kindle-clipping-sync

Checks for a kindle mount event and commits clippings to a git repository. Tested on a Kindle 3 (keyboard). Works on Linux.

Installation

$ npm install -g kindle-clipping-sync

⚠️ For ubuntu 16.04, if you're getting an error when trying to install nodegit that looks like this: configure: error: cannot find OpenSSL or Libgcrypt, try --with-libssl-prefix=PATH or --with-libgcrypt-prefix=PATH, install libssl-dev (sudo apt install libssl-dev). Relevant nodegit issue

Usage

$ kindle-clipping-sync --repo-path /path/to/repo/.git

When a kindle is mounted, clippings will be copied over to /path/to/repo/<serialNumber>/clippings.txt and committed if there are changes.
