Consulting Notes

[roger64]

I apologize if there is an easy way to do it but I did not find it.

I proof-readed a book of mine on Kobo Glo and took note (Add Note, typing the text, Save) of some mistakes. Now, I would like to consult these notes, going from the first one to the next and so on, so as to correct the book on my computer.

Is this possible? If not, what the use of taking notes?

The notes are accessed from the annotations list. Press the middle of the screen and then the book icon. Then select "Annotations".

From the list you can view the full annotation, or show it in the book. But, to get to the next one, you have to go back to the list.

Oh. On one side it's written Notes, on the other side it's written Annotations, and it's enough to fool a weak brain like mine. Thanks, it's OK now. Could be more handy but anyway quite useful.

Hi,

if you want to export your annotations and highlights to CSV format (e.g., for using them in a spreadsheet program), you can use my Python script which you can download
here.

Usage:

$ python export_Kobo_notes.py [ARGUMENTS]

Arguments:
 -h, --help          : print this usage message and exit
 -f, --file <file>   : <file> is the path to KoboReader.sqlite
 -c, --csv           : output CSV values, instead of human-readable strings
 -o, --output <file> : write output to <file>

Exit codes:

 0 = no error
 1 = invalid argument(s) error
 2 = file KoboReader.sqlite not found
 4 = provided file is not a valid KoboReader.sqlite db
 8 = output file cannot be written

Examples:

 1. Print this usage message
    $ python export_Kobo_notes.py -h

 2. Print annotations and highlit passages in human-readable form
    $ python export_Kobo_notes.py -f KoboReader.sqlite

 3. As above, but output to file output.txt
    $ python export_Kobo_notes.py -f KoboReader.sqlite -o output.txt 

 4. As above, but output in CSV form
    $ python export_Kobo_notes.py -c -f KoboReader.sqlite

 5. As above, but output to output.csv
    $ python export_Kobo_notes.py -c -f KoboReader.sqlite -o output.csv
