Kindle Highlight MD Formatter

About the tool

A self-indulgent tool I use to import my Kindle highlights into Obsidian. Future features may include customizable output and support for importing annotations.

Note: current version does not support importing notes/annotations. These must be inputted manually in your own text editing document.
