The next time you connect the device, it should connect the books in the library and on the device.
Once you have the above, you can use the "Fetch annotations" that is built into calibre. Or you can use the Annotations plugin. This has more flexibility when fetching the annotations. I'm the current maintainer of this plugin.
There are a few other alternatives:
- The annotations are in an SQLite database. If you have any SQL skills, it's not hard to extract them.
- If you add "ExportHighlightsEnabled=true"" into the "FeatureSettings" section of the devices config file, when you long press on a book in the library list, it will display an option "Export Highlights". Selecting that creates a text file with the annotations for the book on the device.
- There have been a few scripts and programs published here over the years to do this. I don't know if any have been maintained. A search should find them.

Hello, thanks you for your message, I create an empty book and fetch annotation, it seems to work but where can I find these annotations and highlighted parts on my computer ? (in the ebook directory, the file metadata.opf is empty when I open it)
