I see. You are a self-confessed MapleRead newbie, but a Marvin old-timer.

I understand that this is very tough for app developers to get right, but there's no way around it, if it's to be done properly. Right now, highlights are corrupted in that they do not preserve basic and fundamental text formatting features such as paragraph breaks, italics or bold. I tried it with your Alice test e-book, and upon exporting a highlight from it that contains italics or multiple paragraphs, everything gets converted to plain-text and merged into a single paragraph. That's just unacceptable, if you need to deal with literature on a scholarly level, as I do.

I won't call it a flaw. I will call it a missing feature. Anyway, I have yet to see any EPUB reader that fully supports this "missing feature". As EPUB is based on HTML, I have yet to see any web browser (desktop or mobile) that supports this "missing feature". Why? Don't be too harsh!
However, not everything you stated in #4 above is correct. MapleRead highlights do preserve the "newline" characters between adjacent paragraphs. It does not unconditionally merge everything in a single paragraph. I have tried it so many times myself that I know that's not the case. Even their sample note lists and screenshots clearly show that's not the case. See the screenshot of FAQ
