You cannot edit the “My Clippings” file from within Kindle, but you can edit the file on
your computer.
To edit the “My Clippings” file:
1. Connect your Kindle to your computer using the USB cable.

normally find an external USB drive.
3. Open your Kindle. You should see a folder entitled Documents. Transfer the
“My Clippings” file out of this folder.
4. Open the “My Clippings” file on your computer using an application that can read

6. Transfer the “My Clippings” file back to the “Documents” folder on your Kindle.
7. Un-mount 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.
