The full story
The maker has worked on several Kindle and Scribe utilities. This one, clippyconvert, is a Python script that automatically downloads book highlights from a Kindle over USB and syncs them to Apple Books.
The maker was considering switching platforms and saw the highlights as a big vendor lock-in, which the script removes.
