Amazon Kindle: Seven years of development in an image – lesen.net
Seven years ago, Amazon established with his first Kindle the mass market for digital books and eBook Reader. Since then a lot has changed in the devices, such as an animated image demonstrates impressively.
The first Kindle reader Amazon entered did not only technical, but also designerisches Neuland. From today’s perspective, the first generation of the device with sharp edges and a generous frame looks a little dusty. With a slot for SD cards, speakers and headphone port and firmly integrated keyboard but it was extensively equipped. Also, another distinctive feature of the Amazon device, which has survived to this day, finds himself ready in the first instrument: the opportunity over the wireless network on the Kindle eBook store access
Small, round, black
With the second generation who were themselves to buy in Germany, Amazon made the Kindle a bit rounded and approached him with the established by Apple design language a bit to. However, this revision was the SD card slot for victims. With the third generation Amazon also changed the color of his devices – from white to a dark silver-gray – and reduced the frame around the still six inch display. The physical keyboard was kept but shrank a little.
The fourth generation introduced the Kindle Touch Amazon the first device produced that did without a physical keyboard and had an infrared touch-screen controls. The far laterally positioned buttons for turning the page slipped it under the screen. In this way, the device was much easier to handle and approached further compressed rounded design language.
The successor to the Kindle Touch, the Kindle Paperwhite omitted then completely on physical buttons, so that only the display in a now black frame is visible. Also, the headphone jack and the speaker fell victim to the revision. In addition, the Kindle Paperwhite can come up with a special backlight. This makes it possible to read books on the Kindle without external illumination without, like a computer screen or a tablet, having to look directly into a bright light source. The now available Paperwhite 2 is optically hardly changed over its predecessor.

Export notes and highlights from Kindle + Kindle Paperwhite – lesen.net
It’s easy on the Kindle or Kindle to mark passages or White Paper to take notes, but hard to get them out of the Amazon universe. We show how to do it.
If you come across a particularly interesting passage when reading on the Kindle, this can be very simply highlight: a long press on the start of the text and then simply drag the marker to the end. In the latest software, the label can be then adjusted before the press “Select” she assures. Pressing “Add Note”, however, does just that, it allows to add your own text note about the respective keyboard. Marks and notes are automatically synchronized within the Kindle universe. The possibilities to export them from this are, however, quite hidden.
Export directly from Kindle / Kindle Paperwhite
Kindle clippings Manager
The Kindle stores all markups, written notes and set bookmarks in the file “My Clippings.txt”. These can be found if you your device to the PC connects in the directory “documents”. However, the format of this file is relatively unclear and is therefore almost unusable, especially for large collections and many notes. To this end, there are online and offline, some interesting helpers that facilitate the navigation and allow export to different formats.
to install on your own PC or Mac, these are for example the Kindle Clippings Manager or the English DaleyKlippings. Online Clipper offers easy navigation and export of tags and notes and Clippings.io has extensive targeting capabilities to export and management, in can even play back changes back to the device. These services set course, that you want to upload his collected notes on a foreign server.
If Amazon.com
Amazon.com – Your Highlights
A somewhat simpler access to its markings and notes obtained directly from Amazon.com under https://kindle.amazon.com/your_highlights with the German user data. Here all markings and notes for books are sorted among themselves displayed.
The HTML representation makes copying the notes in a notepad program here cumbersome, since for each note some automounted Links must be manually removed. In addition, notes and highlights lack of “personal documents” – ie pdf files or mobi ebooks that you have manually loaded onto the Kindle. In the “My Clippings.txt” these, however, are available.
So really comfortable is not the administration and the export of clippings unfortunately until now, but with the existing tricks can now work. Let’s see on Amazon sometime even comes up with the idea to offer the readers a little more comfortable here. In their apps they have thus already begun

Your justification. Kindle readers lack the haptic feedback when read. For if one holds an open book, the thickness of the book left-half increases with time, the other half from. The book will help readers to note the sequence of individual scenes of the story mentally. Kindle, this feedback is missing
