Notes without highlight

[adnanvaldes]

I just wanted to say this is a great plugin! I discovered it recently and it's been a game changer.

I wasn't sure whether to tag this as a bug or as a feature request, so please change the label if there's a more appropriate one.

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. When importing My Clippings.txt, all my highlights and any note associated with those highlights are imported correctly. However, notes that are not associated with a highlight fail to show up in Obsidian.

Describe the solution you'd like Would it be possible to import these notes, even if not associated with a highlight area?

Additional context

You can see in the image above that all the notes that were highlighted imported correctly. When I simply add a note without an associated highlight, nothing shows up. Here's the relevant part of My Clippings.txt:

Again, thank you so much!

EDIT: Here is My Clippings.txt

Thanks for contributing to this project and raising your first issue.

Can I ask a couple of clarifying questions:

1. How do you even add a note that does not reference a highlight using a Kindle?
2. What are some of the use cases that someone would need to add a note that is not related to a highlight?

Thanks for the prompt reply!

On the Kindle I simply press "add note" without having selected a highlight and it produces what, on the screen, looks like a reference to a footnote. This shows up in My Clippings.txt as a Note, instead of a Highlight.

I use this to write down references after longer paragraphs that expose a specific idea. For example, let's say there's a long paragraph discussing an idea that reminds me of another book. Rather than highlight an entire paragraph, I like to add a note at the beginning of the paragraph that simply refers me to another text.

I suppose the paper equivalent to this would be when you read a book and annotate the margin with cf..

And where would you ideally see these "orphaned notes" be presented in your Obsidian file?. Inside the Kindle paradigm your notes are associated to a given page. But in Obsidian you are not going to have the text for that page available there.

On the same file for a particular book. Here's an example of what I envision:

I realise the location reference doesn't work in Obsidian, but having these references allows me to build a graph, if you will, of references that I see in the book. Having the location allows me to access that position on the kindle using the Go to location function.

Now, I don't know how difficult doing something like this would be - if it's too much work, I can always work around it by highlighting the first word or sentence of a paragraph or something.
