This is to inquire about how to copy notes from the Pocketbook Pro 912 (this may be similar in the previous 903 version). The reader arrived today. After an upgrade to the newest firmware (the one delivered with the reader is full of bugs), I am capable of reading and highlighting PDFs, the main reason of being for the reader for me (even though the highlights are terribly slow, and the deletion of highlights literally allows you to read a whole new book while waiting for them).

The reader stores the highlights in the notes section on the device, albeit without spaces between the words. However, I need to be able to extract these highlights unto my computer (in text files) to be able to further work with them (otherwise the device is useless to me). I was instructed by Pocketbook Support PRIOR to purchasing the reader that the reader does exactly this, i.e. simply creates a text file with the extracted highlights for each book (after the purchase their phone line kindly seems to be disconnected). The notes folder of the reader, however, is empty when connecting it to a PC.

Can anybody tell me whether the reader stores the highlights somewhere and, if so, how I can access them on my PC? If it does not do that, I would try to return the device...

Many thanks for your help!
