Glad you found the button. Another way to do it is to open the device and remove the micro SD card. You can mount this in a computer an access the user partition. Or at least, you can under Linux. I haven't spent the time to work out how to get to that partition under Windows.

If you are planning to buy another Kobo device, take a complete copy of user partition. With a little bit of work, you can restore this to another Kobo device and be back were you started. Otherwise, you can get the annotations from two places:

- The database is in ".kobo/KoboReader.sqlite". The table of interest is called "bookmarks".

- For PDF and epubs on the main memory, the annotations are also written to files in "Digital Editions/Annotations". There is one file per book with annotations. It is an XML file that is reasonable easy to read. Again, with a little work, you can get it to another Kobo device or ADE on a desktop.
