How Kindle's Highlight Limit Works
Amazon limits how much you can highlight per book.
Kindle's highlight limit is set by each publisher, typically allowing 10-20% of any book to be highlighted. TextMuncher leaves that quota untouched: screenshot OCR reads the page image, so no highlights are involved. Your highlight quota stays untouched while you get full chapter text.
Publisher-Set Clipping Limits
Each book has a different highlight cap set by the publisher. You never know how much you're allowed until you hit it.
Highlights Get Truncated
Once you pass a book's export limit, Amazon truncates your highlights instead of exporting the full text you marked.
My Notebook Is Restricted Too
Past the publisher's export limit, your highlights appear truncated in the notebook, and Amazon shows a warning on Your Notes and Highlights.

What is the actual Kindle highlight limit?
Amazon doesn't publish exact numbers. The limit varies by book and is set by each publisher, typically 10-20% of total content. Some academic publishers set even lower limits.
Does TextMuncher affect my existing highlights?
Not at all. TextMuncher uses screenshot OCR, which is completely separate from Kindle's highlight system. Your existing highlights, bookmarks, and notes remain exactly as they are.
Is the highlight limit the same as the copy limit?
They're related but separate restrictions. The copy limit caps how much text you can select and copy (~10%). The highlight limit caps how much text you can highlight and export. Both are publisher-controlled. Neither reaches TextMuncher, which reads the page image rather than Kindle's text layer.
Why does Amazon have highlight limits?
Amazon enforces highlight limits as a DRM measure on behalf of publishers, who want to prevent full-text extraction via highlighting. The irony is that it punishes legitimate readers who take notes while studying.
