I’m going to create an application in Java that will sync your Kindle Clippings with Evernote.

To get a better understanding of what Clippings are it’s any of the following:

1. Highlighted text in a book
2. Typed Notes
3. Bookmarks

The above three types of clippings look like the following:

Highlighted Text:

Typed Notes:

Bookmarks:

Notes

These clippings will be synced to a note in evernote. Each note will be  considered a book. And all future clippings will be appending to the existing notes that contains previous clippings.

Synchronization

Synchronization will happen as the following:

Load each Clipping into a hashmap with the Key equal to the Title of the Book and the Value equal to everything else for that clipping.

Once all clippings have been added to the hashmap we can then iterate through them checking to make sure it doesn’t already exist. This isn’t efficient at all  and Ill think of a better way to do it when I get to this point in the program.

GUI

And lastly I will need to create a GUI for users to login. Later we or I can add stuff for such books or clippings not to sync etc.

Source Code and Project Planning

You can find the github page here: http://github.com/peterfisher/Kindle-sync-with-Evernote

There is also a Google Wave page that will be used for todo and stuff: [Syncing Kindle Clippings with Evernote]

Anyone is free to join in! Since I will most likely be the only one working on this it will be slow since I work full time and also attend college full time!

Well I removed Windows and put Ubuntu on the machine. After reading a few blog post that seemed to propose everything worked great. But sadly nothing really works (what a surprise I know).

So it seems to work when you first install Ubuntu but the Wifi gets disconnected every few minutes when you are actually using it (http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=8891341#post8891341). It also seems to have a hardware fault and completely freezes up every hour or so. You have to restart the machine by pulling the battery out its pretty bad. So far I can’t find anything in syslog or messages about what’s casuing this but it seems like it has to do with the CPU and intel not providing good drivers.

So if you are thinking of install linux on your Nokia Booklet 3G I would hold off. As of the latest release of Ubuntu and latest kernel nothing works. Even with the backports, everything is still fail.
