This is a great idea and I'm excited to use it! But getting the following error when I plug in my Kindle and try to import the My Clippings.txt file from the Kindle folder.

It seems you're missing the dateutil module for Python. I'm not sure what kind of system you're on (MacOS perhaps?), but you can try typing the following in a command shell: sudo pip3 install dateutil

In my case, I had installed python3 via homebrew and it did not recognize the dateutil module (even that it was installed).

Updating the correct path to python3 in line 1 of extract-kindle-clippings.py (in my case #!/opt/homebrew/bin/python3) fixed the issue!
