Why Does Amazon Limit Highlight Exports?
You highlighted those passages for a reason. Amazon's export limits make it hard to actually use them.
Amazon limits Kindle highlight exports to a fraction of each book - typically 10-20% depending on the publisher. TextMuncher bypasses these limits entirely. Instead of exporting clippings through Amazon's restricted system, the browser extension captures full pages as screenshots and converts them to text at 97% accuracy. Get complete passages, full chapters, or entire books.
Highlight Caps Per Book
Publishers set per-book clipping limits. Exceed them and Amazon automatically deletes your oldest highlights.
My Notebook Is Restricted
As of September 2025, copying highlights from My Notebook is blocked by the same publisher limits.
My Clippings.txt Is Incomplete
The clippings file only captures what Amazon allows. It's fragmented and poorly formatted for real use.

What is the Kindle highlight limit?
Publishers set per-book limits on how much text you can highlight and export - typically 10-20% of the book. Once you hit the cap, Amazon automatically removes your oldest highlights to make room for new ones.
Does TextMuncher export my existing highlights?
TextMuncher takes a different approach - instead of exporting highlights through Amazon's limited system, it extracts the actual page text. You get full passages, not just the highlighted fragments.
How does this compare to Readwise?
Readwise syncs your existing Kindle highlights, which are still subject to Amazon's clipping limits. TextMuncher bypasses those limits by extracting text directly from the page, giving you full chapters instead of capped fragments.
Can I use the extracted text with note-taking apps?
Yes. TextMuncher outputs plain text that you can paste into Notion, Obsidian, Evernote, Roam, or any app. The text works anywhere - no special export format needed.
Will Amazon know I'm extracting text?
TextMuncher operates entirely in your browser. It captures screenshots of what's on your screen and processes them locally. No data is sent to Amazon or any external server.
How do I capture the pages my highlights are on?
Open your book in Kindle Cloud Reader and navigate to a section you highlighted, then run TextMuncher across those pages. Because it grabs the entire page rather than just the highlighted span, you keep the full surrounding context that Amazon's clipping export strips away. Start capture a page early and stop a page late to be sure nothing gets cut off.
Why does Amazon delete my oldest highlights?
Each title has a publisher-set clipping cap, and once your highlights exceed it, Amazon quietly removes the earliest ones to stay under the limit. That is why long-term readers lose notes they thought were saved. Capturing the underlying page as text instead means your passages live in a file you control, safe from any cap or automatic pruning.
Can I build a permanent archive of book passages?
Yes. The extracted text is plain text you own outright, so once it is saved to a note or document it never expires and never gets trimmed to fit a quota. Organize passages by book, theme, or project, back them up wherever you like, and revisit them years later. Nothing depends on staying inside Amazon's system.
