Does instapaper have HN formatting service now (or) do you manually send HN story through it? 'Send to Kindle' extension of Amazon can do the same if anyone is looking for a free option, But 'HN to Kindle' formats the HN page and sends as a book. Before Obsidian, I tried 'Kindle 2 Notion'[1] to sync My clippings.txt from Kindle to notion, But Notion is too heavy for my liking and I didn't use it for any other purpose. Obsidian is built upon self-hosting principles, The obsidian-kindle-plugin referenced in the post is useful for anyone to self-host a read-wise type setup.

jacurtis·Sep 21, 2021Recommendation phrase
My favorite part about ebooks, and specifically Kindle/Amazon is that you can flip through your highlights. I will highlight parts of a book I really enjoyed and sometimes write personal notes about them as I read. I enjoy going back and spending 15-30 minutes going through my highlights and notes on books I previously read and re-reading sections around highlights. It brings back a surprising amount of memories and emotions from the book that get lost over time. Now Amazon lets you read these with read.amazon.com and offers some export features. The export features are still not perfect, but are better than they were. I also like the sheer number of books I can keep on my Kindle and they don't take up physical space in my home. I don't want hundreds of books stacked up that i read once. So instead I find that I read on Kindle first. Then

if I REALLY enjoy the book, I will purchase a physical copy for my bookshelf. So my bookshelf becomes a physical embodiment of my curated favorites. I also have an obsession with old books, so I enjoy hunting down cool copies at used bookstores to get the right one for my bookshelf. Here is the tool I use to get highlights and notes off my Kindle and onto Notion, which allows multi-device syncing and web-access to my notes and private storage. https://github.com/paperboi/kindle2notion
