For what you describe in your first post, the only current solution would be: - Convert the books to ePub
- Read the ePub and make your comments
- Manually edit the original ePub, or better yet a copy of it, and enter your comments as either in-line text or as end notes.
- Convert the edited ePub to AZW and perhaps the older MOBI.
You now have distribution files. Kindles can't read ePub so you would need to have both ePub and AZW/Mobi available in order to have a truly universal "library". |
I remember finding a copy of Pilgrim's Progress over at Feedbooks that another person had uploaded there. He had annotated his copy using an old dictionary so that modern readers could follow the story easier. Words that were in common use during Bunyan's lifetime have either fallen out of use or their meanings (and possibly spellings) have changed since then. But then again Pilgrim's Progress is several centuries old and long since out of copyright as others have said. You can't just annotate a book that comes out this year and pass it on. Perhaps you could take notes and then create a separate book file that contains the notes for a given book and pass that on to your friend. Certainly you couldn't pass on the book itself to him/her though. I did something very like that (taking notes) of some Udemy courses I've taken in the past. I went through the video files as they were presented and took notes which I then made into little ebook files for my own review.
