How hard that is depends on the file format.
Yeah, I looked into the template for the Annotations plugin. I'm not really a programmer though and am very unfamiliar with Python so transferring annotations to Calibre would have to wait until I have more time to devote to it. I'd probably need to create the batch file to run Calibre Portable from source, too.

Honestly, I'm quite undecided on how I want to store annotations in Calibre. Considering two options: as custom column (may become unmanageable) or in ebook format that I never use but is supported by ebook-viewer.exe.
