Export kindle vocabulary to Markdown

Set of tools to liberate your "Vocabulary Builder" highlights from Kindle.

Mission statement

As an Obsidian user I want to browse, connect and use my Kindle highlights seamlessly.

Features

• grabs all words and books from your Kindle vocabulary database
• creates WikiLinks between from words to books
• safe to run repeatedly in the same directory (🤞🏽)

Issues & next steps

⚠️ Unknown how it works with multiple languages and other versions of Kindle. ⚠️

Details

To achieve the mission statement I need 3 components:

1. API part interfacing with Kindle vocab.db and returning some usable data structure
2. CLI part to easily use and test the solution
3. (planned) Obsidian plugin

Development

Using lerna to manage all elements.

Publish

npx lerna publish minor
