (whatever model was the cool new thing in December 2009), and Alt+Shift+G gets the screenshot. The file is saved as a GIF in the Kindle "documents" folder. Thanks for this, en2ki. Link to comment
