+Import Kindle `My Clippings.txt` highlights into Zotero as native annotations; directly inside Zotero, no terminal needed.
+
## Install (30 seconds)
1. Download `kindle-zotero-importer.xpi` from [Releases](../../releases) (latest `0.6.4`, or `0.6.4-beta` for preview).
2. In Zotero: `Tools → Plugins → gear → Install Plugin From File…` → pick the `.xpi` → restart Zotero.
3. `Tools → Kindle Zotero Importer…` to open the manager.
-Works with Zotero 7–10, macOS/Windows/Linux, PDF and EPUB.
+Works with Zotero 7–10; macOS/Windows/Linux; PDF and EPUB.
## Use
-1. **Choose your file** — click `Choose My Clippings.txt` and pick your *cumulative* `My Clippings.txt` from Kindle (`/Documents/My Clippings.txt`). Keep the window open — you’ll see live progress.
-2. **Check Integrated** — after the run, `Integrated` shows what was imported (`Highlight Text`, `Citekey`, `Added On`, `Integrated`, `Page`). Filter to find anything.
-3. **Fix Conflicts** — if a Kindle title didn’t match a Zotero item, `Conflicts` shows it with up to 3 suggestions `citekey · title (score%)`. Click `Use` on the right one, or type any `citation key` / `Zotero key` / `Item ID` under `Use Custom`, or `Ignore Title` to skip it forever. If you map `chabot2013` for one `Simondon` variant, it will offer to apply the same mapping to the other variants with that candidate.
-4. **Re-import** — after you’ve fixed one or more titles, click `↻ Re-import with saved overrides` (re-uses the last file, or asks for it). Only new/changed highlights are re-positioned — already integrated ones are skipped, so the second run is fast. Check `Full re-import from scratch` only if you want to rebuild everything.
-5. **Mappings** — see all titles you’ve approved or ignored, newest first, with date. `Delete` any entry to send it back to `Conflicts` for re-matching.
-6. **Settings / Artifacts** — change `Python`/`Zotero DB` paths and `Save Settings`, or `Open`/`Reveal` any generated file (`mismatch-review.md`, `match-overrides.json`, …).

## Tips
-- Keep `My Clippings.txt` cumulative (don’t clear it on the Kindle). The importer remembers what’s already integrated via `kindle-id:` tags, so re-imports are incremental.
-- If a highlight is positioned in the wrong place, check that the Zotero item has the correct PDF/EPUB attached (not a link). `Matched-title-no-attachment` in `Conflicts` means that.
