Notion+Kindle-ReadingNotes

Automatically Form clipping in Kindle into a formatted note with Notion

Background

Trying to make Reading Notes with Notion based on the contents in Kindle's clipping but unwilling to waste time on searching words and copying sentences, I stretch myself to get related knowledge and code a scipt in Python to make it automatic.

Format

How to use

1. Download the Notion-English-ReadingNote repository

2. Connect your Kindle and Computer using an USB cable

3. Replace the notion page address in notionNote.py line 23

   page = client.get_collection_view("<Your page address>")

4. Run notion.py And Check the content

5. Great ! A note has been made😇

Work

1. Get contents from Kindle No matter whether you mark a word or a sentence in your kindle, it will add some words to a file My Clipping.txt in your Kindle ( note_path='/Volumes/Kindle/documents/My Clippings.txt' ), conforming to following form (5 lines).

   Book Name
   Pages | Date
   
   word/sentence you have marked
   =========
   

   So it is for us to abstract the note we want.
   Except for getting the contents:

• Divide the content into words/phrases and sentences stored in words and sentences
• Delete all contents in My Clipping.txt when running the scipt assuming that I will note with notion as soon as having read an article.

2. Find the sense for words I code a simple python-spider to get sense from YoudaoDic web site.

3. Add a new note to the Table in Notion.
   For this part, I use a package notion-py. It's comprehensible to treat a notion page as a tree.
