When I give you the database, I have no idea what you do with it. And as there is data in the database that is specific to me and my Kobo account.

You're totally right. If you understand a little bit of code, you can check if that python application is doing it right. But for non programmers, it is a little more tricky. Even that desktop application out there, I heard that it is nice, but once I tried to install it, my antivirus blocked it. But, being honest, I never thought that any of those tools were doing something wrong with m data.
Well, I know that my website has that drawback. Being honest again, I don't even know if you could do anything wrong with the user's database.
Nevertheless, I hope the community could appreciate the advantages of using kobonotes.com. It is relatively fast, you can have no programming skills, and then you can save your data and read them anywhere.

The main comment is that it is only showing the highlighted text. Any annotation added to the highlight text is lost, as is the location in the book.
I'm not likely to do it. I use annotations a lot, but they are nearly all transitory to mark an error I want to fix, or something I want to look up when I am at a computer.

No problem, I should have posted a test account right from the beginning. Let me correct you, because the website also show annotations, I simply don't take much and so in those books you don't find them easily. But if you select the book "The Monk Who Sold Is Ferrari", you will see annotations right there in the beginning. (They are in portuguese, sorry :P).
Again, the test login is:
testkobonotes@gmail.com and password: test
The annotations, if they exist, appear right besides the highlighted text that the belong to.
I hope I helped.
