Correct!

It sounds to me like a very good idea!

OK. I did another annotation that you can see below, but please consider that it is the same as the previous ones because that book was never sent to the device from Calibre but only downloaded from Amazon:

assaporare ogni respiro. Contiene azoto, ossigeno e idrogeno, così come altri oligoelementi, quindi ogni respiro che incameriamo e buttiamo fuori racchiude la Terra. Con ognuno di essi ci viene ricordato che facciamo parte di questo bellissimo pianeta che dà la vita.

Furthermore, I tried to change one annotation in the MyClippings file replacing the straight quote with the curly apostrophe and, even without changing the metadata in the Calibre library (where in the title there is the straight quote), the plugin matched the annotation, as you can see in the attached screenshot!

Of course, it is much much better and functional now; thanks a lot for all the work!
