How do annotations work?
Hi all, I've plugged in my Sony PRS-T2, but I'm just confused on how annotations work. I can see some files with the extension '.note' and I assume these are what annotations are stored, but I don't know how annotations work exactly: does the PRS-T2 upload the annotations to the Reader software? At the moment, I have multiple copies of a few ebooks on my PRS-T2 and I want to delete them, but I don't want to accidentally delete my annotations.
How do annotations work when there are multiple copies of the same book? Does each book have its own annotations file? I'm using the Evernote functionality to highlight quotes in ebooks so I can look at them later on my PC. However, if I delete the annotations I don't think I'll know which quotes I've highlighted just by reading ebooks on the PRS-T2. Are the annotations uploaded to the Sony Desktop Software when I plug in the PRS-T2? This is the note-taking system I've devised: https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sho...d.php?t=225769 Please help me! |

i am pretty sure, from reading other threads - that sony has a single database for all notes, & that there is no easy way to export it. that database lives on the reader.
search all forums on this site for annotations and/or for notes & you should find much disicussion of formats, uploading,downloading.... |

Does anyone know where the Sony software stores annotations? |

rename that file - see what damage has been done, then rename it back again the "normal " side effect of deleting /renaming a database file, is that the database stops working duh! |
