The problem that I was referring to is that there is no way to copy the annotations back to the device from calibre. The annotations are added to the text in the comments of the metadata. There isn't enough information to recreate the appropriate records on the device. |

I would suggest going through the saved files and finding one that definitely has annotations in it. It is a text file containing XML. You can open them in a text editor. The first few lines show the book it is for, then there will be a"<annotation>" tag for each annotation. Once you find one, make sure it has been copied to the correct place on the device. Then, disconnect the device and test the book. If the annotations aren't there, add one, close and reopen the book to check that it is saved. Then connect the device and check the annotation file to see if the new annotation is there. And it is the name expected. tshering's idea of checking the saved database would help check what books had annotations before the reset. Putting it back on the device might work, but it is likely to put you back to the same point you were before the reset. You could extract the annotations from the database and insert them into the current database. But, I have tried this in the past and it didn't. My tests show that, the annotations file takes precedence. Whatever is in that file will be read when opening the book. |

Thanks guys, but I think I am out of luck. In the Annotations folder, there are folders for tons of books that I never read, and therefore would have no annotations, and yet one book that I know for a fact I highlighted passages in and dog-eared some pages in, does not show up. So I must've done something wrong when I copied the folder over to my computer before doing the factory reset.

BTW, if you are interested in exporting the annotations and highlights from your KoboReader.sqlite to text/CSV (e.g., for importing them in a spreadsheet), see:
