Bring your Kindle highlights
Every passage you underlined, every note you left in the margins. Saved with the book it came from, searchable by how it felt.
How it works
- Add the Moodshelf extension to Chrome and sign in to Moodshelf.
- Sign in to your Amazon account in the same browser, the one you read Kindle books with.
- In Moodshelf, open Add, then Import, then Kindle.
- The extension reads your Kindle notebook in your own browser and brings in each book with its highlights and notes.
- Run it again any time. New highlights join the books already on your shelf, and new books come over whole.
Where your Kindle highlights live
Amazon keeps every highlight and note you make in your Kindle notebook, a page at read.amazon.com/notebook. If you shop on a regional Amazon site, your notebook lives there instead, for example read.amazon.co.uk or read.amazon.in. Open it in any browser while signed in and you can see every book with its highlights.
Books you sideloaded outside the Kindle store keep their highlights in a file called My Clippings.txt on the device itself, which you can copy off over USB.
Moodshelf reads the notebook page directly in your own browser, so for store books there is no file to find, copy, or clean up.
Questions
Does Moodshelf need my Amazon password?
No. The extension reads your Kindle notebook in your own browser, where you are already signed in. Your Amazon credentials never touch Moodshelf.
What comes over?
Each book arrives as one item with its cover, and your highlights and notes stay attached to it.
What about highlights I make later?
Run the import again any time. Books already on your shelf pick up their new highlights, and new books come over whole.
Does it work outside the US?
Yes. Kindle keeps your notebook on your home region's site, like read.amazon.co.uk or read.amazon.in, and the import reads whichever one you are signed in to.
How many books can I bring on the free plan?
The free shelf holds 500 items, and each book counts as one. If an import would go past that, Moodshelf asks you first.
Which browsers work?
The extension runs on Chrome for now.
