Koreader Highlights utility

[rhsanborn]

I tried launching KoHighlights v.2.0.2.0 and I can't get it to launch. Error below. I downloaded and tried v1.7.6.0 and it launches.

Source system:
Fedora v40
Python 3.12.3

Hello everyone,

I often read books and documents in PDF format using KOReader on my e-reader. While reading, I frequently highlight content that needs attention. However, I have encountered two issues.

The first issue is that KOReader (and other e-reader software) cannot synchronize highlights made while reading on my computer with those made on my e-reader.

The second issue is that when revisiting the content, I want to quickly skim through pages with highlights, but KOReader (and other e-reader software) does not support this functionality either.

I decided to dedicate a few days off to studying the source code architecture of KOReader, learning the Lua programming language, and developing these two features.

If you're interested, you can download the installation file and the source code of the software at
