Why Are Your Kindle Highlights Limited?
Amazon enforces publisher-set limits on how much text you can highlight and export from any single book.
Kindle limits highlight exports to roughly 10% of each book. To export more, use TextMuncher to capture page screenshots and convert them to text via OCR. This approach is not subject to Amazon's highlight quota because it reads from images, not Kindle's text layer. You get full text of any section, not just the fragments Amazon allows.
The Export Cap
Kindle's "Your Notes & Highlights" page only exports text up to the publisher's limit. Some books cap at just 5%.
Clippings File Is Incomplete
The My Clippings.txt file on Kindle devices includes your highlights but truncates long passages and excludes anything past the limit.
Third-Party Tools Hit the Same Wall
Tools like Bookcision and Clippings.io pull from Kindle's API, which enforces the same publisher limits. They cannot extract more than Amazon allows.
How to Get Everything Out
No Percentage Cap
Screenshot OCR does not interact with Kindle's text API. There is no 10% limit, no publisher restriction, and no throttling.
Full Text, Not Just Highlights
Extract complete pages, chapters, or entire books. Get the full context around your highlights, not isolated snippets.
Works Where Other Tools Fail
Unlike Bookcision or Readwise, TextMuncher is not limited by Amazon's API. If you can read it on screen, you can extract it.
How It Works
Three steps. No technical knowledge required.
1. Open Your Book
Go to read.amazon.com and open the section with your important highlights.
2. Capture the Pages
Run TextMuncher to capture screenshots of the relevant pages. The extension handles page turning.
3. Extract Full Text
Upload screenshots for OCR. You now have the complete text surrounding your highlights, not just the highlighted fragments.

Can I still use Kindle highlights alongside TextMuncher?
Yes. Use Kindle highlights for quick in-app reference, then use TextMuncher when you need to export full text beyond the limit. They complement each other.
What about my existing highlights on read.kindle.com?
Your existing highlights remain in your Kindle account. TextMuncher is an additional extraction method that gives you full page text, not a replacement for Kindle's built-in features.
Does Readwise have the same export limits?
Yes. Readwise pulls highlights through Kindle's API, so it is subject to the same publisher-set caps. TextMuncher bypasses this by using OCR instead of the API.
How much text can I extract with TextMuncher?
There is no cap on the capture process. Free accounts include 30 pages of OCR processing. Paid plans at $6/month offer unlimited OCR.
