Introduction to Kindle Highlight Scraper

Kindle Highlight Scraper is a specialized tool designed to process and clean up text extracted from Kindle highlights. Its primary function is to remove unnecessary elements such as metadata (e.g., 'yellow highlight | location: 125') that are automatically included when highlights are exported from a Kindle device or app. This GPT retains the original text of the highlights, presenting it in a clear and readable format. An example scenario could involve a user who has exported their highlights from a non-fiction book for personal study or reference. Instead of manually editing out the metadata from each highlight, the user can paste the entire exported text into Kindle Highlight Scraper, which then automatically generates a clean list of highlights ready for use in notes, research, or study materials.
