I don't really expect them to be different. The way they are stored in the database is the same except for whether there is a note or not.

As for side-loaded kepub, I am up to date of calibre and its extended plugin. There is a new version of it since yesterday, and I will try it again tonight.
I have just been playing with the new version and have no problem with lots of highlights in a chapter. But, I have found a problem.

If the highlight goes from the first sentence of the paragraph to the second sentence, the next paragraph and the rest of the chapter is highlighted. This is caused by the way the extended driver sets the id spans in the book.

It is quite strange that we don't obtain the same results for the Kobo books, it would mean that the problem is about the Aura, supposing we both have the same system software [2.5.2]
Well, I wasn't thinking of that. I am actually running beta firmware. But, I wasn't expecting a change in this area. Maybe there has been a fix.
