{% steps %}
1. Connect your Kindle to your computer with a USB cable.
2. Open the Kindle drive on your computer.
3. Open the **documents** folder.
4. Find **My Clippings.txt**.
{% /steps %}

# Import into Workflowy

2. Select **Choose file** and choose `My Clippings.txt`.

The upload must be a `.txt` file no larger than 20 MB.

# Troubleshooting

- **No highlights found:** Make sure you selected the `My Clippings.txt` file from the Kindle's `documents` folder.
- **Some entries are missing:** Check whether they contain text and use a supported date format.
- **Invalid file type:** Upload the original `.txt` file rather than a converted document or archive.
- **File is too large:** The upload must be no larger than 20 MB.
