 # readclip
 
 readclip reads the My\ Clippings.txt from your kindle device and exports it to Markdown.
+
+## Useage
+Copy the `My\ Clippings.txt` from your Kindle device. Usually all your highlighting and notes are
+exported with the marked text in that plain text file.
+
+*Hint:* If you copy a pdf directly on your device, the Clippings-file gets empty. You'll need to
+send the pdf via email to your kindle. I really don't know why or how you can do it without amazon.
+If someone knows how to do that, please tell me.
