File types: epubs (I haven't tested on kepubs and it's late)
Sideloaded or from Kobobooks: Loaded through Calibre
On external SD: No
Steps to reproduce: - If I delete a book, I delete the book, ALL the book. The next book with the same name/author or whatever can be a complete different edition. Keeping the annotations (highlights at least) is just pointless. And in addition, I suppose they spend internal storage (big or small it doesn't matter) that I'm losing!!!
Current result: Outdated highlights, pointless use of internal storage
Workaround: None that I know but deleting highlights BEFORE deleting the ebook. And that can be a PITA because there's no "Delete All" option... (Ideas are welcomed) |
This has been discussed before. The reporter was happy about it because they wanted to replace the book but keep the annotations.
The problem is that the annotations file is not removed. Annotations for epubs and PDFs on the main memory are stored in the database and in a file. When the book is opened, the file is read and replaces any annotations in the database. Deleting the file before opening the new version of the book should solve this. The file is in "Digital Editions\Annotations". The rest of the path and name are the same as the books path and name with the added extension "ANNOT".
Because of the above, it doesn't affect books on the SD card or kepubs.
