“My Clippings” file out of this folder.

6. Transfer the “My Clippings” file back to the “Documents” folder on your Kindle.
7. Unmount your Kindle from your computer before removing the USB cable.
Changing your “My Clippings” file does not affect any notes, bookmarks, or highlights
you’ve made in the actual content. The next time you read the content, you can still
use them for navigation and reference.
