Might be possible to have an integration from Readwise API in Nostr apps. Of course, one day all books will be in Nostr anyway ;-)

From ChatGPT:

Amazon does not provide a direct, official public API for accessing Kindle highlights and notes. However, users can access their Kindle highlights and notes through Amazon’s Kindle Notebook service by logging in at https://read.amazon.com/notebook. Developers often work around the lack of an API by programmatically scraping this page to extract highlights and notes, though this approach is not officially supported by Amazon and could be subject to breaking changes or policy restrictions.

Alternatives
1. Third-Party Apps with APIs:
Some third-party applications like Readwise provide integrations for syncing Kindle highlights into other platforms like Notion, Evernote, or Roam Research. Readwise also offers an API that developers can use for further integration.
2. Amazon’s Personal Documents Service:
For books or documents you’ve uploaded to Kindle through Amazon’s Personal Documents Service, you can sometimes access highlights by exporting notes as a PDF or text file. However, this is manual and not programmatically accessible.

Recommended Approach

If you want to integrate Kindle highlights into another application:
• Use Readwise API if you’re open to leveraging third-party services.
• Export highlights manually from Kindle Notebook if automation isn’t critical.
• Explore browser automation or scraping with caution (adhering to Amazon’s Terms of Service).
