Can you export your highlighted .epub file with the highlightings preserved?

Is there an app that can export your .epub file with the all the highlightings that you have made to the file intact so that you can post it online so that other people can download your highlighted version of the .ePub?

When you highlight on an .ePub file, does that actually make a change in the file or does the highlight only exist in the app?

As far as I know the simple answer is no any highlighting is saved as a separate file and is not integrated into the e-pub so you will finish up with two files that have to be used with the same app on the same device at the same zoom for it to have any meaning.

The only way you are going to achieve what you want is to edit the e-pub directly using some program like Sigil and then saving the resulting e-pub.

Doing it that way will get round the problems of different devices using different readers with different zoom levels.

I don't know what you mean by zoom.
