Show HN: I built a free service that resurfaces your Kindle highlights

It's very basic at this point: it's just a Chrome browser extension that syncs your Kindle highlights then emails you 5 random highlights at 17:25 UTC every day. Once you sign up on the website, there will be a link to download the Chrome extension. Once the Chrome extension is installed, just press the "sync" button on the website and wait for it to grab the highlights.

If you sign up, I'll make sure you get free access to this thing for life (or until the project dies).

Bit of a noob-ish question: But why can't folks just continue to use older versions of the kernel, with the ia64 support?
