viewing an iBook ebook on Mac -- highlights and notes
Hi,
The bottom line of the problem is that highlights and notes are not visible in Calibre. The problem in more detail: ================= I am using the iBooks app on an iPad Mini (IOS 7.1). I like iBooks a lot. Synching with my Mac via iTunes works seamlessly. If I delete the book from my iPad, and then synch with iTunes, the book is restored to the iPad and all my highlights and notes are there. If I want to read the book in Calibre, I use "Add books" and load the book. When I double click it to open it, the text is there but none of the highlights or notes. Is there any way to see the highlights and notes that I put in the book while reading it on the iPad? Thanks for your help. Andynic PS: Please note, I am brand new to all of this. |

No, annotations of all kinds use special metadata maintained by the reader program. In dozens of different formats.
There is no standardization, and iBooks for example does not export annotations. I believe Marvin (iOS app) exports annotation to calibre -- the developer of Marvin put a lot of effort into integrating with calibre. |
