@ft-fujii Can you confirm if the online Amazon Kindle website (https://read.amazon.co.jp/notebook) shows the last 3 characters that you are saying are missing.

My current hunch is that they are also cut-off there (because the plugin is simply scraping their website).

@hadynz I've also been encountering the issue above. But this is not coming from this plugin but from Kindle itself.

@ft-fujii When you highlight sentences via iPhone or Android, these problems happen (See https://nogunori.com/entry/2018/03/17/060000) It's not cool, but the solution is to highlight two to three extra characters.
