## What it is
An Obsidian plugin that syncs Kindle notes and highlights into your vault, either by screen-scraping Amazon's Kindle Reader cloud library or by importing a My Clippings.txt file from a Kindle device. It supports intelligent resyncing, Nunjucks-based templating, Amazon metadata enrichment, and multiple Amazon store regions.

## Use cases
- sync kindle highlights into obsidian
- import my clippings.txt from kindle to markdown notes
- keep my book highlights in sync with amazon cloud
- convert kindle notes to obsidian markdown with frontmatter
- customize highlight note templates in obsidian
- backup kindle annotations to my vault

## When to choose
- you use Obsidian and want your Kindle highlights as markdown notes in your vault
- you want automatic resyncing that preserves your manual edits to highlight files
- you have books not purchased from Amazon and can export My Clippings.txt via USB
- you need templated note output with book metadata from Amazon

## When to avoid
- you don't use Obsidian or prefer other note apps like Notion or Readwise
- you need a one-time bulk export rather than ongoing syncing
- you rely on syncing highlights from non-Amazon sources without a Kindle device or clippings file
- you are uncomfortable with the plugin screen-scraping your Amazon account session
