Post Epub 3.3 standard from W3C supporting highlights/notes compatibility between devices?
Dear forum,

After skimming through the standard and navigate several resources online (youtube videos, forums...) I am not sure whether the new standard finally allow for highlights/notes compatibility between devices/programs. Can anyone shed some light on it?

Thanks!

Yeah, Already seen this but not able to interpret it. Is is possible, with the new standard, to see the highlights taken in kobo/kindle in calibre when loaded the epub file?

Not possible at all. Just because It's specified in ePub 3.3, that does not mean it will be supported. Besides, it's too new and a lot of software doesn't get updated to the latest spec.

As for Amazon, it's not ePub. So that's out 100%.

What Jon means to say is that it’ll take awhile before apps are updated to conform to the new spec. Once done, you should be able to read these standard-format highlights/notes across any/all apps that support the new spec. But it may take awhile before you’ll see this widely adopted.
