I am a Chinese Kindle User and I have tried the global one, and ended up in vain. I am convinced that many of the users of the plugin is from China, so it is necessary to add support for the Chinese website: Amazon.cn.

Last but not least, thank you for your developing for people who love reading!

Can you confirm that your books are accessible on this URL please: https://read.amazon.cn/notebook

When I first clicked on the link, it showed this

After I entered the name of a book and tried to search it, it successfully popped up the book search page

I do not know if this meet the requirements of the test?🤔

Thank you for your dedication again!

I believe this is a show stopper.

The plugin's cloud sync works by accessing Amazon's online Kindle Reader and scraping the HTML. Checkout the following screenshot to see what that read looks like.

It seems that Amazon does not have such an experience available for Chinese users. I just had a read online and there are several news reporting that Kindle books are no longer available in China as of this year.

Your other option hence is to sync your highlights using the My Clippings file on the device using a USB cable.

It's a real shame, but thanks for your work! Maybe Amazon didn't offer this kind of online note viewing solution for Chinese users from the beginning 🥲
