Thanks for the reply

On point (1) It might be clearer to users like me (for whom the Kindle is a bit of black box) to state at the beginning of the guidance that the plugin uses the clippings.txt file. So, if that file is incomplete (or worse entirely missing if the Kindle has been reset) then the plugin has no data to work on.

In spite of a mention in the 'workflow' section, it took a few tries to work out why I wasn't getting all my annotations because, as I said, I had deleted an earlier clippings file and started a new one. Anyway, the point is a bit moot I guess because now that I know it's become obvious but it wasn't obvious to begin with (and others might be caught out).

On point (2) - blimey! You are right. I have no idea why but when I was using this earlier (before I posted) I simply could not resize the window by dragging window borders as per normal window behaviour. You just have to take my word for that! I have restarted all software, cleaned out system files, restarted the PC and now it's working. Very puzzling but 'my bad' as they say. All fine now, so apologies for the stupid observation :-)

On point (3) - well this might be a matter of operational taste. I have over 300 books in my library and so prefer to be selective about which annotations I import at any given moment; maybe I don't want to add them all at once but one or two at a time and keeping the annotations window open is a convenience. But it's OK, I can live with the way it is. A moot detail and not worth the work. :-)

On point (4) - this still seems to be a problem for me. I have reset my Kindle and have a new, clean clippings file.

I attach two sample files. One is the clippings text containing a highlight from the book Murder on the Orient Express (a kfx file), a note and a bookmark.

The second is an image of the annotations as they appear in my Calibre 'annotations' field after importing to Calibre.

Neither the labels nor the location information show up in the imported version (see the image file) and the book title is simply displayed as' 'Unknown'.

You note that "The plugin uses different styles for each. You can set this in the configuration", but I have no idea how I could use CSS to display the labels and location info (but happy to change colours, margins etc.). What I would like here is to include the book title and the labels 'highlight', 'note' or 'bookmark' along with the location value as they appear in the the clippings file. I can't see how to do that with CSS (but presumably this happens in the the Python code?).

Ignore point (5)!

Thanks for any further advice.
