Soooo... has anyone come up with a solution for exporting notes and annotations from Marvin and importing them into Calibre yet?? (pleeeeeeease??)

I have found that I can export a file from my Marvin app on my iPad and send the export via email - it produces an *.mrvi file with most of the details in it. Is there any way to use this to import into Calibre?

I put some dummy / test data in to Marvin then exported - to summarise my test data:

For the book '01 Unicorn Lane - Curran POV Collection' by author 'Gordon Andrews': I added a Note, but this doesn't seem to be included in the export - I am happy to chase this up with the developer as I put a lot of my information in to the 'Notes' field, but I can work around this if nothing can be done (hopefully they fix this though!). I also added a highlight, with annotation. Highlighted text: 'I was in Unicorn Lane at night.' , Annotation: 'Testing highlights and annotations
Test test' . I also added 'supernatural' to my vocabulary list.

See below for the entry from the *.mrvi file:
