PRS-600 Backup and Restore of Notes

raymondchen625 · 12-20-2009, 11:17 PM

There seems no way to backup and restore my notes of a particular ebook on my Sony PRS-600, especially for those encrypted ones.
Since the response speed becomes very slow when I have marked hundreds of notes in a book, dosn't matter the book is on the main memory or the memory card, I have to delete all notes of a book after I finished it. But when I review the book later, I'd like to have the notes back.
I still cannot figure out a way to do it. I tried backing up the .annot file and overwrite it back later, no luck.

There are a couple different places that the 600 uses to store notes.

Features supported by ADE (bookmarks and highlighting w/notes) should appear in the annotations file. There is a second folder for the ebook that will contain scribbling notes for the ebook.

I'm not entirely sure where the metadata lives that links these two together.
