Many people sent me emails asking whether the plugin supports exporting of typed notes and/or highlighted pieces of text. This is not the case at the moment. Also, the plugin only supports PDF books, not EPUB. So, for now, it's only handwritten notes in PDF books/documents.

Unfortunately, my time is limited, creating the plugin as it is now was already far from trivial. Furthermore, the Calibre Python "distribution" is not equipped with libraries that support extensive editing of PDF files. Exporting Sony's handwritten notes into a separate PDF file, and subsequently merging this "layer" with the original book is possible. However, advanced PDF editing (e.g. adding highlighting) is much harder...

Rendering handwritten notes on top of EPUB (HTML-like) files is also difficult, as the text flow is unclear.

If I have some spare time in the future, I will look at those things, but it's not likely to happen anytime soon, I'm afraid.

Sorry guys!
